    Have we come too far too fast?

    I noticed it but thought it was stone age in design. My F1 535 has had integral prop protection for at least a year so this is not a new idea. the gauze over the top and bottom is a waste of time as the damage is done by the blade tips. It is also very inefficient to have this weight and...

    There can be many factors that can cause this. the feed back interference alone is not going to be the cure.

    DJI S800 Product Bulletin - ESC too high temperature

    I think that the danger comes right where they leave the arm ducting. Vibration could cause the shellac coating to wear down and then poof.... I expect that the plastic arm also has some nice conductive carbon.

    Have we come too far too fast?

    Someone in Cyp. was hit by a much smaller heli during a training flight. he almost died and needed twelve operations afterwards. Although there is much less chance of one crashing it carries serious consequences if it does. I remember in the early days a heli threw a blade and it went through a...

    Have we come too far too fast?

    So how many people of capable ability are actually working on this right now? How is it going to be produced when you get it right? I do have a high regard for some of the work that has been done in the past but everything seems to move at a very slow pace for your eventual goal of changing...

    We must all accept the limitations of what this PH gimbal is capable of. The IMU and the firmware is only a part of the overall package. At best we can only hope for something that will be stable enough to provide raw video that with a small amount of post stabilization will give reasonable...

    I powered mine with an adjustable PS and it was better at 4.5 volts. Still cack.

    The roll I could deal with, but the tilt is slow and still looks like a woodpecker. Something going on with the servo deadband width. You could not even take stills with this thing at the moment. Even the standard Naza outputs are an improvement.

    I have a new AV130 with the latest RSGS and it is not making a lot of sense right now. Having loaded the latest code and powered it up correctly I don't see how you write and save the settings after making the adjustments? other than saving a file at the end. It's prime use is for stills only...

    DJI WKM Firmware 5.12 Update

    Correct Dave. You must hit default first.

    Show us what you shot.

    Zen does not have horizon issues, only operator ones :tennis: well, something in life has to be perfect. What is not appreciated here is just how far away from the opposition the Zenmuse is. It goes without saying that to use it the way it was intended to be used requires some advanced training...

    The solution Dave is simple, I don't tell them that it's from that camera. When I have finished with it they would not know the difference anyway. I only deliver what I know is of broadcast quality. What you have to understand is that the Nex-7 is like a lot of prosumer cameras. They are good...

    I did not have any twitches. It was flying perfectly.

    DJI WKM Firmware 5.12 Update

    The DJI engineers were very interested in the type of cut-off I was using also the height. both failures happened at the same height, just as I started to ease back on the throttle. Once it stopped on the way down I opened throttle instantly when nothing responded I went to normal restart...

    DJI WKM Firmware 5.12 Update

    My Zenmuse is definitely going into a TDI heli. We have one here that can attain speeds in excess of 240 KPH. These things just never go wrong even with the extremes of 3D flying.

    DJI WKM Firmware 5.12 Update

    Iceman I don't see any point in running motors without load. I did exhaustive bench testing (as always after any change) with props fitted before flight and saw no increase in temps or any change in stability. (The model is strapped down to a workmate) and loaded to about 30% more than that seen...

    DJI WKM Firmware 5.12 Update

    I cant comment further until I finish a full investigation on the F1. If I find no damage to motors or ESC then it can be replicated on the test rig. the S800 having been dunked in the sea will have burned out all of the ESC's and possibly some motors

    DJI WKM Firmware 5.12 Update

    It was last flight of the day and the new owner was going to take delivery of it soon after. Yes it was a recall ESC. And yes it was with that amazing Zenmuse. DJI are already investigating the sequence of events and the model is already winging it's way back to China. Almost no structural...

    DJI WKM Firmware 5.12 Update

    I had a power shut down issue yesterday. I am not going to comment until I have made a full analysis. I had to rescue an S800 from the sea afterwards. My student forgot to turn the camera on so I don't have the exact sequence of events.:apathy:
