    "you buy these monocular for video entertainment ?" Not sure if that's meant to be funny, but where did I say I bought them for video entertainment? My point was merely that during testing they've not been used "in the field", only indoors. "If it's an eyesight problem, you can buy the Rx...

    Photohigher skyline rsgs

    Photo Higher OM, From the various forum posts on this topic we've been able to ascertain that: a) we should use firmware 1.1.3 b) we should power the skyline directly from a BEC, at 5 or 6V c) we can't use pan and that there are only limited functions in the software at the moment. Could you...

    I have a pair of these, the original full spec ones, for sale. They have never been used outside of my living room - they work perfectly and as advertised, but I can't get on with them due to my eyesight and spectacle requirements. Anybody care to make me an offer?

    Photohigher skyline rsgs

    "I don’t think there are any major problems I just think we need to make sure people are setting them up correctly. We are continuously testing them here and we are trying our best to isolate any bugs etc. Hopefully a couple of on line videos will help." I think most people would be happy, at...

    Photohigher RSGS Skyline Owners thread

    I too have found several frustrations in trying to get it set up and I still haven't got it working at all reliably. As others have said, it changes position rapidly when going from connected in powered on mode (green light) to powered off but connected (blue light) - it goes to maximum...

    Flexacopter ---The Making Of---

    Holco, to get the best answers I think you need to define the purpose in more detail. For example, what do you need from the GPS navigation functions? I ask because if you just need GPS for position hold (rather than for waypoint-ed operations or keyboard/joystick driven flying, etc etc) then...

    Scary second level protection throttle cut

    It works perfectly for me. Once the yellow LED starts flashing I have a minimum of 60 seconds and a maximum of about 90 before red. This gives me a reasonable time to fly home and land. If it does start flashing red it will still hover, with an increasing amount of throttle, for about 30...

    Power supply for mega chargers

    What size packs? As an example, take a 5S 5000maH pack. At 4C that's 20Amps and 420W per pack, so you're not going to be charging 6 of them at once with a 1000W charger. Charging six 5S packs your maximum charging current per pack is under 8Amps. With the 306B (a great charger in my...

    DJI WKM does not switch back from Fail-Safe

    Just to confirm, it is as sharonx says. It's completely reliable in my experience.

    Commercial aerial photography in UK

    Ross, far be it from me to let the facts get in the way of your strongly held beliefs, but the EuroUSC examination is not £1,500. The ground/theory examination is £350 and the flight test is £350 too, for a total of £700. It might still be too much, but it's really quite a lot less than...

    FLexacopter

    Of all the factors that might impact on video quality, the copter frame is probably the least of them.

    FLexacopter

    Holco, the guy behind the flexacopter has published dozens of videos. The quality of the frame is excellent.

    FLexacopter

    Yes, the vibration isolation is excellent. I've not tried a Cinestar, but I am not sure how it could be much better than the Flexacopter. There isn't much space to install a DJI WKM setup, but it can be done if not terribly neatly, which is probably my only criticism.

    I have one. What do you want to know? I like the ease with which it disassembles for travel.

    Problem with F450 ascending all of a sudden

    If you're using WKM it sounds like it's going in to failsafe mode and climbing before flying home. Does the LED flash blue during the ascent?

    EuroUSC BNUC-S Advice needed!!

    Best thing to do is hook up to the assistant and see which modes it is in with the switches in various positions. The point is it's easier to go in to AND get out of failsafe mode (assuming your transmitter is setup correctly) and that RTH works really well. Have some faith and give it a go...

    EuroUSC BNUC-S Advice needed!!

    To be honest, to my mind if you're that nervous about using the failsafe Return to Home feature it doesn't bode very well for putting much faith in the machine as a whole. What I'd suggest is this: 1) Check that activation of the failsafe mode works properly by flicking a switch on your...

    F450 +Naza Newbie Help Please - having problems with 1st flight - really unstable!

    I've no idea about your local flying clubs but I'm in central London (though not this weekend), and I have a Naza and a WKM, so if you want to hop on the Express I could meet you somewhere and try it out with you.

    F450 +Naza Newbie Help Please - having problems with 1st flight - really unstable!

    Whereabouts in the UK are you? Sounds to me like what you really need is someone who has flown a Naza or Wookong M before. 9 (or more) times out of 10 these problems are a function of someone getting the output channels/props/wiring/orientation mixed up, but it sounds like you've checked that...
