Perhaps your right but I use that setup for my quad to power my FPV transmitter only and have noticed no difference in flying time other than cutting a lot of weight off the setup from the no longer needed 3 cell battery. My FPV camera is a GoPro which has its own battery.

Simply make a plug that fits onto the balance plugs on your battery and choose three cells off of the setup instead of 4. Works for me.

I use a 4 cell lipo for my F450 quad. I use a FPV and GoPro camera for filming and fpv. The fpv is powered by a 3 cell so I just made a connector that connects only three cells of the lipo for it off of the balance lead. Works perfectly.

Imovie for a mac does stabilization.

If....IF your sure that the rotation is correct on each motor, then I'd suggest throttling the speed up faster and get the copter into the air. The time between on the ground and a couple feet in the air is/can be a very unstable time. You have to get past the ground effect to see the quad...

Update on my problem: The original servo was a used one and I guess it just gave up. Replacement servo was brand new but not too high on the quality list. It was faulty right out of the box. Next servo works perfectly. BTW: heres a link to the YouTube video that I used to facilitate the...

NAZA, F450, GPS. I have been using a 6 channel Spektrum receiver for months on the above with complete success. I found a way to operate the shutter button on my GoPro with a servo but that required a 7 channel receiver. Made the switch and used 6 channels exactly in the way the 6 channel...

I'd like to be able to use the Go Pro shutter button by use of a servo to snap pictures or start stop videos. I'm aware that the wifi option with smartphone is there and I have it but the range is really poor and unpredictable. I'd like to use a simple servo to activate the shutter button but...

OK.........color me stupid. I got so excited at the though of having the GPS tucked away and making the total package a bit easier to store in transit. I like the idea of the crimping of the aluminum base. I'll try that. I also use a piece of velcro strap to wrap around the cord to the...

F450 quad - NAZA - GPS - GoPro I saw a link where the editor/writer mounted the GPS upside down to keep the bulk of the F450 smaller. http://flitetest.com/articles/f450-quadcopter-fun If possible, do you use the same configuration on the setup to achieve proper orentation???? Has anyone done...

I've tried several of the cheap low resolution cameras on my quad. No gimble. They gave generally poor performance. I recently got a new smartphone. My old smartphone had a pretty good little camera on it so I make a mount with velcro to mount the old smartphone and it has given me some...

OK. You guys are playing with my mind. My IOC means that the copter flys in a forward direction (as deemed forward at takeoff) no matter which way the copter is actually facing. Even it its spinning on its axis, forward is forward and left is left etc. Mine is set up that way and it has no...

OK, I did have the GPS unit facing directly straight forward. BUT: thats the exact same position is has always been since I started flying it last Jan. After the original programing hickup that I started this thread with I just assumed that the same position was good again. Turns out it...

New problem since I re-programed to original settings. Now my quad won't really hover in place in GPS mode. It doesn't drift in wind like ATT but it will not stay in a one meter vicinity in a breeze. It seems like it wants to always drift in the same direction. I've checked my GPS placement...

Good suggestion but the points are still (on the other functions) pretty much dead center of blue. The slider between RTH and OCS was all the way over to RTH. Not centered but in the blue. I just can't figure out how it managed to go all the way, half way across the screen, from OCS to RTH...

F450 quad, NAZA, GPS, 2200 mah 3 cell, 10" props, DX7S radio My programing hasn't changed since I got the quad in January. Today, first battery everything normal. OCS, GPS, mode. Second battery, the quad would drift as if it were in ATT mode, kind of a circular pattern about 10yards circle...

Thanks, what is TH?

Where do you fly? My home base is Albuquerque but we winter in AZ and CA.

The list could be very lengthy but: Like most people we may compile a very complete list but in the real world, we kind of wing it. (no pun on words) My gotta do before every flight, EVERY FLIGHT is: 1. I do check the voltage of the battery. 2. First flight of the day I do flex and examine...

Thanks for the reply. (Still think its too easy )
