Hmm.. You got me thinking, so I did some more tests after giving up on it for the day. (the sofa was calling my name on this lazy sunday) I can still enter programming mode on the other ESC's with no problem. I hooked everything back up to see if they still responded as they did before I...

I'm using the throttle method. I've had zero trouble with any of the ESC's, but it's throwing a fit now that I want to program it. Do you think I'd have better luck with a programming card? I don't have a servo tester, but the esc will spin the motor, i'm just worried that they aren't all set...

I finally got around to programming these and I'm seeing something very strange. Maybe someone has seen this before. I got through 3 of the 4 esc's with no problem, but one of them refuses to go into programing mode. No matter what I try, it still thinks it's in normal mode. Has anyone ever...

I'll post some more later today. I ended up going into the office till 9pm yesterday after the shoot. Deadlines suck. :-/

So this is a shot i've been planing on for over a year now. Once I was finally ready to get the shot, the weather turned nasty and all the trees lost their color. Today was the day that I could finally go for it. It's George Washington on top of the countries first monument to him located in...

I was actually thinking the same thing, but I figured someone here might enjoy seeing it. If nothing else, it can give you a good idea about how to make your own.

I thought this was kinda cool. Someone from a Facebook multirotor group i'm on posted it. HDMI converter that is already stripped down and made to mount on Droidworx landing gear. http://www.uavrotorking.com/hdmi-to-composite-s-video-converter-3rca-crt-tv-cvbs

I was thinking the same thing, Bart.

Didn't you already post something like this once? I'm starting to wonder if you are on Patricks payroll. ;-) Just kidding with you. Glad you had a good experience.

So what am I hearing in this video? Is your ground station talking to you or do you have a CB in the truck?

Sorry for your accident, but thanks for sharing. The best thing you can do before putting the goggles on is make a mental map in your head of your surroundings. Obviously, this is much easier to do in a big open field. After a while, it will come second nature and you won't even realize you are...

I know that, and actually was only using 1 servo for a while, so I wasn't that worried about it. The point I was trying to make is that the power that does come out of the controller wasn't being regulated to the proper voltage, not matter if I was supposed to be using it or not.

I plan to do exactly that when I have a little down time next weekend, Ken. Thanks for confirming what I was thinking.

Yes, they call the left props "pusher props."

I was always under the impression that it needed a BEC due to the increased amperage though, not the lack of voltage regulation. I had just picked up a BEC to use, but I tried the 4s out first and now I have to buy 2 new servos. :apathy:

As long as I've been flying these crazy birds, I've always used 3s batteries. This week I wanted to give a 4s a go. The second I plugged it in, both of my gimbal servos were nuked. Does the DJI not regulate the power that goes out to the gimbal servos? I've since picked up a Castle BEC and...

I just hope they keep it as an open platform instead of forcing you to use it only with other DJI equipment. That seems to be a popular business model lately that is good for the bottom line, but bad for consumers. Ed, do you have any idea of price range? Also, was wondering if this is going...

I just stumbled across this post from NAB. http://expo.nabshow.com/mynabshow2012/public/Booth.aspx?IndexInList=0&Upgrade=&FromPage=nz_ALExhibitorSearch.aspx&BoothID=146784&Task=ProductsDetails&PRODID=4834

Personally, I would put the esc out on the arms. It gets better air flow that way and keeps everything neat under the hood.

I've still got a Flymentor in the shop waiting to be put on my Blade SR. ;-)
