It sounds like you have a torque bias in the motor alignment which is causing two of your motors to work harder to keep a heading. Denny

This started out as a way to help those who need some help. If stating proven facts is arrogance then so be it - I never trust a wanna be.

I think that flashing red light is a bad calibration I had to redo mine a couple of times before it took the new data.

I am not to sure what happened in that last firmware upgrade but my motors would not arm afterwards, so I swapped over to another frame that has different ESC's and it was fine. Something going on - maybe they are now using over 400hz on the new DJI ESC's. Don't know if that is true yet. The...

I don't want to fall out with anyone over a difference of opinion here. My old drinking mate and hell raiser Oliver Read RIP used to get up on the bar stool and enter into one of his acting renditions and say to me rollie you bastard I may not agree with what you say but I will fight to the...

I would say that is good for an incident reading so I suggested a little hotter for the fact that looking down at dark objects may need a bit of adjustment. I looked at a few images that were shot in aperture priority and then looked at the meta data and found it often needed opening up. The...

My main business is high end publishing, advertising and CGI but I do have some very large prints. some of which are 4 gig in size. and 20 feet long for airports. Time and light was runner-up in the photographer of the Year two years ago. As I said ISO 100 or 400 is hardly any difference even...

One thing that is very important is that you must not touch the model for five seconds when you power up the board. usually when connecting the battery people hold the model on its side and that would cause that problem. D.

Nice one Dave. I can see why his mind was not on the camera ha ha.

Top content, but you left out Linda's head when she was talking!!! I just heard that S800's will start shipping tomorrow. Delayed by fancy packaging. Cant wait.

Tabb your imu looks great!

Looks like a lot of aerodynamic drag to me. Time will tell if that catches on.

I have good results with APC's. Most of mine are reworked and carefully balanced which does make a big difference to the vibration. Most important part of balancing is having the right insert to center the prop. firmly on the shaft. Never did like those flexible ones. They vibrate even when...

I have to say that I was a little surprised in the way that the Zenmuse was strapped to the S800 via an alum. plate that did not appear to fit with tie wraps.

For a beginner, I believe it is better to be a little faster as the image quality between ISO 100 and 800 is negligible with modern cameras that can use 8000 ISO and above at a push. Shooting at 400 asa on a bright sunny day at F8 gives you about 500 sec. At 100 asa that would mean you were...

A few pro tips that may help. If your camera has aperture priority then shoot at F8 as this will give you the sharpest pictures, you then need to set your ISO speed so that it will produce a shutter speed of between 1000 and 2000 sec. This will depend on the available light. If you have auto...

Bart Who knows how long before we have auto object tracking as well. I was playing with that a while back, the guys at Guildford Uni did something similar with Predator. I used optic flow sensors on the LCD but gave it up due to the time and money these things can take. A few people out there...

He did say 8500 with radio etc. I guess thats a ready built one, I just took an order to build one ready to go at 9000 euros. Ruling is another 5k

I would like to see more of this http://www.blackmagic-design.com/products/blackmagiccinemacamera/ All my Macs use Blackmagic cards so I know the quality. I cant believe the price.

I notice that the gimbal is not working in proportional stick mode - thats great news . i.e. move the camera, release the stick and it takes up it's new heading and stays there. They did their homework as that is the way full size pro systems work. That response speed was also very good. I'm...
