    How the Pros fly

    Carapau, Totally reasonable question. I see the dual operator technique the same way e.g. being 50-100 yards out in a wide open field 20 feet off the deck while traveling left to right and not knowing if you're about to fly behind, in front of, or hit that lone tree in the middle. I truly feel...

    How the Pros fly

    I'm a solo operator 100%, and I operate the gimbal (360 degrees) in non-orientation lock 90+ percent of the time using FPV as a tool not a crutch. Once solo technique is mastered a camera operator is unnecessary. There are many creative, technical, and safety benefits to Soloing. I'm a camera...

    A2 Upgrade, Getting Solid Yellow LED?

    :::::Problem Solved. Bad USB Cable::::: I have upgraded without problem since version 2.1 but now all of the sudden when I connect either my PC/Mac to the LED it ends up solid yellow. Neither computer recognize being connected to a device?

    Reimagine the Future of FPV Flight

    I'm all for catchy marketing tag lines and cinematic through the legs slider shots with super stylish shoes but... it's ridiculous to think DJI has reimagined the future of FPV as a "two man" operation where the pilot doesn't even use FPV or have any idea what the composition of his shot is...

    Point of Interest wavers from centre with A2 controller

    The only way I have been able to successfully get POI to work better than what you are describing on both the A2 and the WKM is by using trial and error in adjusting the GPS (declination) to fine tune the POI until it can achieve a straight shot. It is very time consuming and only seems to work...

    Experiences with folding props or quick connectors?

    I'm looking at getting those KDE triple Prop adapters for my S1000 for a high altitude (14,000ft) project I have coming up. Did you see a substantial increase in thrust with those?

    DJI S800 yaws in flight

    40mph or 18m/s is consistent with the maximum speed you can achieve with 2.3. My S1000 will accelerate right up to 20m/s which is about 45 and will maintain that speed as long as I want with no issues and plenty of power reserve to ascend. the fact that 2.1 allowed for a faster decent and flight...

    DJI S800 yaws in flight

    Yep, and totally possible on the first version software. All you had to do is start into a decent to gain speed with gravity and push the stick as far as it could go. pretty simple really. Its a shame A2 version 2.3 has a 20m/s limit because the S1000 could easily handle going faster. They also...

    Recommendation for a Red Epic rig

    I suggest ditching the Epic and flying the GH4 99% of the jobs out there do not require an epic and the advantages it has over the GH4 are pretty slim when it comes to filming from a multirotor not to mention the s1000 will fly circles around every red epic rig out there. Plus you will get way...

    DJI S800 yaws in flight

    gtranquilla Do you think the 3 prop fix could help? I've considered purchasing but the experiment would set me back about $300 so I've been hesitant. I've even considered this for my S1000 but only for high altitude above 12,000ft as it wouldn't be necessary for anything lower

    DJI S800 yaws in flight

    I've had this problem from day one. On the first version of A2 software I was a able to reach speeds of up to 27m/s (tail wind + using a decent to pick up speed) and the "spin outs" would happen randomly at speeds as low as 12m/s (higher altitude or a head wind). From all my research and...

    Z15 gimbal tilt limit

    Just use the reset to tilt down and quickly achieve a perfect 90 degree look down, or use the degrees shown for tilt on your IOSD when manually tilting.

    DJI A2 Performance/Build Comparisons

    A2 just preformed several perfect back to back flights in -5 to -8ish degrees fahrenheit. Used about $50 in hand warmers to keep me and the batteries warm.

    DJI A2 Performance/Build Comparisons

    That is certainly a possibility I can't rule out, but the majority of the flight are close in with the LED visible and I have never seen it act the way you are experiencing. POI does have issues a shame because it works very well on the WKM. With the A2 I can get POI to work 1 time, but if I...

    DJI A2 Performance/Build Comparisons

    i just uploaded the new firmware last week. I have about 90 minutes of flight on it but haven't went over 15m/s. I'll report back with results after bringing the bird up to top speed. As for the previous spin outs. The experience was almost like having the bird in IOC. It kept flying straight as...

    DJI A2 Performance/Build Comparisons

    Two posts in and already given safety advice ;) Prior to this new system my older WKM based multi has had thousands of flights without a single mishap. Not crashing and safety is explicitly part of the job. I came here only to help people with the A2 as I have a solid knowledge of the device...

    DJI A2 Performance/Build Comparisons

    I fly FPV and among other things keeping a close eye on the ground speed via the IOSD I've watched it push over 25m/s many times. To reach these higher speeds I start my sequence at a higher altitude and drop down a gentle flight slope to the altitude I want to be while pushing forward. It...

    DJI A2 Performance/Build Comparisons

    Since early October I have flown single operator over 60 hours on my S800+A2+IOSD+Z15 GH3+T8FGS. The machine has preformed very well in temperatures as low as 5°F up to 100, and gusting winds of 30mph or so. It has been caught in the rain flying at night off a boat over the ocean. and has been...
