    DJI Zenmuse gimbal and S800 Spreading Wings preorder

    The web site says they are not supporting that camera anymore! Only Nex 5-7 and 16 mm lens.

    Why do I find this so amusing? ;-)

    I suppose it could have been locked in carefree mode without the pilot realizing it. A classic case of not knowing ones limitations. A few hours in the sim would have saved the day. Putting that much money in the sky without knowing what your doing is a crime against what we stand for.

    DJI Naza Assistant software wont run

    The network error just means the assistant is not connected to the internet. Could be a driver problem. But if you sort that problem and still don't see a green light then it is a connection problem at the USB cable. I think it is more likely a problem with the LED V-Sen Unit. If the mini...

    The ball joint mounting has just been changed, it now has several layers of EVO rubber between it and the frame. I am planning to release the pictures and video next week. The stabilizing part of the balanced beam only moves about ten degrees the pitch movement is on a separate drive I was in...

    My stuff is all custom made and i am still waiting for the Zenmuse to arrive. I think UAV Products also have one in the pipe.

    JAZCAM Yes the root cause was found in the prop combination. Now fixed. Changed the RPM and the natural frequency. The beam is attached to the model at the central ball joint only. The mount is totally stabilized by mechanical balance with magnetic drives to center it. Experimental technology...

    X8 vs. flat octo redundancy comparison.

    Just to add to the voodoo the X8 has a double weight inertia at the end of the arm which is a destabilizing factor, so it is not all perfect. I still believe that a quad can do the job as good as anything if done right. Hexa is better in high wind yaw response. I don't fear the redundancy factor...

    X8 vs. flat octo redundancy comparison.

    Jes The best prop. lifting efficiency does not work hand in hand with stability. i.e. the larger swept area of the blades increases efficiency and decreases stability. The higher prop. loading from a smaller dia. improves stability. Therefore the X8 has less lift efficiency and more stability...

    Interesting - but IME what works with a GoPro (weight) doesn't necessarily scale well. By "getting close" do you mean you're going to be offering it for sale? I think it is more of a look at some old ideas that I played with a couple of years ago. I don't do much manufacture for other people...

    This camera mount has no motors or servos it just magnetically floats on a small balanced beam. Still needs a little work to stop a strange vibration issue but it's getting close.

    I never did understand why people use this technique in AP. It produces everything that you don't want. I think the term taken through the bottom of a milk bottle comes to mind. Never heard of a publisher who bought a picture like this. Sorry, just an opinion based on a little experience in this...

    I have been reading quite a number of negative reports on the D800 for use in aerial photography. I don't have one so I cant comment myself.

    S800 - Landing Gear Braces

    Yes I had the same problem and told DJI who said yes we know about that and will have a mod. soon. I would not over tighten those upper screws too much. Ball joints would have been better.:upset:

    Simonk flashed

    Pulso have some very well made ESC's but the firmware is totally lame for MR's. Different story with the SimoK rework. Out of the box my favorite is the 50A from Suppomotor. It can even drive those tricky 3506 T-Motors.

    8400 Zippy Lipo's

    Bart, I use Zippy 5800mah 30C, just weighed one and its (580 grams.) with 3" cable and T70 connector. I found the performance little better than my usual 5000 mah Zippy's 20C. (518 grams.) One of my best batteries is an old lightmax Zippy 5000/20C that weighs 498grams.

    CineStar 360 Gimbal

    Ah, I missed all this. The board that I and a couple of others are working on is the ArduIMU V-3 it has all of the right ingredients. being based on the MPU6000. It can theoretically resolve .005 deg. I just wish I had more hours in the day and the support from those who offered. Writing the...

    Firmware 5.06 warning

    Were you seeing any red lights when it started to come down. It sounds like a low battery problem.

    Half price S800...

    As the hardest part is actually getting your hands on one. It is a sellers market at this moment in time. In a year I bet many things will change price wise. However one does have to look at the saturation level of high end stuff. There is not an endless market out there with big money to spend...
