    Very unstable takeoff

    Personally and I am not the only one, I always TO/L in Atti. Often the GPS wants to move the MR a bit, I like being the only pilot when close to the ground or any object really. GPS does help in windy conditions, but even then I usually only use it while setting up a shot, when I actually fly...

    F450 Help!

    Yes Assistant only works on Windows, I use 7 on Bootcamp or actual PCs. Bootcamp is free and you can get Windows for Bootcamp for about $50.00 legally, search the WEB. There are bootleg Windows out there as well, but personally I would not risk those, others here do. So it could be free but you...

    F450 Help!

    adanac, Congratulations on your prchase, I am sure you will love the 450, it is a great flyer and pretty easy to fly. First of all you need to bind your TX/RX, if they are not bound. This is not part of the DJI system but part of your radio system. If the kit did not come with manuals, you...

    Are there any DJI Electronics repair site? GPS module stopped working...need advise.

    The first step is to contact your dealer. If they don't help then try DJI direct. But DJI wants you to go through your dealer. I use AerialMediaPros, they are great.

    YUN-1, anybody else pre-ordered this?

    That is what I am thinking as well just smaller scale and lighter. With a quick release to the MR.

    YUN-1, anybody else pre-ordered this?

    Mine is on order, I am starting to design custom landing gear. Initial thoughts below. Once I get the Yun-1 I will figure out the balance and finalize all the dimensions. The idea is to have this be a quick mount to any MR w/o landing gear, possible including extra vibe dampening clamping...

    My brushless gimbal result

    The Warp Stabilizer is in CS5.5 and CS6 versions of After Effects. It is not all that intuitive when it comes to the advanced settings but it is definitely worth learning it will smooth your shots by using the surrounding frames with no loss of resolution. These are the advanced settings, the...

    My brushless gimbal result

    Maybe try lowering the yaw gain on your MR. Your shots are really good. Warp stabilizer in AE will fix a lot of issues w/o any loss of resolution once you delve deep into the settings. It takes a long time to render but the results can be very good. If you dont have AE download a demo for 30...

    My brushless gimbal result

    rwskier, Nice video but the horizontal hunting is very distracting, I bet there is a simple adjustment to get rid of it.

    Okay folks - need some help! NAZA+GPS Carbon Core H650

    The Naza is definitely susceptible to sunlight hitting the left side of the Naza. It will cause 10' or more fast vertical moves, you have to be very quick if you are close to the ground. This is not so much of a problem with the Naza between the plates as it is unusual for the sun to hit the...

    450/550 Flyers - Share your Landing Gear and Landing Gear/Gimbal setups

    Here are some shots of my 450 and 550 setups. The 450 CF sticks weigh nothing (almost) I grooved them on a milling machine and Zip-tied them to the 450, they are very solid. I sometimes mount my GoPro under the middle of the 450 in the no-vibe setup you can see in my 450 transport box. Most of...

    Power Distribution Board question/concern

    Did you short the board or the battery? If you shorted at the battery leads then the board should be fine but the battery might be toast, this could be why you need 2 Lipos now. If you shorted on the board or from battery lead to somewhere on the board, the controller is probably toast. I...

    YUN-1, anybody else pre-ordered this?

    Are there any specs, like weight, power needed, does it interface with Naza for tilt? I have to admit I am very curious, and would order one if I could see specs and manual published as well as some more video if assembly and flight.

    DJI S800 Vibration Absorber Kits Will Be Available!!

    That looks like a great solution, I applied to test.

    Quick NAZA battery question...

    Just use alligator clips and sharp pins on the Lipos, just be careful not to short the leads.

    Quick NAZA battery question...

    I would use whatever Lipos you plan to use in the MR. I use 3cel lots of others us 4cel. Why do you need to hook the Naza w/o a MR attached? I usually hook it up the first time when the MR is complete, but w/o props installed. You really need your TX/RX, ESCs and motors hooked up in order to...

    Really PC only?

    THe WKM is coming out with iPhone/iPad app but as far as I know not the Naza in the near future. I use my MBP with Bootcamp to run the DJI SW it works perfectly, others here use the SW versions that run in parallel (no pun intended) with Mac OSX. Others have opted to buy a cheap windows...

    DJI F550 Motor's not so good. Need New Ones

    OK most of that flight seemed fine. All these MRs oscillate when descending fast, be careful. Work on being really smooth. Also I would not just take off again right after a hard landing with a tip over. That can confuse the IMU and you should check all the props, connections and arms etc...
