The flying cable is just a simple paralel Y, you can make yourself or buy. The charging is not done in parallel I use either my 4 position Hitech or my Hyperion charger, and always balance charge all my Lipos. When on location I run these chargers from marine batteries in my truck or off a...

Here is my simple leg solution and my Yun-1 gimbal. This works very well and is light. I use 3/8" carbon rods for the legs and rods to hold Lipo and Yun-1 gimbal. Not as good as a Zenmuse but only $400.00 for the gimbal. Here is my first test flight with this rig: It was a bit windy and my...

This is shot with the Zenmuse gimbal by DJI. It is brushless and works incredible well. You can read about it on the DJI web pages. http://www.dji-innovations.com/product/zenmuse-gimbal-z15/ In my mind the S800/Zenmuse/iOSD/dual8FGs combo is about as good as it gets for less than $10K.

This is the raw footage of a demo flight for a client that signed on to have us shoot aerials this summer of their "attraction" we already do a lot of video to promote them TV spots and web video and Kiosks for tradeshows and visitors centers. They were blown away (no pun intended) by the...

Was this with GPS or in atto/manual. If in GPS it may be a bad connection to GPS antenna or loose antenna. Try w/o GPS antenna if connections seem OK. If in Atti/manual I would not risk flying it, contact your dealer. I had a Naza go crazy on me last year and DJI replaced it and then...

You can run them is series thus getting the increased voltage. Parallel will give you the initial voltage, just more amps. I run 6s lipos in parallel for added redundancy, if one pack loses a cel you still have full power. When in series the likelihood of a bad cel doubles (statistically that...

I think the reason that only video can be "zoomed" is that it is not an optical zoom it is digital, so in effect you are just cropping, so with a narrower view you get a lower pixel count. This does not matter in video because video is interpreted down. So for stills you may as well crop...

Great post ProPilot, thank you.

What radio TX/RC are you using?

Move both sticks down and out. This will start the motors, when not connected to the Assistant. You then have a few seconds to move above 10% to keep them going. It is in the manual. I always clamp the MR to a table or remove blades before testing a new MR. Make sure all the blades spin in...

Here is the first flight with the Kit. Remember I am trying to be very rough with the S800 for testing purposes. I was really trying to torture the 800 whipping it around in ways I would never do on a shoot. But it flew like on rails no sags on fast runs or fast yaws. The Horizon seems to...

The video is up on Vimeo, still being converted, but should be viewable soon. My gross takeoff weight is 15 lbs with my 2 6000 Lipos in parallel. I also run IOSD a factory repaired unit (I think this makes it V2 even though the case does not say so). And the DJI 5.8 video downlink. Othervise...

Had 2 great flights with the new anti vibe kit. They were perfect in every way. I am putting the video up on Vimeo as I write this (it is direct export from FCPX so it will take a while for Vimeo to convert). Here are the settings I use in assistant: I am still on 5.20 it works great for me...

Assembled it last night, took about an hour, quite simple, just a lot of screws to be removed and re installed. Takes a lot of thread lock. I replaced any screw that was really tight to get out. You have to spend some time figuring out what mount goes where, the easy way to do it with the solid...

I just got a package from China. I had not ordered anything so I was a bit surprised. Well it was straight from DJI. And it contains the new vibe dampening system. I had replied to their request for testing the kit. And I had emailed them as well as talked to Patrick at ArealMediaPros about...

I thought this was for the new LED and I thought that was required. I read that somewhere. I would try to go back unless you have the new LED. I could be wrong, just a thought. Another thought is I try never to be the first to try a new FW or SW update for anything including my Macs and PCs...

Thanks Eoin, That conforms what I have been told, did you fly in Atti most of the time?

Program the gains to a slider on your TX. Start with Pitch Yaw Roll. And experiment while flying, make small changes and see if it helps. In assistant note the values you come up with using the read command and save. Then do the other values. This is a quick way to dial in gains. You may go...

You may have a bad HDMI cable, as I mentioned it is pretty frail. Get another one if it fixes the problem great, if not you will have spare in your kit, I think it is essential and shold be part of your kit. If you have good video just using the hdmi out from camera into a hdmi monitor. Then...

130 130 140 160 120 120 These are the gains I have used ever since 5.16. They are very smooth. I got them originally from Patrick at AerialMediaPros. They work great even on 5.18 and 5.20. 5.20 is a little slower but smoother at stopping a decent, it is fine as long as you are ready for it. I...
