I have had three props break on the MK Octo and on each occasion I only knew about it because I saw something fly off sideways. The Octo continued flying as before. I then changed to APC props and haven't seen it again.

Thanks for that link Chris. It would not have occurred to me to check the Pan balance. I did and sure enough ... it was way off. I notice that DJI is pretty strenuous in their objections to folks undoing screws 'n' stuff. Well this is what had to be done in order to make this particular unit...

Thanks for the "TimeMachine" info. A couple of things I didn't mention before, just for general info. These axis center points (notice I spelled 'centre' the US way there :)) are not determined by the angle of the gyros. I first tried swivelling the Z15 IMU in the opposite direction to the...

Three hours of delicate effing around have solved the Roll error. There is a way to adjust the horizontal angle mechanically. It is definitely not what DJI want you to be messing about with and probably not for the faint of heart. It is very much a trial and error process and invariably the...

Anybody who does not yet know this should take note. Until your MR is very well setup and you are familiar with its behaviour, lift-off should always be vigorous.

This issue was first discovered with test flights at the airfield - after the compass had been calibrated. Reviewing the subsequent video revealed the wonky horizon. This is not a result of powering up indoors. So, as everyone else appears to have Tx control of the Roll in both modes 1 & 3, it...

Is your Roll axis manually active in Mode 1? Although auto compensation is available in Mode 1 & 3 my Roll can only be moved with Tx input when in Mode 3 i.e. fully auto. I have 360 Tilt and limited Pan in Mode 1 but no Roll. I am wondering if this is just this firmware version (WKM software...

How precise can one expect the Roll axis to be at its default horizontal setting - default as in 'FPV Mode'? Having finally shelled out for the whole S800/WKM/Z15 package I am severely less than impressed. After the initialisation dance the Z15 Pan axis settles in all sorts of places and then...

I had precisely this problem with the first GH2 I purchased. Everything worked fine with the Sony Nex and the Canon 5D, but the GH2 would only permit playback. I sent it back quickly for a refund. I eventually bought another one (by which time the price had increased £150) and exactly the same...

You jus haf to luff zat german accent ant ze huma - "... ze weather is pretty ****ty but zer is not much vind." Informative and entertaining video - well posted!

Did Nord Sud pay for that?

Hellish windy today but at least it wasn't raining so the S800/WKM/Z15 rig (The Virgin for short) went out for its second only flight. Pretty much a waste of time for attempting any meaningful adjustment of settings but I am still at the stage of curious if it actually flies. It has Secraft v.1...

They certainly need some further development. The first pair that arrived seemed to function okay with no sign of either getting stuck. A very quick test flight showed that they worked okay but they were extremely wobbly when in the 'down' position, so much so that I wondered if this extra...

Didn't see these two on the previous page. MORE excellent stuff.

Refreshingly creative and interesting. Excellent.

This is an interesting question. Having just assembled a 'bog standard' S800/WKM/Z15 I too was rather confused by the whole CoG/GPS/IMU distance table that has to be filled in. The mouse-over 'help' is not clear either. It appears as though the Centre of Gravity is being accepted as the Centre...

Oh yes. I like it !

Still have the whole kit. It has not been used for months. Two lenses (16mm + 18-55mm), two UV filters, 16GB SDHC, two Sony Li-Ion batteries, gentLED SHUTTER, gent LED shutterPLUS, - all as new in original box - originally cost over €1000.-, looking for realistic offer. Also looking to sell a...

wot a lotta motors.

Wish the BBC would show sterling work like that to demonstrate the usefulness of this aerial camera platform and that MR operators are not an irresponsible, lunatic fringe bent on peering through bathroom windows. Bloody good job.
