    Align Multicopter Problem with GH4 Video out and Align G3 Gimbal

    The replacement cable arrived and solved the problem. Interesting enough the Align agent in Australia claimed that it would not replace the cable on warranty as it is a consumable part (unbelievable). A literally unused device! The local supplier was understanding enough to pay for it.

    Align Multicopter Need help with usb connection to new Align 690 for setup..

    The throttle behaviour is surely different to dji or MC that I had before and while it took a few times to get used to it, I have no issues with the motors stopping mid flight or unexpected on my m690. At take off, you need to push throttle way up but then it works as normal. When landing...

    A safer and faster way for chsrging batteries.

    Since starting to use 6s 8000mAh batteries on my last two units, I have been planning on upgrading my old 50w AC/DC chrager. The charge time was really long and forcing me to keep my batteries charged a few days before flying. I have as a result lost a good battery. Also as I was charhing in the...

    Align Multicopter Problem with GH4 Video out and Align G3 Gimbal

    @ASims you were right. It is a faulty HDMI cable at the GH4 connection. Thx mate PS: Add it to the long list of other faulty cables and connections you get with an align m690.

    Align Multicopter Problem with GH4 Video out and Align G3 Gimbal

    Can someone please help me out with the setting of GH4 and the video out of Align G3 gimbal? The output is like this one (photo) on my monitor. As you see the OSD works so the problem should be at the camera (GH4) or the gimbal end. I think I have followed the recommendations on the system...

    Align Multicopter Align G3 tuning

    Just to keep it in the records, I have progressed the tuning and it is now much better. I added a thicker layer of foam between my OSD/TX and the frame to isolate the TX fan vibrations. That does reduce vibrations on the frame a little bit. I also used slightly softer dampener combination. Now...

    Align Multicopter Align G3 tuning

    And here the response I gave to a question on FB which asked if I had tried to balance the folding props... ... to be honest no. I do not have a setup to balance folding props and in recent months have flown my other setup with self tightening props. I decided to focus on the gimbal and m690...

    Align Multicopter Align G3 tuning

    I posted this initially in fb but will continue to report here. I had a rough start on my m690 but will not go through all the problems. Suffice to say that I was not one of the lucky ones. Had a flight today with my M690/GH3 and GH4/12-35. I changed the props to T motor 15x5 timber self...

    Align Multicopter Align M480L has arrived ....

    Denny that is impressive. Gives me hope to work on my m690. I certainly get a lot of vibrations and have tried a fee variation in dampener configuration. That aside I totally agree that the flight characteristics are excellent. May I ask How did you get the balance with your gimbal this far...

    Rcvault in Australia. Marcel there has been really helpful so far.

    Align Multicopter Align M480L has arrived ....

    Thx ShackFlyer. My dealer has promised the voltage booster for a next week delivery. Will see. I have just replaced all the props with T Motor 15x5 self tightening to test how the vibrations would change. Will fly tomorrow. I don't have a lot of experience with folding blades but guess they...

    Guys, glad that align m690 and m480 owners are now posting here. I have been writing a lot about my progress and experience on the facebook page. I will summarise my experience on a new thread here.

    Align Multicopter Align M480L has arrived ....

    I had to resolder all the gps wires but the ESCs and pcu wire were fine. It flies really great (m690) but vibrations at gimbal (G3 GH) are s lot making the videos from my G3 almost unusable. If I get that right, I will be happy with the purchase! Fingers crossed.

    Maiden flight Vid. what do you guys think I shoud do with gains?

    Sorry to hear that. Did it flip? Was it like a quick oscillatory motion that you tried to counter it causing the crash? Asking this because your video looks like motors outputs are too powerful for the weight and it was oscillating on your correction inputs (high atti gains).

    Sub7kg for DSLR Wiltshire

    I have a m690 and it is a hate and love game. I would not recommend it as a hassle free business oriented platform. Had to resolder the wires inside the gps puck to get it work. Wire connections are poor. The vibrations are also more than you would expect, certainly more than DJI s900 (perhaps...

    X8 and Contra Rotating Efficiency - A simple study

    In terms of power efficiency and if the props are parallel, why it should make any difference to tilt them inward or outward? I would understand if there was difference in the overall stability or even overall power use in hover but you wouldn't see that on a bench test, would you? Isn't it just...

    X8 and Contra Rotating Efficiency - A simple study

    Thanks for the insights. I am on road this week but will look into this a bit further next week. Would also try the Oldman's suggestion once I could visualise it. Thanks Bartman, That is what I was thinking of doing. As the FC always tries to balance the multi rotor, any combination that...
