    Phantom 2 and Jeti DC-16 Tx: Conversion

    Hi, just looked at your clip and would like a bit more info on how you've connected up the R9 and get the P2 to see it. I've been trying to do this since december - without any luck. If you could detail the way you've installed the R9 and set it up, you can't quite imagine how bloody happy i'd be.

    Phantom 2 - Receiver Options POLL

    I'm starting the poll to gather some numbers with which i can go back to DJI. The simple request is "Please add 'traditional' and 'ppm' receiver types to the Phantom 2 assistant options" If as a Phantom 2 user, you would like this function - a function available to all other Naza hardware -...

    Considering getting DX18, what other options should I consider?

    I know i was banging on about the Jeti DS-16, but if price is a consideration you might want to look at the FrSky Taranis - which is a shed load less costly than any of the above. I was looking at a review by RCModelReviews on Youtube and it seems to be very well featured - with a built in...

    Considering getting DX18, what other options should I consider?

    If you're looking for an alternative then i can highly recommend the Jeti DS-16, but it is more expensive. On the up side the build of the radio is like nothing you'll have seen before - machined from aluminium alloy, hall effect gimbals, accelerometers and massive amounts of configurability...

    Can someone please explain the NAZA's Receiver Advanced Protection function?

    In a situation where communication between the radio and Naza is lost - ie a fly-away - DJI are assuming that there will be no input change on the control channels, which is probably a fair assumption if the loss is down to external interference. However, 20 seconds is a long, long time when...

    THE first flight test of DJI A2 FC firmware upgrade V2.1

    couldn't agree less with that statement Bart. I have no issue with Futaba radios - having previously owned one of their higher end models - but if i happen to prefer a different brand which offers features i need (which others may not) and that brand uses well accepted types of communication...

    THE first flight test of DJI A2 FC firmware upgrade V2.1

    It doesn't usually take much for DJI to have me parting with cash, but the A2 leaves me cold. My major issue is the integration of the receiver with the MC unit and the general trend for DJI pushing everyone towards s.bus/futaba. Over the last 4 years i've owned radios from all the big...

    I downloaded the latest version today but in Naza-M mode I'm not seeing these options in the RC pane.

    FEIYU Brushless Gopro3 Gimbal suit to MultiRotor/Plane FPV shoot

    Fred, I'm very interested in the new handheld version of the gimbal. Ive been working on a DIY version of my pole mounted gopro, but this is a much better solution. Do you have any plans to make the handle longeror offer a screw on extension? I plan to us it while inline skating, but ideally...

    Phantom 2 - feature request

    I've mentioned this elsewhere, but: Phantom 2 Assistant. If anyone from DJI is listening PLEASE could you reinstate the ability to change/select the receiver type. This is a function that's has always been available in the Naza Assistant, but at the moment there is no way to switch receiver...

    DJI PHANTOM 2 Launched!

    Ed, that was the first thing I tried, but the RC pane doesn't have the receiver type options. Hopefully this is just an oversight which can readily be fixed. I can understand the need to have a very basic, easy to use face for newbies, but a full functioned Naza M interface is a must for more...

    DJI PHANTOM 2 Launched!

    Ed, I use Jeti DS-16 radio equipment and have the option of either ppm or traditional connections, but not s.bus. I have no issue with futaba fasst, not not about to invest in new radio equipment. I have swapped in a new receiver, but the assistant software seems to be 'hobbled' as it will...

    DJI PHANTOM 2 Launched!

    Received my phantom 2 a couple of days ago. All good, but a MAJOR issue I have at the moment is the inability to change receiver type in the Phantom 2 Assistant. I NEED to swap the internal radio for something more robust for professional work - more specifically a jeti receiver in either...

    Phantom and H3-2D gimbal

    Phantom and H3-2D gimbal up for grabs. I built this with ALL DJI parts, as I had a spare Naza+GPS - so it's essentially a Phantom with an external GPS. The spec is: Phantom body (has my own black stickers, but will come with the red DJI sticker sheet too) Phantom control board for H3-2D -...

    I'm finalising my OPs manual at the moment, based on first read through comments from EuroUSC. I would agree that keeping it simple is the key for small/one-man set-ups. Here's one other hint. If you look at the example 'shell' OM template you'll find that there is an awful lot of duplicated...

    Radio Wars

    First off, you need to drop use of the word drone, these are sUAV small unmanned aerial vehicles. Using something that big for fpv is foolhardy to say the least. If that goes AWOL, you'll have a whole heap of worry on your hands. Like it or not there's no one-for-all solution. I have an fpv...
