Great idea @@maxwelltub Registering in some way may not be full-proof but its a good idea; just as we have to do with our guns.

Ha! Ten minutes. I think I've got you beat with about 15-20 minutes of flight time before having to rebuild after a "HARD landing". I've given up for the night. I'm still @ square 1 on the V2 upgrade process. Having never done it before, I'm still trying to figure out if I have to hook up the...

Thanks @Bartman. I believe it's the "Upgrade" tab in the assistant. Like I stated earlier, I purchased this used so I've never attempted to use the assistant software until now because I purchased a NZA V2 PMU & iOSD mini so I have to upgrade firmware. I don't know if I am missing something or...

I am surprised you had no responses. Did you have any luck getting this fixed? I basically purchased (used) the exact same setup as you. F550, NAZA-M V1, Spektrum DX8, and AR8000 RX. I am having trouble figuring out how to upgrade NAZA V1 firmware to V2.

I'm a couple weeks late but I enjoyed this thread. Good for you for you, @Geronimo , for not being afraid to ask. You'll never learn otherwise. It is intimidating when you're dealing with seasoned RC Pros (definitely not me!) with 5, 10, 20, 30 years experience having to deal with the fast &...

"Still pic" cats that would happily pay top dollar for this beauty? Ha. I kid I kid. But seriously $$ talks. :) Ya know, the more I look at it (landing gear, servos, gimbal) the more I appreciate it for its cool design, engineering, and look. Its like a piece of art.

@SleepyC & @Bartman Yowza! That's both good and bad news. Bummer about the value but good because now I wouldn't feel too bad about parting it out. I like the landing gear and I'd like to see how I can customize/fabricate it in different ways. Maybe I could somehow utilize the gimbal on a...

I have a mint condition, never used AG550v2 2-Axis Gimbal, Landing Gear setup. I also have the Yoke & IMS Upgrade Assembly (not installed). Does anyone still utilize this setup? If so, what camera equipment do you use? What is the current value of this setup?

Haha. Great ending! What video software do you use?

All I searched for just now was 'S-800' & this came up (read the description):

Holy crap... that does somehow make me feel better. Thanks. :)

I look forward to your video. Somehow I wasn't too bummed about it. I looked at it as a learning experience, although I'm not sure what the lesson learned is supposed to be. Maybe I was coming in too hot, maybe too dark outside, maybe I accidentally flipped a switch on the Tx, maybe the heli...

Haha. Your last post was spot on. It would be much easier to simply throw money into the air... at least it would come back down in one piece! I thought I had the financing all figured out but the more time that passes the less $$ I have! Losing power @ 50ft & smashing into the ground the other...

Wow, thanks so much for taking the time to share the close up pics. It really helps. I had this in mind to eliminate the prop/landing-gear issue: http://www.helipal.com/camera-position-kit-660mm.html I think it will make the camera more vulnerable in a crash or even off-balance landing but I...

That is a smart feature. It'll keep me out of trouble. In your video above, what was the highest altitude you reached? Where are you located? Isn't Helipal out of Hong Kong? What was the shipping time like? Or maybe they have a warehouse in the states? I am still starting out. Just to...

Yes! That's the exact setup I had in mind, especially the gear rails. Thanks for the info. I really want that GoPro as far forward as I can get it. Don't want to deal w/ rotors & landing gear in the shots if at all possible. Don't want to crop out rotors from videos. Would also like to shed as...

Ah yes, I did learn about descending in a spiral. Forgot about that. I'll give it a try. I assumed I needed to balance the props or something.

I paid $1000 for everything including transmitter, (2) Hyperion 4s 5000mah batteries w/ EOSO 6060i charger, original boxes, soldering iron, and more. I mean he included everything. He said that he had $2800 invested. Did I make out like a bandit or was it a so so deal? Its a NAZA-V1. My plan...

I searched the site for answers before posting but no luck, so hope I don't step on any toes... I had plans to build a DJI F550 w/ a DJI Zenmuse H3-3D Gimbal to mount a GoPro Hero 4 Black to. (I'm open to all advice on smoothest & latest landing gear/gimbal/props, etc configurations for the...
