    Signal Fade Within 30 feet......

    It is only the transmitter which stands to suffer if there is no antenna attached. If the receiver has no antenna you just get poor reception. That said, it is the receiver antenna that is the most important element when it comes to sensitivity, range and quality of video reception. It is more...

    DJI Wookong-M Firmware v5.26

    Let's hope they bring out just one more FW release that makes it work properly before they abandon it.

    WARNING - Firmware 5.24

    We know that GPS Hold works, the question is whether or not it drops in and out of GPS and Atti if flown with the switch in GPS position? This is what I have understood from Droider's original point and which several others have corroborated, that flying with the GPS switch ON, results in the...

    CS8 to X8 conversion - Herkules ESC III V3

    Thanks for that. I will hot foot over to your site and get legal. Shame that the motor direction change is not so simple. Plenty of room for error when the wires are all black!

    CS8 to X8 conversion - Herkules ESC III V3

    How do you configure the custom motor mixer? The table that becomes enabled has a row of the four controls for each motor but where does one start with entering values? Ah-Ha! Just found this ... Well that seems to make sense, and so simple (!!!), because instead of rewiring the...

    CS8 to X8 conversion - Herkules ESC III V3

    I am trying out an assembled, custom made X8 that is already fitted with the two Hercules III boards and a Wookong FC. I do not like the standard DJI X8 Motor Mixer, with all the top motors CW and all the bottom motors CCW. There is very little provision for failures with this configuration and...

    Beware Wookong-M fantastic deal with 50 waypoints!

    The more expensive of the two 50 Waypoint bundles included iOSD, BT led, Datalink 900 + WKM at around €1150. As a WKM is given away with every bundle, including the S800 EVO/WKM bundle which is the same price as the EVO alone, it can be assumed to be worthless. That leaves the iOSD, BT led and...

    Caught on camera, multirotor crashes into crowd at Great Bull Run

    Is this the rebirth of Flower Power? Scott McKenzie and John Phillips will be millionaires all over again (San Francisco (Be Sure to Wear Flowers in Your Hair)). Great video. "Drone Dudes" ?!! Maybe we are going back even earlier than Flower Power and the Beach Boys will get the new money...

    Anyone buy a PC laptop lately?

    "... Horses for courses even ..." Gee Whiz Dave. Is all that a Lancashire dialect or do you just ignore the spell checker? My first computer was a used Mac Powerbook 1400. At the time I was not even aware that there were two camps. "PC" meant Personal Computer to me, so what was a Mac if it...

    Beware Wookong-M fantastic deal with 50 waypoints!

    Oh Boy! That is going to leave all those who jumped on the 'amazing deal' feeling stupid. Probably feeling even more stupid when they realise that the whole Waypoint Flight thing is just a fancy sounding, hyped up, irrelevant carrot for most folks. Unless you are the Forestry Commission, who...

    Beware Wookong-M fantastic deal with 50 waypoints!

    For the benefit of those unaware, Colin Guinn first came to our collective attention with the announcement of the Cineron Stabilisation System. It turned out to be something very closely related to a Zenmuse on a single rotor heli. At that time Colin Guinn, with Brad King on camera, operated...

    Anyone buy a PC laptop lately?

    I have one small ASUS piece of crap that was bought to take into the field for parameter changing instead of my 17" Macbook Pro. But, the Macbook Pro and two iMacs ALL have Parallels with Windoze XP and I use them in preference when setting up or configuring with MK Tool, Picloc Toolz, CARVEC...

    Beware Wookong-M fantastic deal with 50 waypoints!

    Arhggggh .. gag ... wretch ... puke ... more wretching J. H. Christalbloodymighty that is so gut-wrenchingly awful. What a total dipstick of a presenter. Absolutely everything is 'fantastic' and 'phenomenal' - with a completely flat, dead pan and disconnected expression. When he starts talking...

    Christ that MR looks a bloody mess. Could you not tidy up some of those wires?

    MōVI shipping

    I was unaware that the Defy products are actually available to buy because the front page of their website just shows the Defy G5 is available to pre-order, with no other links. It says nothing about available now. But, if it is actually out on the streets then good for them. They have beaten...

    MōVI shipping

    That's what I reckon. Not only did Freefly alert the competition by firing the starting gun at the NAB, but they may well have done so before the gun was raised and shot themselves in the foot with a premature announcement. But if shipping has been delayed by technical problems then Freefly is...
