    Impressions after first shoot with S800 and Z15 w/ NEX5n

    You're welcome! See... Thats where I was at and as you know I've been in it FAR less time than you. I want somethin that works now. If you wait for the ideal you'll wait forever because there's always something better. I'll use this until a zen is out that handles DSLRs, then I'll upgrade, but...

    Impressions after first shoot with S800 and Z15 w/ NEX5n

    Yup... Turns out it was sensor dust... I always check the lens. Luckily it'll be easy to paint out. Wasn't too happy when i saw that. Should have checked on a white card. Live and learn.

    Impressions after first shoot with S800 and Z15 w/ NEX5n

    I just showed them sample footage and they were okay with it both times. I'm doing lower end shoots anyway... But as soon as DJI has a Zenmuse/Heli combo for an SLR I'm sold to avoid that exact issue.

    Zenmuse to S800 connection

    Would love to know what your mixing solution is if you are willing to share .. Though I'm not sure I understand your statement. Are you saying you have a mix so that the camera direction influences the model direction? Or that you just leave it in "FPV" mode?

    Thanks... Makes sense after looking at it more critically. I'll try and grow a pair for some different lenses soon.

    Just a couple minutes of B-roll from a shoot this week with the S800 and Z15 (for those that missed this in the other thread I started). Not a coherent piece just some shots that are "seconds" from a larger production. No post stabilization, just some shoddy color grading. Second shot was thrown...

    Thanks guys. Just the beginning of my cliff shooting this summer.... heheh... can't wait to shoot what I have in my head. Yeah... I just don't want to touch the balance yet. I want the damn thing to work perfect for a while before I go and screw it up and have to deal with the headaches again...

    Can only be viewed as embed on the forum not on vimeo ATM. I'll just password it when I get home in a bit.

    Impressions after first shoot with S800 and Z15 w/ NEX5n

    After doing a couple of shoots this week with my S800 and Z15 setup for solo operation... here's a couple of things I noticed that I think either should be added or fixed: 1: Pan stop The end of a pan seems to have a jarring stop, even with a good bit of expo on my rudder stick. Do I just need...

    DJI S800 Product Bulletin - ESC too high temperature

    Replacements. And I flew my packs down way too far... 97% which was 3.3v/cell loaded. Now I'm calibrated and can go by time not voltage.

    DJI S800 Product Bulletin - ESC too high temperature

    Just did my first flights with the Zenmuse on my S800. So impressive. Did a battery time test and got 13:48 out of two Zippy 5000 mAh down to first level protection which I have at 19.8V (3.3V/cell) with the gimbal and camera and video transmitter all running. Not too shabby. Motors and ESC's...

    Clockwise/Counterclockwise???? S800 manual confusion

    X is definitely Clock-Wise. O is Counter. ... which is counter intuitive, but that's definitely the correct way. (just flew mine and double checked ;-) Someone needs to let DJI know that screw up... that drawing is incorrect.

    DJI S800 Product Bulletin - ESC too high temperature

    Wow. Nice to know that one! Curious to know what it was. Glad you made it home okay. I just flew a pack in 20+ gusts 95 degree weather and the motors and ESC's were hot but I could touch them for a long time before it was too hot to handle. Really impressed with the wind handling of this...

    Sony Nex-5n - downlink

    i had both, they are the same. Sorry, haven't tried the 1080i without power as I sold that rig.

    Sony Nex-5n - downlink

    Someone (edit: in the post right above yours) reported that it self powers through the hdmi port... I never tried it. So the USB/power may be optional. I had mine powered from a small pack that the rest of the vid TX was powered from just in case.

    S800 ESC repair turn-around time

    From what Colin told me they were shipping the ESCs back as soon as they were done instead of waiting for the trays to put in with them.

    S800 ESC repair turn-around time

    Yes, Colin and whoever else is handling stuff in TX is on the ball. Hope that spreads to China. I need my battery tray =]
