I used the batwing and the bat legs on my F550 and my 10 inch props still come into view if I fly too fast forward. This is with the batwing mounted to the bottom of the arms too! Additionally the left bat leg comes into view with the GoPro pointing straight down. I do not recommend these...

The password may be flight... but the link to the video is evidently stealth. U.M.

I have a stock DJI F550 frame, esc's, & motors running the stock 10-in props with the following add-ons... NAZA-M v2, GoPro Hero 3+ Black, Zenmuse H3-2D, iOSD Mini, Iris Ariel Bat Wing & landing legs, Boscam TS353 400mW Tx, Boscam RX-LCD5802. I use an Onyx 6400mAh 3S battery and consistently get...

Just modified my 8FGHS with the spring kit from Futaba. They are FREE! All you have to do is send an email with your name, radio model number, and mailing address to: support@futaba-rc.com or <!-- e -->service@futaba-rc.com You will not get any reply to the email... a package will just...

Care to divulge the specifics of your F550's fly away? Any idea as to what caused it? U.M.

Not sure what you mean by "Switching the ports around on the GCU & iOSD? The GCU has no "pass through" port so you can only daisy chain the Zenmuse GCU TO the iOSD and then the iOSD to the PCU, unless I'm missing something? Additionally... doesn't the S-BUS interface between the Zenmuse GCU...

Please take a look at this attached setup and tell me whether this will work or not. Additionally how do I interface the FPV transmitter with the iOSD since their respective inputs/outputs don't exactly match up? Or should I be using the video out from the Zenmuse GCU and running that to the FPV...

You don't need a drone... Buy some large bottle rockets and tie your line/lure to one, then just fire & fish! :frog: U.M.

Yeah it's a little bit flimsy but seems to do the job well enough. I was a little concerned about mounting a 600+ gram battery on the bottom of that tray, but it seems to be holding up well thus far. Then again I'm not pulling max G's with this thing either... U.M.

1) What kind of cable from gimbal to FC? The flat one that comes packaged with the gimbal. 2) Does one typically power the GoPro from the system or with the internal battery only? I use the internal battery on the GoPro. 3) Anything else to think of? What guidance/GPS are you using? My...

So the landing gear is now assembled and my new GoPro Hero 3+ Black edition is sitting on my desk next to the PC, the Zenmuse H3-2D gimbal is en route from eBay. Still waiting on my NAZA-M V2 and Futaba 8FG to arrive. Hopefully they will all get here before the end of this week. Still have...

Thanks for the detailed explanation and pictures. That helps a lot. I did find a H3-3D for $499 with an expected release date of mid-April. http://www.helipal.com/dji-zenmuse-h3-3d-3-axis-gimbal.html However I don't feel I'll need that third axis so I'm going to stick with the H3-2D. Figure...

Flamewheel version? Please enlighten me with a link. I've yet to see one targeted specifically for the 550. Thanks! U.M.

You stationed in Korea currently? I did a year at Kunsan while I was in the USAF. Not the most pleasant assignment in my career. I'm retired from the AF now and but still work for DAF. Here's a picture of my work in progress. I have a set of black arms coming in tomorrow. Something to make it...

First off, THANKS COREY! My 550 was in fact a genuine DJI and it did come with the original motor's & ESC's, not the newer E300 system. So I've decided to stick with this original 550 setup for now. I read somewhere that the new E300 system is restricted to a specific set of props? Well then...

First off, Hiya! Brand new member here. I wasn't getting answers to my questions posted on another multirotor forum so I bailed and have come over here. Seems to be much more active! So on to my questions and here's to hoping for some answers... I've been flying my Phantom v1.1.1 for a while...
