    S800 Retracts problem

    Although this has been mentioned in the 'Rant' thread I want to cast the net again in my search for a solution, since the dïckjerks at DJI are prevaricating and wasting time over pennies. The issue is that, although they apparently worked normally when first installed (a few weeks ago) since...

    Yes. The same behaviour.

    The DJI rant thread

    I was so hoping to never have to return to this thread but one thing I will say about DJI is, they are consistent! I wrote explaining that the new retracts are acting up, that they work on the ground but not in the air. They duly responded asking for a video, because perhaps the board is faulty...

    Wookong IMU V2

    The cable comes out of the front of the IMU.

    Well he flew it out of sight, ran down the street in a panic and eventually turned off his transmitter which activated the Go Home on the Phantom. Of course all this 'turning off the transmitter' business is now apparently accepted as a valid 'control procedure' when you have been a ****head...

    He has bottled out and removed the post. He has probably removed the You Tube video evidence as well. But if you want to see something similar the skies are full of bloody idiots:

    Show what you filmed - Post Your Video Here

    So fortunate that DJI thought about tits like you. What was the point of the exercise anyway? To see just how crappy a video you could make with the crappy GoPro. What a wanker. You are a prime example of the stupid, reckless, irresponsible jerks that are frequently mentioned in news reports...

    Squashing a GH3 into the GH2 Zenmuse with a Secraft conversion - will it balance?

    Have you tried the 14-42 compact power zoom lens? I wonder if it is heavy enough to bring the gimbal back in balance. Apart from the lens weight/balance issue, I do not like the fact that the GH3 has to sit with its lens off-centre to the centre of rotation of the Roll axis. The GH2 lens sits...

    Squashing a GH3 into the GH2 Zenmuse with a Secraft conversion - will it balance?

    Is the standard 14mm pancake too light? Does it need the 14-42 power zoom for tilt balance?

    Squashing a GH3 into the GH2 Zenmuse with a Secraft conversion - will it balance?

    Like an idiot I went and sold my spare GH2 before the GH3 arrived. I have had the Secraft GH3 conversion kit sitting around for a while whilst I ummed and ahhed over whether to bother with the GH3 at all. There are only two reasons why I ordered the GH3: the ridiculous HDMI issue on the GH2 and...

    LED controller, jdrones ioBoard hack

    I scrolled through Bart's long list of code thinking "Jeez, I cannot think of anything I am less interested in than buggering around with computer language" and then I came to your post. It made me smile. It's a jolly good job some folks like to work out code n' stuff, but it ain't for me...

    CS8 to X8 conversion - Herkules ESC III V3

    One of the issues I had with the Secraft v3 retracts was that they did not retract quite enough (on the S800). They needed to go up another inch because the skids were still visible to the GH2/14mm when level and panned to the side. Perhaps you will not have this issue because the camera is...

    Panasonic GH2 general and hack info base

    Unless the GH2 is set to record at 24 fps the act of connecting an HDMI cable will automatically switch the video record setting to a default 1080i50 if it is set to PAL or 1080i60 for NTSC. So the answer to your question regarding getting video output via the Z15 is, Yes.

    CS8 to X8 conversion - Herkules ESC III V3

    I wonder how many RED cameras have been smashed up to date?

    Aeronavics / Droidworx DroidWorx Show Reels / Production Videos

    Come on Dave, be honest. That 'glimse of what looked like an SJ8' was a shadow. Very unprofessional to let the shadow come into frame. But then it fitted the general standard of production. 4/10 for the video I'm afraid.

    ... which is fine as long as you wish to conform to the 25 fps PAL standard. Are you Europe based? If you need to shoot 30 fps in order to conform to the US NTSC TV standard you will have to put up with the associated vagaries. On a recent USA shoot the GH2 displayed all sorts of unusual...

    CS8 to X8 conversion - Herkules ESC III V3

    I am liking the assembly Boris. Nice and clean with none that horrible ugly mess of wires, insulating tape and tie-wraps with ESC's hanging off every boom that many seem to be satisfied with. I am curious how those twin-spring mount dampers will fare. The Longitudinal (X) Roll axis is well...

    DJI S800 retracts don't function after IMUv2 upgrade ... WHAT ??

    I have precisely the same request from DJI. I'll get around to it sometime.

    DJI S800 retracts don't function after IMUv2 upgrade ... WHAT ??

    ... unless the firmware 5.22 update has a bug that affects power supply. After all, they managed it pretty convincingly with the GPS/FlipOfDeath saga. The thing is, nothing is different to before, except that the IMU has been replaced with the Version 2 - plus the 5.22 FW update to enable the...

    DJI S800 retracts don't function after IMUv2 upgrade ... WHAT ??

    AT the risk of double posting I decided to start a new thread on this because a) it might get seen by those who do not follow the IMUv2 thread and b) I want to find a quick solution to this rather baffling issue. First off the rig: S800/WKM w/ IMUv2/Z15G/DJI retracts/iOSD/bluetooth LED...
