    Flying a GH-4, would you go for a DJI S900 or a well built Skyjib 6?

    Just interested in the views of those with experience in both platforms. The question's in the title… so what route would you go down and why? Cheers, Dom.

    Battery level warnings in Naza Flight Assistant

    Hi all, I'm having some issues getting the level 1 and 2 warnings right on my F550 running 4S packs. I have a mix of 5000mAh, 6000mAh and 4300mAh packs. The issue I have is that I still seem to have a lot of charge in the packs after a relatively short flight. I'm playing with the settings...

    Preferred video editing software

    Hi All, I've decided to embark on a massive change in career and setup a humble aerial filming business. I'm working on all the logistics that I need to get in place before I can launch, but need some advice from those with more experience. I have no intention of becoming a post production...

    Hardcase LiPo batteries for multi rotor - a good or bad thing?

    Another battery question…. Do hardcase LiPo batteries work as well in MR's as standard ones or is there no difference? I just wondered whether the hard case caused them to get hotter and potentially become a fire risk. Thanks, Dom.

    Dumb battery question

    I feel really dumb asking this, but here goes. I've always used 4s 14.8v packed on my F550. Can I use 3s packs and interchange them with 4s in the field without changing anything in the setup? I know very little about batteries (as you can probably guess!) but swopping a 14.8v pack for an...

    F550 battery problems (again) - Help needed please :-)

    Tried the Mac version and it just crashes as soon as I open the application, so back to the drawing board on that one :upset: I spoke to the people I bought the batteries off today and they're suggesting that I've wrecked the batteries by occasionally leaving them fully charged. They think...

    F550 battery problems (again) - Help needed please :-)

    Thanks… will give this a go. The only issue might be that we only have Mac's in our house and it looks like the Naza Assistant will only run on Windows. A challenge to overcome I guess :nevreness: Dom.

    F550 battery problems (again) - Help needed please :-)

    Thanks for the feedback Gary… much appreciated. I'll follow your advice and do some testing of the battery packs I have. I've got 3 of the 4250mAh packs and 2 of the 6000mAh packs. They're about 1 year old and have had approximately 30 charge cycles in that time. Do you happen to know how I...

    F550 battery problems (again) - Help needed please :-)

    Thanks SJBrit… that explains a lot and is definitely more like what I'd like to see from the batteries! I now need to figure out how I change the point at which the red light starts flashing. I have an EZ OSD system which allows me to see the voltage on the Black Pearl screen. Do you happen...

    F550 battery problems (again) - Help needed please :-)

    Hi All, First post for a while, so be gentle :nevreness: I've read everything I can find on the forum on this topic, but I'm still unsure why I'm getting such bad flight times from my rig. Here are the details: DJI F550 with stock motors and ESC's Naza GPS Aeroxcraft landing gear Brushless...

    Newbie question - DJI F550 and FPV using GoPro 3

    Thanks Tstrike... that does help a lot. If I were to drop the idea of using the GP as the FPV camera (due to the gimball issue you mention), what camera would you recommend as a good solid unit that's easy enough to setup and use? Thanks again, Dom.

    Newbie question - DJI F550 and FPV using GoPro 3

    Hi All, First post, so be gentle :-) I've got my first multi-rotor (DJI F550) which has a gimball for my GP3. I'd like to add Fat Shark FPV, but have a couple of questions: 1) Is it possible to have the GP3 recording vidoe whilst also acting as the output camera for the FPV.... or do I need...
