It's sad reading but I trust my own S800 as do many others. If there are any issues left I think it is in the ESC's'/distribution board. My theory is that the Flip of death is the result of a motor loosing phase sync. and stalling. then the nearest motors instantly try to correct the tilt which...

That seems to me to be a full admission that you have run out of backhanded stabs at the product that you would like but cant afford. Or is it that you just want to ponce information that took DJI a lot of time and money to develop. Out of respect for those who have bought the product why should...

This all sounds like a recipe for another disaster...... After you have made ten prototypes you will then give up. Your ARRI Alexa will never leave the ground let alone earn any money. Going from a button pusher to a DOP is light years away. I bet you have not even considered how all of that...

... and it's exactly this which, to my mind, excludes it from the category of "pro gear". It's like the "idiot modes" on a camera - that kind of hand-holding by the manufacturer clearly indicates the target market. If one were to make this gimbal fully adjustable so that it would fit a...

Nick that sums it up very nicely A few years ago when I was shooting vertical mapping stuff from my old Wilga I was using a very dated 9x9 camera. Someone from the Environment agency called me and said that an inspector was going to check my aircraft in a few days to see if I was using FMC...

Stacky I think this horizon issue is a bit of sour grapes, If I were making commercial camera mounts I would be knocked sideways by the level of advanced technology that DJI are using. However, even if the horizon did move a fraction over a few mins. so what. The camera operator is supposed to...

Are you using expo on the yaw? I am using 50% yaw and Pan. The less input you have to give it the better the final result IMHO. I don't want to steer your S800 set-up because you may find something that we all missed....

A few home made camera mounts long before the days of Zenmuse........:tennis:

I just don't like seeing people waist their money on all of this crap that is out there. Far too many people have set themselves up as manufacturers who don't have a clue. anybody can strap a servo to a moving surface, but will it stabilize correctly ....NO When you say that the Zen looses...

When you boot the system it will drift about for a few seconds as it does a self calibration. Once you start to activate some inputs it should be perfectly stable. sometimes I have to check it because it is so stable it looks like a still image. I guess I'm gonna have to do a vid on how to...

However your own system will now come under threat I'm sorry to say from yet another Chinese manufacturer. Zero UAV will be selling a high sensitivity Zen Style camera base plate IMU to integrate with their so far so good MR system. I expect super fast servos will follow. Watch that...

It sounds like you have a damaged motor.

Interesting, what Tx are you using? I do have my Spectrum Rx's mounted high on the top plate and the 1.3 is below on the arms.

Pete In my experience the carbon props are rubbish for a number of aerodynamic reasons as well as the safety aspect and cost of replacement. I would suggest the APC 14x4.7 and slightly blunt the tips then give them a good balance. My arms have only just been modified as I did not feel it was...

Anyone got some results on the 15" Xoars?

I'm just running standard lights on mine, I did have a few extra ones for night shooting but I found the the two red arms to the rear is good enough so I took em off. Sorting the 1.3 Digital aerials for the video link was a big improvement and also having the monitor on a stand instead of the...

I don't think it needs the bottom as well. If someone does a CFD analysis on this I think you will find that the torsional stresses are focussed at the middle waisted part and the substrate needs to spread in thickness working away from this point. It doesn't need much and using stuff like...

Yes I do, they go out today. John your Tracking No. is RT 169 01333 8CY

You can tell Tabb from me that is an absolute load of old bollocks, Good bloke Tabb so he wont mind me saying it. The Zen never looses it's horizon. I set it and forget it. I can only report good things about the entire S800 package that I am now using. I was called in at short notice to shoot...

Towards the further refinement of the S800 the solution to gaining better torsional rigidity of the arms can be found here. The webings are filled half way down from the top surface with a mixture of Loctite 9462 and carbon nano tube fibers. Don't over do the nano tube as too much will just dry...
