Louis i had a multi fire up to full power during an upgrade (from memory I think it was 5.22??) glad it had no props on. Agree with the Evo its a pain in the backside so I either use overside cable ties or netting (eventually I will make a 'cup' that I can place over each motor to mechanically...

Hey Louis I have seen people use 2 tx at the same time - they had it set up on a tray and shoulder strap. Their workflow was to get to where they wanted to make the shot on the main controller - go into GPS lock then control the camera with the second controller. A bit tedious I know but if...

Hi Blayne are you running traditional props on your Evo now? no issues with fitment?

cfrea 2 of mine are quite tight - ongoing use they will loosen, may need pliers to assist with first couple of uses

My gains with two 5050 lipos and GH2 Zenmuse are around the 170 and 130 mark - this gives me quite smooth flying and makes the craft far less twitchy. I agree the gains may be a cause to your vibrations and you need to dial these in but the 'shudder' I see in your Zenmuse is the same that I had...

Hi Topflight mine are all about 3mm from touching them and when I lift the S800 they are even further - that is with the Z15 and GH2 plus the 2 lipos mounted The only time these would ever touch is maybe on a heavy landing - as long as the blocks are aligned Im not sure the aligning of the...

Topflight none of my arms touch the top of the the blue absorbers and in flight these obviously compress downwards away from the arms - having them actually make contact would be undesired I would think. They are all fairly consistent in their distance from the arms and I make sure the blocks...

Hey Topflight post a pic mate so we can see exactly what you are talking about - I will check mine and report back. Torque wrenches of the requirement can often be found at cycle shops - I dont have one yet but Im thinking its going to be more of the feel of the props and using enough/correct...

Hi Louis certainly no expert but gaining knowledge all the time :) ESC state for the Evo is found on Page 19 here: http://download.dji-innovations.com/downloads/s800evo/en/S800_EVO_User_Manual_v1.00_en.pdf There is no reference to any state of the LED as you describe - some older or original...

U need a torque wrench to measure the NM of force applied to tighten Tokens or markings to see if any of the bolts have loosened - similar as the Evo's come from the factory - the white paint markings Definitely need loctite - medium strength DJI website says: How tight should I fasten the...

Brett here is the video As you can see on one of my flights I had the same problem as you before I realised what the cause was.

This is definitely your problem I was able to recreate it several times yesterday - I have a video somewhere showing how much it vibrates - it is not like a typical prop or motor vibration which are usually high frequency small movement - what you and I have or had are very large vibrations...

Thanks for the reply bordhead, my issue is definitely the props, she flies a treat now after working on it further today. two props in particular no matter how high the throttle would not align, if I did it manually though and aligned them as best I could she flew fine. So off with the bolts...

Hi Bordhead thanks for the offer, I noticed today that the frame of the S800 Evo will shake quite badly if the props are not aligned. Some of them from the factory are quite tight and do not move into alignment under centrifugal force - have you had any issues with this and what is the fix from...

Brett I think I have the issue in hand - need to check how easily the props can move under centrifugal force to the correct position - one of my front arms is very tight and it didnt line up exactly where it should and the shudder was evident. Stopped the motors and aligned and was then good to...

Brett I noticed similar on my craft, after getting the retracts working though it was no longer an issue but I will fly again today to check - I would expect the top assembly to vibrate but not the bottom - look forward to getting to the bottom of it all!!

Ive never used them but I think they are great - Im in Australia and the provide heaps of advice to me and Im not a customer!! There are some good people still out there :)

Chris awesome place a lot like here in SW of Western Australia Im sure!! Topflight Chris has suggested an aftermarket battery tray in a previous post that looks the goods - right now I am doing the same as you and although its not rigid I feel its ok for the time being. Im flying on 5.16 -...

Thanks for your words Chris and all your help to date - as you can see I have put a lot of what you have said into practice, learnt a few tricks along the way and thoroughly enjoyed the build process, only had to do a couple of things twice :) Have you unpacked yet and when will you fly the...

Hi Steve I will put up some more pics tomorrow - the main antenna is definitely at 90 degrees but they also angle upwards so it makes it look a little deceiving. My batteries are all Carbonbird 6S 5050mah from http://www.multiwiicopter.com/ - for some reason doesnt have the 6S on his website...
