    Turnigy 2.2mah 3s batteries starting to swell? (enlarge)

    Especially after flying or charging, a couple of my Turnigy batteries are getting rather "balloonish" Although they still hold a good charge. Is this common? Or am I eventually going to have a flaming acid explosion either during the charge or during flight?

    Flight controls too sensitive for video..how do I "dampen" them?

    Maybe I just need more practice, but the slightest movement of the sticks tends to over-react or jerk the quadcopter. I was hoping for more smoothness. This is what I have: Homebuilt DJI 550 Hexacopter Naza V2 FrSky Taranis X9D Plus X8R Receiver PropDrive 800KV 20-30S Afro 30amp ESC 10 inch...

    How to program on/off switch on transmitter to activate camera recording

    I purchased a FPV camera with recording ability and integrated transmitter (FX787T 5.8G 200mW 40CH AV Transmitter). It has the option to activate the record function remotely. Assuming I solder a wire to the "record control" and run that to an available channel of my X8R Receiver, then assign a...

    Recommendations and question about transmitter-receiver monitor choice

    I'm at the point where I'm shopping for a transmitter, receiver and monitor for the hexacopter I've built. I'm using a GoPro Hero 4 and a Tiny 2 3 axis gimbal. This is not for distance flying, just aerial photography so I don't think the wattage is a big issue (although your thoughts may...

    General question about hooking my my gimbal to my X8R

    I'm building my hex and still trying to understand my radio receiver and transmitter. I finally got a 3 axis gimbal and I just have a couple questions to get started with it. My radio is a FrSky and a X8R Receiver. My gimbal is a Zhiyun ZI-Tiny2. My flight controller is a Naza v.2. I was told...

    3 Axis Gimbal suggestions for GoPro Hero 4 on a Flamewheel Hex

    This should probably be posted in the newbie forum but I thought I'd go right to the experts. I recently completed building my DJI Flamewheel hexacopter with a Naza v.2, a Taranis X9D Plus transmitter with a X8R receiver. My intent (besides having fun) is to get some nice video footage with my...

    What kind of transmitter are you using with your Naza?

    I'm using a Devo7 and there seems to be a communication problem between that and my Naza v.2. I'm sure there is a workaround but the Devo just doesn't seem to be a quality piece of equipment. I think I will upgrade my transmitter. Another member mentioned the Taranis? Someone else recommended a...

    Is anyone using a Devo7 with their Naza?

    I am sooo close. I'd having trouble programming the Devo7. Is it just me or are there better and easier transmitters out there? I admit I didn't pay a lot of money for it, but it's awkward to program and flimsy. I have programmed the control mode switch but if I turn off the transmitter it does...
