It's a storm lipo from helipal. I don't have any other way of checking individual cell voltage, but I just checked the total voltage with my buck converter on the copter (it has led for total voltage in and out), and it reads 15.3v... totally fine! Maybe it is the charger? It works fine on my...

So I have a 4s 5500 LiPo that I've only flown with a total of THREE times... It's worked pretty great as far as I can tell. I've balance charged it every time at <1s. I've never even discharged it below 40%! I went to charge it today and my charger threw a cell balance error - looked at the...

Let me put it this way: Once I'm skilled enough I'd LOVE to eventually do stuff like this: http://www.bestquadcopter.com/dji-phantom-quadcopter-flight-in-nyc/ But would the multi rotor community as a whole consider this guy a "reckless *******"?

Yeah I've been trying to seek out the open spaces, though with the weather being so nice it's a tall order. I'm actually gonna buy a nano quad to practice with in my apartment as well. But skills practice aside, you don't see a lot of "empty soccer field" videos out there. I guess I'm more...

Hi guys, Apologies in advance if this is a little rambly. I want to try to voice all my concerns. I've been a video professional for years, which is what led to my interest in AP. I'm pretty new to the scene, having just completed my first f550 about a month ago... and the biggest question...

I built my first setup with about the same budget - dji f550 hex, naza v2 w/ gps, futaba t10j tx (quality), tarot gimbal (meh), go pro 3 black, fpv and monitor. I followed along with the group build on this thread (it's for f450, but essentially the same). I was a COMPLETE noob when starting...

Got my first f550 flight in with camera and gimbal the other day. Overall, it's very responsive and flies well. On GPS mode it's solid as a rock even in lots of wind. Right now my gains are at default. 2 questions: 1.) I'm using the Tarot t-2d gimbal which is only a 2 axis gimbal... so I'm...

I wish I had gone with Zenmuse myself, but they seemed to be out of stock everywhere, so I settled. My big problem with fear is I live in a dense city with nowhere good to practice flying (without a significant drive). And when I do find a semi open space, there's still always a much bigger...

subsonic to answer your question I have a tarot t-2d for my go pro... it comes with its own GCU, and I have the pitch control plugged straight into the Naza so I can tilt it with a knob. It works fantastically now, BUT setting it up was full of headaches due to various design flaws of the gimbal...

Gotta jump in on this thread too since I just got my second flight done - I'm mostly a lurker but I managed to go from completely green to building a nice f550 that WORKS, mostly because of this forum... keep up the chit-chat guys! I'll try to contribute my experiences too. My question to the...

Hey all good to note for the future. I didn't realize motor alignment (I'm assuming we are talking about it rotating around a cylidrical boom arm) was a major issue. So much stuff to keep track of! I updated my profile - I'm in Chicago, if that helps. So after a lot more searching it seems...

Hi folks, new here, but been lurking and researching for a while. If there's a better place I should be posting this specific question please let me know. I've finally decided to bite the bullet and build my first multi - I decided I wanted to mostly DJI (f550, Naza v2, H3-2d), as well as a...
