    SOLD. TWO PZ0420 MINI 1/3 Sony CCD 600TVL Board Cams plus extras

    I have TWO virtually unused FPV cams. One has 2.8mm lens and other has 3.6mm. I believe both have removable IR filters. 600TVL with little to no delay. I am also including the case. I couldn't get either to work just right for me and was likely a hookup issue on my part. All cables & menu cords...

    Video Transmitters take another step forward

    Thanks Bart. The variable powers and voltage outputs are well thought out. Wanting to know if an LC power filter is still advisable or if DragonRider also included some of that too. If you talk to them I'd like to know. Regarding diversity, can't be a bad thing to consider. I'll see how my...

    Video Transmitters take another step forward

    Got one coming this week. Looked too versatile to pass up. Wonder if there is a power filter built in the circuitry (where main voltage comes in?)? Now to decide what corresponding RX module to use. Which power 25, 200 or 600? Advice?

    Things I Learned From My First Build

    Some good beginner tips. For temporary attachment of wires, etc. until you can clean up and zip-tie, I use narrow Velcro straps cut to short lengths. Not extremely tight fasteners but good enough for the interim. Advise use of Liquid Tape wherever to seal out moisture and corrosion. I've coated...

    Need Some FPV Advice

    I could use some help. * What to make Lipo plate out of...G10/FR4 or Carbon fiber? Under my F550 (now an F650) frame bottom plate, I will be fab'ing a battery plate. My frame top plate is already carbon fiber. My gut feeling is to use G10/FR4 instead of CF to reduce chance of FPV or Radio...

    Dji Naza Glitching

    Firmware Having just revisited the issue today while building a plane, I would recommend one thing. I have found the solder used on most overseas devices to be some God-awful stuff. I can't melt it with anything less than a propane torch. I know how to solder well and have the right irons and...

    SkyJib Octocopter for Filmmaking with RED Epic

    Pdb Thanks. A shallow wallet is the Mother of invention. They are Hyperions but anything will work. What I never use is those expanded "watermelon" bullets. Over time the tongues seem to break especially if no anti-spark is used. I like solid metal barrels and I always add a bit of dielectric...

    SkyJib Octocopter for Filmmaking with RED Epic

    DIY Power distribution I made my power distribution with 10ea sets of connectors (20 connectors total). All connectors are Dremel-notched on back end and soldered to a thick copper washer. It's sandwiched between layers of circuit board material (FR4) and well insulated with liquid tape all...

    S800 issue

    PhotoBob. Would like to see how that works out. I always wondered about using those zip ties on the IMU casing. Seems it could cause vibrations since they can't fasten tightly (or too tight). Small Velcro straps might be better if the sticky tape won't hold from the bottom by itself. But have...

    6 Motor Failures. What is this noob doing wrong.

    Motors It doesn't matter of the bolts are stock or long or short etc. It matters what effect they have on the motor windings. Further away the better and flush with the inside of the motor can is best. Too much Loctite can be a bad thing but getting sidetracked. I want to know what happens...

    6 Motor Failures. What is this noob doing wrong.

    Before changing and adding more equipment right now, did you ever check the mounting bolts as suggested? The bolts should not protrude into the motor case at all and even a slight recess is good. Just use Loctite. The bolts can physically touch the windings or cause interference. Checking the...

    Unable to select intelligent Orientation Control in the Naza Software

    Consider drilling and tapping the base alum piece (and I do top piece also). Fit a small bolt in and tighten against the pole. Allows you to rotate and remove pole. I later substitute an aluminum dowel for pole. EGG.

    Dji Naza Glitching

    If you were flipping and hitting before you changed firmware and are still hitting and flipping afterwards, sounds like either a pilot or aircraft build problem. Most MR's don't take off straight. Rebuild the whole aircraft and check everything from battery on. Read the NAZA manual and try to...

    S800 issue

    Vibes I'm picking up good vibrations (Beach Boys). There you go, folks. One dummy + One expert = One pretty good idea. Sure wish I could hang with you one day. Fascinated with "eggbeaters" all my life. To the Canadian gentleman, I just PM'd you. Change of heart. Probably ain't balance. Fix...

    S800 issue

    I have a slightly diff angle on this vibration issue. All models will vibrate and at diff. frequencies. The S800 has more of it's share due to weaker arms than say a thick-walled 25mm CF tube (or alum). But the real danger and source of the irritation is the IMU internal dampening. A lot of...
