What happened to my iPhone app? We haven't been flying the A2 much lately and needed to get one of the big rigs going the other day. Assistant forced me to do firmware update and now my handy iPhone app is gone. Well, it is there but says it needs to be updated although it is the most current...

Just tried updating to FW1.05.00. Now all it does is the loud BEEP sequence. I have had this before but usually it would sort itself out if I let it run (and beep) for long enough. Things I have tried: -Reformating micro SD card, redownloading firmware and starting with card in - just...

Been having troubles with my A2 on our S1000. During a recent demo we went to compass cali and it spooled up low speed. Grounded it immediatly... Did firmware update and still the problem persisted. Tonight re adjudted endpoints on GPS/ATTI as I read that might be the problem and the travel...

I just built my first coaxial. It is a big SkyJib X4XL and I am doing my first flights with it. I find it flies a little differently then any of my other UAVs and I wanted to see what other people were finding with their rigs. I find it yaws quite slowly for one and when I continue rotating a...

Got the basic assembly all done this afternoon and did the maiden flight. There were a few problems with the build and some modifications to do still but she was flight worthy and all went well. The long retractable gear had a manufacturing defect. I guess I was the first shipment of a...

OK, so does anyone know why the KDE motors don't fit the Skyjib motor mounts. Yes, the KDE M4 beveled head bolts line up perfectly through the mounts to fit with the holes on the KDEs but the diameter of the thread is too big to fit through the bolt slot in the mount and the head is too large...

Did a little test flight with my S900 today. Flight went great but when I landed I noticed the yellow light was not flashing battery warning but rather almost solid yellow with the odd flicker. Grounded the machine and brought it inside. I hadn't done the A2 update yet so I figured it was...

We have been using Motorola radios for on set communication but they really don't work when your hands are full or if more than one person needs to talk at once. Pilots have been using duplex coms for ages and it only makes sense in a multirotor production environment. What are folks using...

Almost all the parts are in for my build. Here is the list below. Airframe - Skyjib X4XL Coaxial With Aeronavics Retracts KDE 5215XF-435 Motors KDE 75AMp ESCs 18" 6.1 T-Motor Props 2 X 16000 MAH Tattu 6S lipos Power Hungry Power Distro A2 Flight Controller 2 X Futaba 14SG TX With 2 X...

It is finally time to build a true heavy lifter capable of flying a Red / Canon C300 / BlackMagic 4K etc. We have been doing lots of work with the S1000 / 5D MKIII and the new S900 / BMPCC packages but more and more our clients are asking us to fly bigger cameras, a greater variety of lenses...

Got a problem with my Z15-BMPCC gimbal. Everything was working great but now all I get on my video monitors is the data overlay from the iOSD and a white screen. The data overlay is telling me that my video TX/RX is fine so the problem has to be in the Z15, the wiring or the iOSD. I have...

I have been trying to set up single operator for my S1000 / Z15 5D rig. I have dual 14SG TX's and R7008SB RX's and thought it would be easy to set the gimbal RX to MODE 4 (ch9-14) to do so. I would then remap the controls on the TX to accommodate this change. THis way I can have full control...

For some reason when I changed upgraded to my new Futaba R7008SB RX/14SG TX package the other day from my old R6208 RX / 8FG TX for gimbal and camera control I developed a problem. Camera settings have not changed but now while recording the 5D stops and snaps a still every minute or so. It...

Ok, just built up an S900 with an A2 I had around and had a weird test flight. In GPS mode red blinked 3 times, 2 times, once then all LEDs stopped altogether. Yes, I did imu and compass Cali. Switched to ATTI and LEDs normal. Tried very low flight in ATTI and all was well. Any ideas??? I...

Ok, time to open another can 'o worms here. I have been flying for a couple of years and getting work with my S1000 / 5D combo. Just took poscession of an S900 / BMCC setup for folks who want that too. Trouble is directors keep asking if we can fly the Red and I think there is a market there...

I have tried everything in the manual and I just can't get this thing to start in mode B. This RX runs my camera and gimbal and I want to create a solo setting on the TX so I need to get access to channels 9-16. Help!

I am trying to set up my S1000 / Z15-5D rig with two flying modes. 1) Dual operator - dual RX,TX etc and 2) Solo operator - single TX, dual RX. THe dual operator is working perfectly as I have the Futaba T14SG and two R7008SB RXs linked and working via Sbus in 14channel single mode on the two...

So I finally have all the pieces back together and have my Canon 5DMKIII back up in the air on the S1000 with the Z15-5D gimbal and the recommended 24mm lens. Now for camera video settings and work flow... I've been shooting stills with Canon DSLRs forever but video is relatively new to me. I...

Just did my first two test flights with the S1000 / Z15-5D setup. I noticed some minor oscillations when hovering. Not there all the time but noticeable for sure. Haven't looked at the video yet to see if it picked up in camera or not. I tried turning the gains down by 10 all around but that...

So the A2 took down my Carboncore Hex a month or so ago with Z15-5D and Canon 5D MKIII onboard. Major bummer! Miraculously it "appeared" that the gimbal was not damaged, bent or broken in any way apart from a pinched black ribbon cable that I reclaced. I have since replaced the camera and...
