After eons of waiting I have now received the S800 anti-vibe damper kit. I can see it being of real benefit for the camera mount but I am in two minds as to whether to mount the IMU.v2 on the supplied tray. The previous height loss problem with the IMU.v1 appears to have been eradicated with...

It is nothing to do with opinions. If you want to use the Bluetooth LED you must upgrade firmware to a minimum of 5.20. However, the IMU.v2 will function normally with FW 5.16 if you don't want or use the Bluetooth LED.

Ridiculous isn't it! And they can hardly trumpet 'Safety and Security' either because for that they need to target the Mile-High YouTuber Phantom A-Hole type, not the conscientious and already responsible semi-pro's looking to step up a level. Steering ... or rather, sharply veering ... back...

That rules out DJI flight control then.

What an excellent idea. ALL Phantoms should be pre-programmed to get lost. Then all the idjits can get bored and move onto something else, the authorities will lose interest in over regulation through lack of idjit incidents and maybe DJI can get back to concentrating on supporting the real...

It never ceases to amaze me how RED owners seem to have not only plenty of cash but also some sort of kamikaze death wish for their expensive box.

What would make the monitor with built-in receiver more attractive is if it had a more common range of spot frequencies within the 5.gGHz band. The eight frequencies available do not match much else which means matching transmitters have to be purchased as well. I have six airframes, each with...

Still waiting for definitive in flight results because I have been distracted by an intermittent retracts issue. However, first flight showed some vibration getting through to the GH3. Another day spent on re-checking balance but will now wait for the vibration absorber kit for the bi-pod...

Well I have installed the Secraft GH3 conversion kit. To my mind it is typical Secraft. A beautifully engineered poor design. • A seemingly insignificant but annoying omission is the cable channel bottom rear to tidily and safely route the delicate HDMI cable. • The biggest sin is the base...

Nice!

Well done for bringing us that report in such miserable weather conditions! Well, true to my record for buying faulty gear, it seems like I have bought the 'lemon' retracts. They are still the same - they work on the ground but not in the air. It is a mystery. DJI have stopped responding to...

What about the amount of travel during calibration? The legs on mind move no more than half an inch. Is this standard or are the legs supposed to travel to their end stops during the calibration procedure?

Well that is something to bear in mind. It would mean replacing the separate BEC and remote switch to apply power in the air as I had before on the Secrafts to avoid any possibility of the retracts operating on the ground when the LiPo's are connected (which the Secrafts did now and then!)...

.... and spend more money to fix a brand new thing that doesn't work. It's never ending :dejection:

Absolutely and precisely word-for-word what happened with mine when they went sour !! So DJ(erks)I, what do you say to THAT now? I'm not the only one. A bad batch of boards maybe? I know, why don't you issue a version 2 and charge us a discounted $300 for it?

HELLO? S800 RETRACTS OWNERS? WHERE ARE YOU? Do me a favour please and check to see if the green LED turns red for a couple of seconds when the legs are going up.

Er, excuse me? ... Quadrocopter ? Quadrocopter IS MK-USA. I forget the name of the software geek ... sorry .. 'engineer' that was originally involved on the European open source project that evolved into MikroKopter when they decided to commercialise their efforts, but he (could it be...

I am really not so sure about that. On a good day the retracts will inexplicably ... work ... once or twice. Therafter they will judder and jerk to nearly half way before snapping down and requiring recalibration. On a normal day they work on the ground and not at all in the air - regardless of...

Who else has received the email from DJI inviting us to enter their latest Film Competition. I replied to the email: "Are you joking? I am professional helicam operator with a stable of different single-rotor and multi-rotor aerial camera platforms and last December I purchased your so-called...

Well I agree. Just like the majority of S800 suckers I do not like it, I do not trust it, and it has one damn problem after another - airframe and WKM. Produces excellent video with the Zenmuse though, but I just don't trust the bloody thing. On the other hand, my Droidworx AD-8 HLE with MK...
