Hi all, Just wondering if anyone has come across this. I'm flying the S800 with Zenmuse. Everything was fine until a couple of weeks ago. All of a sudden I am getting constant vibrations in my footage. I've stripped down and rebuilt everything. Remounted the Zen, rebalanced the lens, balanced...

Hi all, I have some shots to do tomorrow with my Zenmuse, so today I took the S800 out for a spin to make sure everything was in working condition. I've been very happy with it's performance up till now. It was nicely dialed in and position hold was very good. The last time I flew her was Monday...

Hi all, I have a damaged ESC in my S800 and no way to get a replacement at the moment. Does anyody know if it's possible to wire in a standard 40A ESC strapped to the the offending arm, as a workaround, or is there a reason why I shouldn't do this ? Thanks Eoin

Hi all, I've just configured a switch on my futaba T8FG for go home. I haven't been using that option up till now. Everything is working perfectly on the assistant but I'm just wondering if the blue LED should flash the same as failsafe ? At the moment when I flick to go home, the assistant...

Hi all, Just wondering if anybody is using 5.8Ghz on their S800 ? I have both Fatshark 100mW and Immersionrc 25mW transmitters and Fatshark googles and Immersionrc receiver. I am also using circular polarised and skew planner antennas. No matter which combination, I get picture breakup that is...

Hi all, My F450 has been lying idle for a few months since I took my Wookong out of it for my S800. Today I'm installing a Naza onto it and turning it into an FPV rig. I've settled on the layout and ideally would like to place the VU-Led close to the receivers position. Before I do, does anyone...

Hi all, I thought I'd post this as it might be of some interest to users here. When I built my Arducopter last year I loved the fact that the guys had integrated a system for adding navigation leds that were fully customisable. Since I started down the Wookong route I have missed these and...

Hi Guys, In a bit of a panic here. Have a job tomorrow with my Zenmuse . It arrived last week but this is the first time I have had a chance to set it up. Can anyone who has one please tell me the startup procedure ? According to the manual it should do a self test spinning an all three axis...

Hi all, I've decided to deal with the few issues I'm having with my S800 one at a time. Starting from the ground up, did anyone else receive an S800 with the leg bracing problem ? On my S800 the leg braces don't fit correctly. They can't be tightened as this causes a lot of strain on the...

Hi again all, Just been out with my S800 and am having some consistent problems. No matter which way I mount the GPS the S800 will begin flying in a straight line and then gradually yaw to the right. If it has any speed at all it will overshoot tremendously and yaw even more right when I let...

Hey, Anybody know if it's possible to cache an area your going to be flying in in M-view. I know I can do it if I leave the instance of M-view open but that means leaving my laptop in standby. I'm hoping I can just store the maps locally on my harddrive. Will be flying later in an area with no...

Hi all, I have spent the last few weeks looking for the 3M VHB adhesive pads that came with my Wookong but to no avail. I thought they were very good. I have tried various align mounting pads but feel there is too much dampening when using these. Can anyone suggest a good alternative to these...

Hi all. I'm having a difficult time getting a gps lock with my Wookong on my S800. I have the gps mounted on the pole just off the center of the top board, away from any other electronics. Because I have upgraded to 5.08 I thought it might just be a cold start and therefore taking a long time...

Hi all, Has anybody else found any problems with the bracing on the S800 landing gear ? I can't get it to line up without putting stress on the braces. I've followed the instructions carefully and I've taken it apart and put it back together multiple times. I know somebody on the rcgroup forums...

Hi all, Just got my S800 this morning ! :) Finishing it off at the moment and was just wondering where people are mounting their receivers ? Was hoping to mount it in the frame with the other electronics but I'm worried about interfering with my range. It's a Futaba R6208SB. Any thoughts ? Many...

Hi all, I received a message from DJI in regard to which lens I plan on using on my Nex with my Zenmuse. I replied that I plan on using a number of different lenses, all of which will be primes. Was this going to be a problem ? The answer informs me that I shouldn't use a zoom lens because of...

Hi all, Am considering splashing out on this gimble for my F450, http://tppacks.com/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=32&osCsid=0cc9eea47dcfced499852a280c0f4982 However I find the price is a little steep, particularly when coupled with import duty to Europe. Just wondering if anyone has any...

Gentlemen, Just posting this as a reminder of the dangers of Lipos. I sat down tonight to build a voltage regulated circuit to step down my 4s to 12 volts for my LED's. I was using a breadboard to test the circuit. To set it up I initially used a zippy 2500mah 6.6v 2s with a nano tech 4s...

Hi all, Just a quick battery question. Am upgrading my F450 and based on advice am switching to 4S batteries. Have been looking at the Turnigy Nanotech batteries on hobbyking. Does anyone have any experience of these ? Or can anyone recommend a good 4S battery if these aren't up to scratch ...
