    Latest Flight testing of CARVEC Brushless Gimbal Controller & Photohigher AV200IDD

    I fail to see either the point or the attraction of the AV200 brushless conversion. The whole point of brushless motors is direct drive of the axis and the consequent speed of reaction, so to have any form of mechanical gearing between the motor and the axis would seem to largely cancel the...

    DJI S1000 Owners Thread - Mini Build Log

    Nope. It is a very rudimentary affair that requires endless patience precisely because there is no 'intelligent' logging of flights only and no way to identify them bar a relatively meaningless log number. One would have thought that with access to satellites it might also be able access the...

    DJI S1000 Owners Thread - Mini Build Log

    A new log starts with each Power On so, unless you keep clearing the log, they multiply rapidly. Consequently, identifying individual flights is not really feasible - except the last one when it crashes.

    DJI Zenmuse GH3 gimbal - new firmware wanted!

    Me neither when I am flying and filming and under those conditions I did not know of the problem. It was when I used it as a handheld - just carrying the whole EVO - that this Pan issue showed up when rotating the airframe by more than 90° in Manual and FPV modes. The Z15 jerked and graunched...

    DJI Zenmuse GH3 gimbal - new firmware wanted!

    Does the update also address the Pan issue, whereby it stutters and farts after a 100° turn in FPV and Manual modes?

    Colour grading with a BMPCC

    Appreciate the responses, gents. A bit more reading and general poking about revealed the 'LUT'. The Look Up Table. This works effectively as preset to instantly correct the image, lifting out the colour and applying contrast. Unimpressed. The GH3 image looks great - without all this tiresome...

    Colour grading with a BMPCC

    I have a brand new Blackmagic Pocket that has been sitting in its box for about six months now. Recently I have had time to charge the battery and get its firmware updated etc. and try it out. I can sling a video clip together like everyone else but certainly make no claims to being an editor...

    New DJI Ronin Gimbal 16lb capacity

    Let's hope that those who jump in with crossed fingers that all will be wonderful will also write of their experiences. I would not trust this item at all yet - particularly as it isn't even working right in the video. DJI say it is based on Zenmuse technology. This is already sufficient to...

    AerialMediaPros.com Roll position off on Zenmuse Z15 gimbal "FIX"

    Unfortunately it all depends upon the vintage of your Z15. The large screw in picture 1 that goes right through the Roll shaft does not have to be touched. Instead, the motor shaft is rotated relative to the Tilt/Roll tray by loosening the two small, semi-concealed grub screws at the rear. But...

    Product Review ** DJI 1552 Folding Propeller

    Thanks for this report. I too put up with the slight deficiencies of the 1552's over the T-Motors' for the easier transport. I have similar misgivings over the Bi-Pod anti-vibration damper kit. It certainly isolates the Bi-Pod - and gimbal - from frame vibes, but at the expense of structural...

    A2 Cinewing 6HL Second Flight Compass won't calibrate?

    What facilities within the Assistant for error messages are you referring to, Ed? I have found that the A2 is pretty moody when it comes to calibrating the compass and often have to do it several times before it gives the OK. There is nothing in the Assistant that I have noticed other than...

    Lost GPS Puck Mid-Flight

    Although it is against the policy of many I build airframes to dismantle, because sooner or later they all have to be dismantled to some degree and it is just a pain when everything is glued and taped down in inaccessible places. So I use a lot of velcro and double sided foam tape or gel. BUT...

    Zenmuse GH3 Roll Level Issue

    Zen-GH3 Roll axis is easy-peasy to correct. Loosen the two hex screws on the rear roll motor shaft clamp and rotate the Roll/Tilt tray in the required direction. Do it with the Zen unpowered in very, very, VERY small steps. Use a fine tipped marker to make a small reference mark on the roll...

    Commercial flights deemed legal... Trappy won!

    They may well be but they didn't ask me if they could use my photos of my helicopter and my AD-8 from my website. If they want to offer me free, all-inclusive, worldwide insurance cover for two years I'll think about it.

    Well that was a lot of fun. Can't help being reminded though of the 120mph biker who posted his exploits and then got busted.

    Very super. But I wonder if you understand the forum concept of threads and relevancy to those threads? Aside from your post being in the wrong place, your 'perfect case' offers no shock protection whatsoever to the 550 inside, being crushed up against the inside walls with no foam padding at...

    DJI A2 Official Users' Thread

    Adjusting the physical Roll Axis centre is a breeze - easier than the later releases of the Z15-G, which have indents on the Roll motor shaft for the set screws that are themselves inside an enclosure allowing only one to be visible at a time. With the Z-GH3 you loosen the two bolts on the clamp...
