Looking to purchase some more batteries, but having difficulty finding them. I currently use Sky Lipos 4 cell, 40C continuous/80C burst, 5000mah, but everyone seems to be out of them. Will use other brand name batteries if anyone knows where to get them.

I purchased a Garmin GTU 10. Works well. Not that big or heavy.

Mine starts right away, but won't reach takeoff RPMs until your at 50%. This is the way they made it work.

I'm having issues with my Photohigher AV130. Now using the 3.10 Naza firmware and when my F550 is level, the gimbal is level. But when I roll my craft, the gimble over corrects in both directions. Have changed gains without any success. Worked fine on previous firmware. I did have to replace the...

I agree. Thanks for the responses, I'll let you know what I find out

Powering servos from my Hitech receiver, will have to put a voltmeter on it tonight to let you know the voltage. Prior to rebuilding my AV130, it worked good. Only difference is I'm using the new Naza Software 3.10.

Tried lowering my gains. Still over corrects, no where close to being level. Freq is at 400.

Will be home in two days and will give it a try. Thanks for the tip.

New pot arrived today. Installed it and that was the problem. Recallibrated everything. Only issue I have now is when the F550 is stationary and level, I have it dialed in so the gimbal is nice and level also, but when I roll the F550 it over corrects in both directions. Changed my gains, but no...

My LED on power-upMy LED was flashing so fast, I wasn't sure of what I was seeing, so I videoed it, then slowed it down with a video editor. This is what I get on power-up: RGO-RGO-RGO-GGGG This is the System start-up and self check. Then I get a series of 3 reds and two greens. The reds...

I've always had issues with F550 drifting backwards and to the right after take off. Also have had issues with toilet bowl effect. I've changed gains, rotated GPS and re-calibrated GPS/Compass. Nothing I've ever done has helped. Been flying this way for a year now, I just know what it's going to...

Good to hear you have it fixed. Hope my new pot solves my issue. Should get it tomorrow or the next day. Will let you know results.

Maverick, Purchased pot from Aerial Technlogy Inc. aerialtechnology.com They have a web site with phone number. Ask for Steve or Lawrence, very helpfull. I would imagine Photohigher has them also.

Maverick/Kim, I removed the pot for the roll servo (the one that isn't working) and connected the pot from the tilt servo to the roll servo and it works. Kim had e-mailed me with this idea last week (thanks). Rechecked the wiring to the bad pot with Ohm meter just to be sure its not a bad wire...

My AV130 roll mechanism is not working. I have the roll servo and potentiometer disengaged from the main gold gear for testing purposes. When I put power to it, the gear on the roll servo spins continuously in one direction. I slowly rotate the screw on the potentiometer trying to find the spot...

I would like to be able to be out and about taking aerial shots of homes, events (races, weddings etc) and other activities (flying a 550 with Nex 5) and be able to show people the different shots I got and print them on scene. Small phone devices don't show large enough view. I was thinking...

I'm using this to mount the AV130 to my 550. http://aerialmediapros.com/store/product_info.php/dji-f550-camera-mounting-plate-with-silicone-suspension-p-186

If it is determined that a F550 could safely fly a Sony NEX, I'd then need to trigger it from the ground for still photography. Does anyone know about remotes for these Sony NEX cameras? Is so what is the range and weight? I'm using a Strattosnapper to control my video and snaps remotely...

Just saw this over on RCGroups http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AN0tvzQRRdk

I usually TO/L in ATTI mode anyways. Only other issue would be that your RTH location is going to be where you turned on your power, which you would probably want to happen anyways unless you were a long ways out in the water, then not have the battery capacity to get back to the beach.
