One thing that is not right about the Z15 set-up manual is the recommended lens setting of 1/60th at F3.5. The 16 mm/2.8 E pancake lens is a dog at anything approaching full bore. Many are saying that it has no place on a Nex-7 but ok on a Nex. All of the test results that I have seen confirm...

Silicon rubber, the kind that you buy in the hardware shop or instant gasket etc. produces acetic acid. Test it on a piece of metal and see what happens. I would not put that stuff anywhere near your electronics. There are specialized thermally conductive epoxides designed for that job.

When I watched the demo video it was so far behind the movement it would have needed a perfectly stable machine to get anywhere near good results without post stab. Maybe they just threw that in to make everyone buy something else.

That tilt is for tightening up the yaw deadband

I would say that mine looks a little more evenly soldered than T Ed's, the continuity is also OK. One thing less to check out. I'll be running the throttle snap-open test next. Then rpm against current draw across all six. Time/temps etc. Finally I-phone vibration test. If it all seems OK I will...

I think the white flashes are the strobing of the sun through the props. Vibration issue also causing jellow. GoPro has no iris so electronic shutter is trying to adjust exposure. Jellow can be improved by use of ND filter.

Terry I have had no issues with 5.08 and have been flying it for about three weeks now. It is interesting to note that the Z15 requires that you have 5.08 installed so maybe some of that upgrade is connected in some way.

Jes, it's always good to hear your constructive comments, however, If all you want to do is take a few stills, then why do you need any camera movements. There are other ways to do that very successfully. In fact you can even make a reasonable video with a fixed camera. Any chance of seeing...

If you can find a way to make those kind of intricate parts another way do tell us. Most of that material ends up as swarf. It has properly designed structural rigidity and no bearing play due to one thing - accuracy. It is a far cry from all of the other stuff out there that I have seen. The...

I have been studying the Zenmouse and it is an incredibly well made device, everything is made from aircraft grade CNC machined alum. hard anodized. it is precision made in every aspect. It is a dedicated package for a specific type of camera so that the user is steered into a foolproof set-up...

Good info Cloner but that link did not work for me!!!

Well, at this moment in time it seems like Picloc, Skyline and hoverfly customers are still crying in their beer. So who is going to get it right first. Dji are home and dry on this one and maybe Tabb has something up his sleeve.

I think there's a doping issue going on.

For you guys lucky enough to have your Z15 where did you end up mounting the GCU. It's not critical other than the cables all need to reach it OK.

Lower volts usually means higher temps. Thats why your average big 3D heli is 12s/ 45 volts. I would expect heavy lift MR's to go the same way eventually. The other problem, will be that by going to 5S, you will cut down the available rpm which will certainly effect your stability to the point...

I agree that this is getting to be worrying. With any system there will be a few problems and some people are just unlucky. What we need right now is to hear from people who have done a significant amount of hours with S800 to determine if a problem exists or not. Low Kv motors can need some...

Nice..

To do this test just unplug the ESC's and connect each one in turn to the servo tester. At the same time recheck your programing start point and timing etc.

This just does not sound like a pressure sensor problem but a response throttle reaction due to the sudden change of pressure causing the motors to speed up faster than the ESC can cope with. Try running each motor separately from a servo tester and check to see if the motors operate smoothly...

As I recall the free 2.4/900 was just an incentive to buy. Ha HA, they didn't say you could actually use it.
