    Is there a problem with the S800 model?

    I was thinking about upgrading to an s800 but i've seen so much said about "death rolls" and problems that I'm wondering if there's a problem with model? Maybe the problem lies with the wookong or A2? I had planned to take my naza and all parts out of my f550 to build the s800 so maybe that...

    Next step from an F550?

    So Im already thinking of moving from an F550 and probably looking at an S800... The S1000 seems a little too expensive and a bit larger. More than I would need. But the S800 looks about right. So Im wondering (to keep the costs down) if I could use my NAZA MV2 from my current rig in the S800...

    We live and learn

    Knowing what you know now what would you do differently with your DJI drone? Would you have brought it or not? Would you have gone for something else? for me - knowing what I know now I would have gone for something larger that can fold away like the s800 (I think). Having lost my first f550 I...

    Ground station

    So I just discovered that when you are flying a mission with the ground station, if you loose signal - the drone will continue its flight. My ground station seems to have sporadic ranges… sometimes I get 1km easily and sometime I loose signal after a few hundred meters.

    Fitting other accessories

    Hi, I'm about to try and fit some sort of siren/alarm to my f550. Ours is a working drone used on a farm to keep pigeons on the move and Im going to add an alarm of sorts to create a large sound to move them on. I've already thought ahead and installed a deans connector to the main board so i...

    small battery for FPV system - how small?

    Hi, With my new avl58 I'm looking for a small battery to power the fpv on its own. I am currently using a 2200mah lipo for the FPV and the f550 is powered by a 5500 battery. As its all getting a bit heavy I'm wondering whats the smallest battery I could use for this job to power just the fpv...

    max range (height for 2.4ghz)

    Hi, What would be the safe height that you can control your multi rotor? Im not discussing legality here just radio range. I have read a few people say 1 mile in range which would also be height. Therefore 5200 feet should still be controllable?! In order to do this I would have my antenna...

    Avl58 or storm fpv system?

    I need help to decide, ive vet narrowed my choice to a avl58 or storm system. I like the look of the dji system as it will fit easily with my f550 kit and the iosd mini will also install well. But I'll need a can hub and other bits so not cheap. I like the way I can take a video output from...

    AVL58 and zenmuse?

    Hi all, I'm about to go down the FPV route and I have a zenmuse h3-2d which I like. The AVL58 seems to be the transmitter to go for and so I want to know if anyone else is using the two? I would plan to use the video out plug that came with my zenmuse but I'm not sure about soldering for use...

    Batteries can I use a car battery?

    Hi, I have a few DJI components such as the IOS ground station that require a "3s-6s" battery. So my question is can I use a normal car battery to power these things? A 3S battery is simply a 3 cell battery thats producing 11.1v "ish" and so as far as i can see it should be the same and...

    Hi, Im using the DJI IOS ground station and something strange is happening. When I set a series of waypoints it climbs to the correct high for the first waypoint but then always seems to drop down (just above the ground!) heading towards the next waypoint?!?! I can't see what the issue is...

    F550 flyaway

    Yesterday I lost my f550 when it climbed beyond my control. I was climbing high and when I tried to stop the climb I lost sight of it and haven't seen it since. I never saw it fall out of the sky anywhere and the return to home had always worked fine before. Word of caution - PUT YOU...
