I'm doing an F550 build and there appears to be no instruction about how the motors connect to the ESC's, i.e., they are unmarked. Do I just connect them in their "natural" order the way they come out of the motor?

Starting an F550 build and I'd like to know the orientation of the XT-60 connectors? Is it male from the frame and female on the lipo?

The question is how! This is what sometimes drives me nuts about this business - there is no way to find out what gear/practice is good. You just have to buy things and try them. If they don't work, you're out that money and have to try again! It's also nutty that DJI doesn't offer a way to...

Unfortunately, my P2Z and/or gimbal are defective. They don't produce smooth footage. I bought it at B&H more than 30 days ago. What are my options?

Thank you for that great perspective. I think this is where I am decision-wise. What are the advantages/disadvantages of using two batwings? I imagine that the center of gravity will be slightly lower. Is that bad or good. I'm also going to need landing gear anyway. Still confused about it...

The batwing was mentioned just two or three posts above, which is why I emailed you! It's meant to attach the Zenmuse to, correct? I've seen earlier references to hard-mounting, which is not what I'd like to do. The batwing might be a solution for me but I'm not sure I want to be married to...

That DJI offers no way to use an F550 and H3-2D together blows me away. Also, I purchased the package from Aerial Media Pros and they also never mentioned that I have to search elsewhere for a way to attach a Zenmuse to an F550. They should have.

I finally got a chance to fly my P2Z in very little wind, perhaps 5mph or less. The uncontrollable yaw was much reduced so I think the lesson is that if you no yaw you want no wind. Still I get lots of shake and can't understand it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9u_ZlvlRYMw&feature=youtu.be

I'd be happy with suggestions from any one of the many hundreds of folks who have done it! :)

Does DJI not make something that will allow one to use a Zenmuse with an F550? Are they not either the same company or related companies?

What do I need to put an H3-2D (or 3D) on my F550?

Sad to hear. I would assume they are telling the truth. If I were them and wanted to invent a reason for a delay, I would not invent one (problems) that left the customer apprehensive about the product itself. I would invent something more benign, like shipping issues or what not.

Ha, okay. Above my pay grade. :)

Right on. 1) What is that wire called? I'll order some. 2) I solder separate leads from the main contacts on the lower board and then cap them until I use them? I will definitely use the Zenmuse GoPro.

I've ordered an F550 from AMP (easy to order online, nearly impossible to get a principle to talk to or respond to e-mail :(). A couple of questions: 1) Does it come with the wires? The Manual implies that it does not. 2) I'm going to add FPV gear after the build or maybe during if it all...

I got the prop balancer and searched back for this thread to look at the soldering iron recommendations so I can buy one today. One is 220V and another is $262. With all due respect to fine tools, I'm hoping it isn't necessary to spend $262 to solder the wires to an F550! :). Perhaps a...

I think I was just surprised that a Zenmuse 3D for GoPro would be a surprise. I called another retailer and they haven't heard about it. Maybe the first retailer was mistaken. In any case, I'm not inclined to wait to build an F550. I'll probably push the button on that, anyway. Would that...

I had planned to get the $799 F550 deal this morning (F550, NAZA V2 w/GPS, Gimbal) and called a good-sized US dealer about it. He said he wasn't offering that deal and that it's going to change this week because he will have a new Zenmuse 3D gimbal in stock as early as tomorrow. I wonder if he...

Very clever!

Can the LED strips one installs be made to flash the NAZA codes? Also, can anyone point me to a retailer that offers a decent selection of LED strips?
