We Brits love the Americans for all sorts of reasons..... Yes but us older Brits also suffer from 'Metrication Fatigue' - we live in a world where everything has to be mentally converted to understand it in real quantitative terms. Then we have the the perverse situation where fuel and food...

Bengit I only 5 have but as the upgrade to 50 is only another £260 I may invest but at this moment think that manual flight is actually easier with 7" screen mounted above TX means I can both see the camera object and the bird in flight. However, for more sophisticated and repeatable shots I...

If you add another battery it would have to be a 2s but a personally I would use a UBEC to save weight. The draw on the battery is not significant so will have little impact on the flight time. The support page shows the instructions how to build and directs you to a wiring diagram:-

Which Gimbal do you have? The VTR-GP needs a 6v supply - http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/__17158__6V_3A_UBEC_2_5S_Lipoly_6_23v_.html The Brusless one needs 7.4v - http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/__31593__7_2V_2_5A_UBEC_2_5S_Lipoly_6_23v_UK_warehouse_.html I have both and use...

They treat customers as unpaid Beta testers, don't pay for damages caused by their failure and they now have the audacity to want to steal your copyright. If they wanted my copyright they could always approach me directly and negotiate a reasonable price. No they want to take thousands of...

I didn't answer your WKM queation... You can alter height and speed either all together or individually.

Thanks, the Ground Station is not exactly intuitive and I had to read through the manual several times before I was happy to set the quad away.... hens the comment about being a 'leap of faith...'. I can tell you with several thousand pounds of equipment about to be launched into oblivion I was...

I have just seen Rob now has the gimbal configured specificity for the Phantom. As I also fly one of those I could be very tempted with that too.... Now I understand how this one works and am happy with the fiddling under the bonnet...

Welcome to the forum... You may have just entered the game at the right time - DJI are updating their fleet. The S800 Evo is a face lift of the old one and they are releasing their new flight controllers once stocks of the old ones dwindle. Mind now may be the time to buy as most will begin...

Spot the difference:- Answer: Government.... No they are both drones just ours are legal and yours are not! Hobbyist..... The bottom one I bought for my 9 year old at Christmas the top one was too expensive....:dejection:

Bengit.... Can't you see the video on the screen? This is what I see: You can visit the page on Vimeo too:- https://vimeo.com/helicanltd

I can just see another round of adverse publicity for the sport and legitimate businesses using 'DRONES'....... The JFK thing was used by US authorities to help justify their banning if AV RC Aircraft.

I read today about a couple of idiots in Germany who have been arrested for, apparently, planning to use RC planes packed with explosives in a terror attack (http://www.suasnews.com/2013/06/23525/germany-remote-control-model-plane-attack-foiled/) Now we will all become terrorist suspects when...

Finally got the Video sorted. Sorry about the sound but wanted to leave some there so you can hear the motors.... unfortunately you get to hear the high pitch from the motors.

One thing I did notice is that the gimbal kept tilting to the left in fligh. The only thing I could think was that the weight of the lead was bouncing off the end so I cable tied it to the gimbal frame and then to the middle. That solved it. Does anyone know where you can get a USB power and...

Bengit, I think that is the only way to focus it. I have had a play and today got some proper flight time. The focus is better having had a play last night. I have a friend with a 60" TV so will go and see if I can get it clearer still on his. The problem is that my TV is only 30" and it is...

The 60 degree lens I got was from http://www.pimp-your-kopter.de Here is their comparison of the standard GoPro lens and the 60 degree lens at different settings - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q-qFm4x5VyU However, having tried it today I need to re-focus it because the images are not very...

I know it is expensive to do but if you have a hard landing or crash it is always wise to replace the motors. They run at so fast that the tiniest bit of damage or pushing out of true is amplified when the rpm goes up under load, this has two results - Massive vibration and a massive amperage...

We'll done. I know how frustrating it is..... Been there. If the wind keeps off for a while today I will be testing my New setups - gimbal, 60 degree lens, GoPro 3 Black, UV filter, CF blades and DJI Ground Station now I have 5 waypoints... Need to charge lipos in the field too so will see if...

If you got the error when uploading the new code then it didn't upload because you weren't connected. If you then used the GUI from _77 it will not work because you are trying to apply changes to v_48 or v_61 depending which version it arrived with. Do what Bengit says and start again...
