    Struggling to decide best route into aerial photography in the UK

    Some of the Cessna operators in the UK have delved into model ops. as another string to the bow. unfortunately most of them did not have the required modeling experience and thought that it would be as simple as acquiring a Mikrocopter and taking it out the next day and using it. It doesn't work...

    Maybe its a 6 cell battery system. My F1 fully loaded with everything is 3.5 Kg. with I- 5800 Ma 4 cell main battery 1- 11.1 v. aux battery, 550D + telemetry, 2x imus. V.regulator bouyancy panels and WKM. DX-8 for additional battery warning telemetry

    Struggling to decide best route into aerial photography in the UK

    As one who spent more than thirty years in the aerial photography business in the UK before moving to Cyprus. I think that it is already overcrowded with operators who know what they are doing. Finding a market that is not already covered will be hard. A steep learning curve from both sides and...

    Sudden climbs/descents while in GPS mode (Wookong-M)

    Also check that the small holes in the imu are not blocked.

    WKM gimbal pitch servo limited travel question

    What the DJI does with a direct drive servo is to increase the rez. by decreasing the m/s width to give you less travel volume the only way to increase that is to have a remote Pot. I think Gentles has something that may expand the pulse width!

    Error code on Naza Assistant

    It seems to do this the first time you update the latest code. Usually ok on the second attempt. Just testing Naza on the F1 and it all seems ok. Make sure you connect you Rx and ESC's the right way as the signal rail is on the bottom.

    Coming soon Zenmuse gimbal

    I have been using dual servos on my full size camera mounts for years now. they operate in slew mode so the servo pot is fixed. however there is a 3 m/s difference on each servo so it creates a slight torque bias. The point that bothers me with that Zenmuse is why have a 360 deg yaw axis that...

    Coming soon Zenmuse gimbal

    Probably the fastest servo out there is the MKS HV787 and even that running in direct drive at 7.2 volts is not fast enough with the DJI standard camera outputs. To get the resolution they reduce the travel output pulse width so you don't get a full 120 deg . These things that run 5:1 gear...

    I think the sluggish start up of the yaw axis was probably due to the fact that it was still calibrating as it picked up ok at the end.

    slowing down video

    OK Guys there is a little secret to getting fantastic slowmo and I'm about to tell you how to do it. http://www.photographybay.com/2012/02/02/1000fps-on-canon-550d-with-twixtor/?awt_l=HwG3Q&awt_m=IfaW3KcOjv62xu anyone recognize Brighton Palace Pier?

    What's with the toilet bowl?

    Ken if your GPS has had a crash you need to send it back. I have one that got damaged and it will fly ok but not where you want it to go autonomously.

    Coming soon Zenmuse gimbal

    DJI have done their homework on that design. I know from experience that the imu has to be a stand alone device. When I tested dihedral thrust angles a while back I didn't like it but who knows what else they have done. It will become the one and only out of the box solution that works properly...

    CineStar 6 + WKM + Maytech = WOW!

    If I were you I would go and get a set of HiModel 40A. ESC's and a set of T-Motor 4008's. set timing to high or med. and it will work just fine. Cut down the 14x4.7 APC's to about 11.5 dia. D.

    If the motors are starting to smell then they are already damaged. I would not trust those motors in the air.
