    $65K drone crashed: why you should never touch your copter while it is airborne :)

    Whadda yuu expect-a, stupido? It's a Pink Panther script ... transposed to Italy, replete with a typecast Italian Macho swaggering around in his shades with monocular video downlink ... I mean, these boys have all the kit ... and then, at the first sign of trouble .... he runs away ... like...

    iOSD AV2 Not Working

    His MRF name is FerdinandK. I know he posted a video showing the two camera switching some time back. Give him a call.

    S800 EVO - landing gear help.

    Can we go back a couple of steps? I have lost track with the confusion introduced with the retract Green/Red LED and Yellow Flashes then solid Yellow..... ?? Start with listing the airframes and their respective Flight Controls. As I understand you have an S800, which has been modified over...

    iOSD AV2 Not Working

    I remember seeing a post a year or two back from a regular around here showing his dual AV switching in action. He would be a good start. Just can't remember his name offhand. Pretty sure he is a German dude, maybe his moniker is Fred...something or other? He was an early zenmuse adopter and...

    iOSD AV2 Not Working

    What a difference a single letter can make to the meaning of a whole sentence. Did you mean to write "OK, more DJI woes!"? What downlink are you using? Have I not read that the dual-camera switching only works with the DJI video downlink?

    Advice DJI Wookong M VS DJI A2 Flight controller

    My first S800/WKM suffered from the vibration thing. The manifestation was a periodic sudden loss of altitude. Fortunately it never smacked the ground but it did come within inches a couple of times. DJI subsequently announced that the existing (plastic cased) IMU was not suitable for use with...

    S800 EVO - landing gear help.

    A Pembroker! I was staying on the Delamere Ranch, Soysambu by Lake Elmenteita from October last year to a couple of weeks back - escaping winter !! I'll be back there in a few months probably. You had better PM your details so that we can stay in touch if you come across the border.

    S800 EVO - landing gear help.

    The 'Advanced Gear' Retracts failsafe option is only available with the A2 Flight Control. It has nothing to do with the airframe, i.e. the S800 or the EVO. If your S800 has a Wookong M FC and your EVO has an A2, the different FC's might explain your issue. Swapping retracts and retract...

    DJI released its brand new 3-axis gimbal stabilization system, the Zenmuse Z15-BMPCC

    Customary parallel universe answer from Ed. What do the S1000 and the S800 have to do with the Zenmuse mounting? Back to the plot ... so it appears that someone just got their balls mixed up for the photo shoot. The most interesting aspect of the Z15-BMPCC is the AV/HD option for the video...

    A2 2.2 Upgrade Guinea Pig

    Firmware upgrades are always accompanied by a new iOS app. But make sure you keep the old iOS app before upgrading so that you can go back if the new firmware is squirly.

    DJI released its brand new 3-axis gimbal stabilization system, the Zenmuse Z15-BMPCC

    Unless the marketing team screwed up assembling it for the photo shoot, I don't like the return to suspension from the silicone balls. It does not work well that way. The Z15-GH3 changed to compression and that does work, without having to resort to third-party mounting solutions to reliably...

    A2 2.2 Upgrade Guinea Pig

    I have already detailed elsewhere the faulty new A2 that was installed on an equally brand new EVO where all the CCW motors all spasm-ed. Changing just the Main Controller Unit fixed all that. Just a few subsequent flights seemed to confirm normal operation and so last week I used it on a shoot...

    DJI has released new firmware v2.2 for A2 flight controller!

    Just an observation from personal experience. Sometimes it is OK with the Anti-Spark and sometimes not. So I use the other method and the small Anti-Spark cables have been shifted across to charging - just to keep all terminals clean.

    S800 Owners - What battery config do you use??

    Unlike pretty much all the other Flight Control options, DJI actually provides a pretty comprehensive Manual (or Quick Guide) with every new software release. DJI may commit a whole swathe of sins but the effort they make with the Manual is to be applauded. However, there are one or two really...

    DJI has released new firmware v2.2 for A2 flight controller!

    Dunno if anyone told you but you are supposed to calibrate the compass in the middles of a public park - naked. Yes, wiv no clothes. This is to completely eradicate any possibility of introducing magnetic anomalies into the calibration procedure, thereby corrupting the process. I'm guessing you...

    Latest Flight testing of CARVEC Brushless Gimbal Controller & Photohigher AV200IDD

    I shall consider myself properly reprimanded. Neither. An eye for an eye really. It annoys me when someone cannot be bothered to spell-check. Anyway, apologies for unloading on you a bit there. Once you have been around here for a while you will become accustomed (and eventually irritated)...

    Latest Flight testing of CARVEC Brushless Gimbal Controller & Photohigher AV200IDD

    First of all, spell my name right. Second, why does someone just "getting started" need to carry a Red Epic? Third, have you actually tried flying with 10kg of total payload? If you have I am willing to bet that your X4 flies like a pig ... or rather, struggles like a pig ... for all of four...

    Latest Flight testing of CARVEC Brushless Gimbal Controller & Photohigher AV200IDD

    Hey Hnrysj, None. I wonder if you have ever even seen a Red Epic? If that isn't just a plain idiotic question it must be rhetorical, since none of your listed machines is capable of lifting a 6kg camera payload in addition to the LiPo's and camera mount - bringing the total payload to around...
