    noticeable vibration with e1200 + s900 (before takeoff)

    i recently moved my setup to an s900 and took it out for a few test flights. pretty trouble free using the WKM from my s800, futaba tx/rx, etc. seemed much smoother than the s800. before getting too far into it, i swapped out the arms for the e1200 upgrade to get a little quieter flight and...

    feedback on battery/voltage limits setup?

    hi all: looking for some advice or confirmation here. my batteries (a pair of century 6S1P 5000mah 40C 22.2V 6S LiPo) were only taking about 2500mah per charge (according to the readout on the hitec x1), so i adjusted the voltage limits on my s800. the copter is as follows: DJI S800 DJI...

    battery weight vs capacity / discharge

    hi all i've been away from the hobby for a while, but getting back into it. had a few successful flights with my s800 the last few days carrying a nikon d810 or fuji x-e2. my interest is pretty much exclusively in still photography. i really prefer flying a balanced copter, with the CG right...

    s800 spinning fairly fast

    i've only taken my s800 out a few times - still in the testing phase for sure. the last couple flights seemed successful and quite stable, especially in ATTI mode. GPS mode doesn't seem quite as good with some TBE. today I added the Bluetooth LED - very handy - and the vibration dampening kit...

    DIY camera mount on skids of S800...

    i plan to use my S800 for aerial stills which will be used (among other things) in architectural visualizations. there is typically heavy editing involved and the opportunity to use very fast shutter speeds so i'm not too worried about vibration and i'm not at all worried about having...

    newbie setup questions

    i picked up a (cheap, I think) s800, wkm, two li-po batteries, and futaba 8j transmitter to do some aerial photography. not video. i'll be using a custom mount for the camera setup which weight about 2.5lb. I don't need a video downlink, gimbals or servos, etc. i'm not too concerned yet about...
