    New and need some help already!!!

    As SMP pointed out it looks like a balance issue. The NAZA-M will compensate to an extent but in the very limited space you have there, there is no room for it to react. Also without GPS it can't hold position in any case. What you will get is altitude (Atti) hold and stabalisation...

    A couple of pointer for mounting the arms in the swivels.... Make sure you can access the hex heads from the sides of the craft. Do not position them so you have to access them from the rear. The screw I am referring to is the one that holds the boom end and allows the arms to swivel. If you...

    DIY camera mount on skids of S800...

    An AV downlink would be a great advantage to a screen so you can frame shots from the ground and a remote shutter release. Without the AV downlink the shots will be guess work and more flights to get the shots. A remote shutter release would allow you to take the shots you want/need without...

    At more than double the cost of my NEX-7, Without lenses, I am not surprised but many do take that risk. I haven't dared to throw mine into the air and still use the GoPro with an AeroXcraft brushless gimbal. The biggest advantage with the GoPro is it's inability to zoom or fix removable...

    If you are looking for stable shooting with anything heavier than a GoPro you should go down the line of a servo gimbal. The issue with all the brushless gimbals is balance. If you have a NEX-5, NEX-6 or NEX-7 (or Heven forbid a brick of a Cannon 5 etc) you will find they are all excellent but...

    I think he meant 600mw - although in the UK it is illegal to transmit at 600mw unless you have paid for a licence from OffCom yet they are available for purchase here. The maximum you are allowed in the UK without a licence is 25mw, which I use with clover leave antenna and get a good signal...

    I just realised I must have had a blonde moment and quoted figures: This is wrong but the principle is the same: i.e. 3s = 8,880 rpm and 4s = 11,840 rpm

    I am no authority on the SuperX but can advise that if you use the WKM you are advised to use a minimum 4S - it will work with 3s (I have tried it because like you had a load of 5000ma 3s when I dumped the f550. I would also advise the 4s any way because the 800kv motors will be running slower...

    General Camera mount theory (open discussion)

    AeroXcraft in the UK have achieved balance and reliability with their VTR gimbals specificly built for the GoPro and the NEX5N. They are full ball-raced and belt driven from servos and can be stabilised by either the AC controller or HoverFly Gombal controller. I can vouch for the VTR-GP GoPro...

    Read my earlier posts using 8000mah Zippy Lipos Those times still stand and am seriously considering 10000Mah as there is still 400g spare payload with my setup at 2.6kg. I am also looking at hanging my Sony NEX7 under the frame but that will add significant weight to the take off weight. The...

    Most of us invested before the SuperX was released and for serious use the WKM was the one out there we chose. However, the reviews I have read rave about the SuperX are good, but until it has been out and in use for at least a year I will sit and watch with my old steam powered WKM. After all...

    Having never received a template this may be my problem.... I have given up for 6 months trying having done my ground school in March. Did they e-mail it to you or give you a link to download it?

    Because Andre tells everyone on the course to keep their Ops Manuals secret and are copyright no one will share even the bare bones..... I suspect it is just part of the process to try and keep the emerging industry mysterious and bound to the few who can afford corporate set-ups or are already...

    I note you dismiss the power lines but for safety reasons I would never fly near them. Not of fear of hitting them but the RF interference: they can emit a fierce white noise in all RF frequencies when close that is amplified and should there be a faulty or corroding connection causing sparking...

    If you have a look at their promotional video it is mounted on a XAircraft X650 Pro and it is mounted level with the top plate about 5 inches behind the IMU.... http://www.xaircraft.com/en/Products/FlightController/superx/

    Why have you got the GPS Puck so high? If it is too high the slightest movement is exaggerated at the end of the pole.... Have you tried it mounted down nearer the COG?

    What multi for professional work?

    Just to put a spanner into everyone's works I have been doing a little looking about and came up with this the 8XY Sky-Hero Spyder - http://www.sky-hero.com/Sky-Hero_Spyder.html The bigest advantage of an 8 is the redundancy the biggest failing is the size and storage or transportation. This...

    GoPro wireless option linked to NAZA flyaways

    Until someone with the knowledge, resources and time to do some proper research on this issue I think that DJI's advice and everyone elses here is to make sure the wifi is off on your gopro and your mobile if anywhere near your TX or machine. Come on some Uni must be able to pick this up and do...
