I posted this thread earlier today and then I realized I had brought this topic up here before, so I'm kind of reposting again, Sorry about this. I know we kind of touched on this, but not sure if I specifically asked. Does anyone know if it is ok to put something like the Sony NEX-5 on the DJI...

Does anyone know if it is ok to put something like the Sony NEX-5 on the DJI F550 Naza+GPS. I'm thinking of getting the Aeroxcraft camera gimbal and landing gear so I can haul the NEX-5. Is this camera too big for the F550 or would it haul it? I know Aeroxcraft makes a gimbal for the GoPro, but...

@FlyingMachineGuy, I fly in all modes. I take off in manual and then switch to Atti for flying, then at times I'll Loiter by hitting GPS. The craft does not drift in Manual if I leave it level, and it works great in GPS hold, (holds perfect). Sometimes I let it fly back in return to home and...

Bingo! I feel the same way, I like to take off and land in manual, sometimes I even like to fly in Manual so I can make dives, therefore adding trim would make manual a pain in the butt. How did you fix it? If I remember calibration worked for you. I really wish I could figure out why...

@FlyingMachinesGuy, I'll try the Trim or Sub Trim idea, I'll also let you guys know what DJI says. I agree it's not that bad, I'm just puzzled that the IMU calibration is not stopping, adjusting or reversing the drift. It seems as though the calibration makes no effect at all. Perhaps I could...

OK, what you say makes perfect sense. However I have to ask, why would DJI include IMU calibration if we are supposed to add trim to correct for drift, shouldn't the IMU correct the drift? One of the Email I got from DJI said to return to the dealer for replacement if the drift continues. I...

CG is dead on. I check before each flight, and no matter what I do to the calibration or what angle I calibrate at it continues to drift to the right. I'm skeptical about adding trim, because it may be interpreted as a slow roll. Anyways, shouldn't the adding the envelope under the right side...

I just uploaded two new videos that I have sent to DJI, I hope this will help them understand what the problem is and so this will influence the dealer. The dealer here in Canada would want to send the unit to their distributer in the States and not to DJI. So I'm hoping that the Emails from DJI...

On Tuesday the winds were low here in Ottawa, so I went to Gatineau Park for some flying fun over the autumn leaves. Enjoy the vids and subscribe. If you would like to subscribe I'll certainly return the favour.

Here's my latest video I did last weekend at a near by cricket field. I got the attention of a retired helicopter engineer. Same back moments before at a higher altitude.

Thanks for the help. This has been driving me crazy.

Ok, so I added a little more lift the right side and the problem is still there. I'm including a video of the last calibration and a video of the result. Calibration: Result:

Ok, here's the first video of how I calibrated the IMU. I cut the video a little short but I finished by unplugging the batter, turning off the transmitter and then unplugging the USB. Not sure if I missed something. Here is the second video of my setting up for IMU calibration. In this...

for that kind of money I'd rather get the s800

I'm putting together a quick vid now, should be up soon.

I might get the SimonK, noticed that NextLevel now offers SimonK Flashed ESCs. I won't be getting the Castel Creations as that will cost over $600. just for ESCs Ourch.

Is there a real advantage to using the SimonK ESCs on the Naza? Or is the Opto just as fast?

I just reinstalled the the firmware. I uninstalled the Assistant and reinstalled it fresh. Then I plugged the model into the USB and went to TOOLS and hit upgrade. I had to do it a couple of times for it to take. It tells you adjust all the settings again, but I don't think I'll do that as I'm...

Sorry Klonner, not sure I understand can you rephrase that?

Ok, this is good to know. @Skipper1 you said +/- .1, I usually get +/1 .3 as you can see in the video. @Kloner, I've reflashed the firmware, so I'll try the IMU calibration again and hopefully this will work this time. I'll try what you said and look for the numbers to change. @Skipper1, so you...
