    Please help.... Advice needed on swapping 5.8GHz for 1.3GHz FPV!!

    I am currently running Dragonlink with the tuned version of 2.4 from Immersion. plus a Yaggi. More range than any MR has. I use a 32 channel monitor with a built in recorder for all my 5,8 stuff. The 2.4 and other stuff can also connect to it through the pole mounted Rx's. And the Fatsharks are...

    Long Distance Challenge

    5lb payload means that with most off the shelf components you need more than 4 motors but the more you have the less efficient it is and that fact is cast in stone. So what would be the best formula for success? Well it would be with no more than 4 powerful but very efficient motors and could...

    MK awesome making of video

    I have to say that Holger has stuck with his original FC and it is still a great performer but I was not that impressed with his last video that showed the auto T/O and landing. It was not that stable in comparison to the S800 EVO. The video capture stuff is also not that great considering that...

    DJI Phantom 2 Vision---25min Flight Time

    Same here, I have them all but always seem to come back to DJI in the end. I recently bought the latest Tarducopter boards and was disappointed by the lack of progress in terms of stability since 2 years ago. And it still has bugs. A good cheap and reliable board is the Afro32 from TC. I'll be...

    DJI Phantom - where did these come from?

    I think that if the circlip was not seated properly during assy. Then when it was tested before packing it just came off and lay in the bottom. Even if they come off, the magnetic field is usually strong enough to stop the bell coming off in flight.

    Getting props in shot using a gimbal?

    Here is my solution Note that there must be at least 55mm between the roll motor and the mag. the lens is changed to 60 deg. from 127 deg. and it is good to shoot 2.7K (P) Not only does the lowering of the camera remove the props from view it also stops the glare from the red nav. lights at...

    End of a two day shoot and had a motor failure.

    Corrosion or vibration could open the circuit. I would check everything and then run it tethered between two chairs for an hour or so. Leave it free to rotate in roll and then in pitch. Run the motors from a PSU

    Endurance

    Ferdinand They are definitely using Li ion chemistry and the charging rate can be as high as 70-80C. Obviously they don't stick individual panasonic cells together. The main problem with li ion is that the laminations must be contained in a strong case or they will push apart. Red Bull have a...

    End of a two day shoot and had a motor failure.

    Ben There was a spat of bad connectors from the Rx cables to the center plate with many of the earlier S800's that cause such a problem. resoldering can eliminate that.

    Naza/Phantom problem solved

    After an hours drive to shoot a small job I was somewhat surprised when one of my Phantoms started playing up. At first it would not arm and then finally the motors started and I lifted off. However when I tried to go back or forward, or Left or Right, no response at all. All it would do is go...
