I have the early WKM and the late one and Both have worked fine for me. I did not even try the S800 on the standard ESC's due to all of the hype. this was a mistake on my part as it may have been fine given that the WKM supplied with it was a late version WKM. I wish that they had been clear on...

That was great.....You could also try DIYDrones they seem to have a much more open mind and 22.000 members.

I have tried a couple of other lenses and they all worked just fine. I would like to see how this does with a 730 at full optical zoom. Jes I have to say that the saga of how they are dealing with the ESC **** up is simply a disgrace. First they announce that it is not a recall. It is a...

There is not much room in a 500, this one is an Argentine Air Force example. My brief was to shoot some of the agricultural land that has been released back to the people in the last few years, which is a part of the UN Buffer Zone between the Turkish and the Greek Cypriots following the 1974...

Of course I am, but I still look and buy other stuff and offer any help that I can to improve it. I even make low cost good quality videos that have No camera gimbals at all.

Not to mention post stabilization.

If you watch the background you can see quite clearly that any compensation for the actual movement is purely coincidental to the actual disturbance. That is not going to work.

I flew the Zen today for the UN. It was a great success and a first for this type of camera set-up in a full size heli. If anyone is interested in seeing some of the footage let me know and I'll post some of it.

360 usd seems to me to be a little steep for something that is only getting there. That said, you can only do so much with gimbal electronics. If your drive system has a gearbox i.e. a servo, then it will never be fast enough or free enough. If the gimbal is not perfectly balanced and free to...

I use plane - ACRO with 50% expo on Ail, elev.and rud. Plus voltage monitoring on the telemetry. On 2nd Tx for Zen I use 80% travel and 50% expo. on pitch, pan and roll. I moved from Futaba with no regrets.

The flight will be one and a half hours but I doubt that I will be required to shoot more than 20 mins. in total. Most clips are only about 15-20 sec long on a pro. production. I don't want to get into how to modify the Zen for other lenses. DJI spent a lot of time setting up each mount before...

Juri sorry to see that report about the guy with a six foot heli. I feel that the legislation to control what is going on is going to be too little too late. So here is the Stand alone gimbal https://vimeo.com/45048504 And here is the heli. type that I am going to be using. On my left is the...

I have been wondering if these overheating problems are related to the very high gain settings that some are using. I have a mind to produce some prop. adapters so that I can try some other props. I just don't like these carbon ones. It just looks all wrong and could be causing instability. I'd...

The risk from having a departure is more aligned to the safety factor of the components used and testing facilities that goes with that schedule of work. With a few thousand hours of testing and with built-in safety features such as those utilized of the F1 Scout it can fly in places that most...

If you were a pro shooter, which clearly you are not, then don't you think that getting replacement parts sometime in the distant future is highly unacceptable. If you made your living with this stuff it would need to work reliably everyday. Hmm.. on that. I am sorry to be so blunt, but this...

I think it would be very unlikely that DJI would replace a complete model even if it was proved that the ESC failure was the direct cause. In legal terms the product is "unfit for purpose" as it was sold as a plug and play device. Knowing if you have a defective product is better than not...

Probably the most damaging issue that DJI have had to date. No dealers ever mentioned this which is typical. If there is an issue with units made during those dates it applies to almost everything that has gone out of the door. The idea that we should send back complete arms and the wait for...

It does work, I'll post some shots of the rig later. I did run floor vibration analysis some time ago for my other rigs. With an R44 you would in probability need to have it on your lap. So you should not have an issue there. I am using the standard U/C legs to stand it on some foam layers. I...

Of the surrounding area yes, but the buffer zone is militarily and politically highly sensitive. Some parts are still mined. As an illegal immigrant found out recently. As a general rule all footage is handed over after we land.......... so no post stab. is possible. Anything used for public...

In preparation for next weeks shoot for the UN over some bad countryside. I ran a shake-down test today on the gimbal as a stand alone unit mounted in the normal way on the S/800 landing gear. This I will take into the Hughes 500 and shoot three quarters side/fwd from the back. It was just...
