    Music Resouces for Our Video Producitons

    Recently on the Show What You Filmed thread there were some resouces shared regarding places to acquire music suitable for what we do. As such, I thought I'd start this thread and start with a list I have put together of places I have visited in an attempt to find music. Please chime in with...

    IMU Mount Options on S800

    As we all know, the IMU mount on an S800 with the anti-vibe kit means the taking apart the S800 isn't as easy if you glue/tape IMU on the tray as recommended. In my case I mounted the MC on top of the S800 and now unplug the IMU cable... but it is loosening that connection. Has anybody...

    Traveling to Europe with Phantom

    I have a friend that has a Phantom with a mounted GoPro and is traveling to Europe next month. He would like me to ask the gurus here if there are any concerns with equipment and frequencies that he has to worry about, or restrictions he needs to be aware of or permissions he has to apply for...

    Significant Vibration In GPS Mode Only

    So today I redid several things on my S800: - Replaced the tall GPS antenna pole with the short one (still 2-3 inches above the props) - Moved the IMU anti vibe tray to the front - Replaced one of the props - Updated the WKM to the latest version - Updated all of the settings in the...

    S800 Retracts Moving on Powerup

    For the last month I have been fighting an issue and I've talked to some people about it, but no solution yet. Basically, when I powerup the S800 with the transmitter already powered on, the retract legs go partway up, hold, then come back down. If I powerup the S800 first, then turn on the...

    Datalink 900MHz vs 2.4GHz

    Can some of you give me some ideas on which version is better? I understand one (I think the 900 MHz one) has further range. While the other is better around obstacles.

    3.7V or 80% for LiPos

    Two rules of thumb I've read around are: 1) Don't run the cells below 3.7V, and be 2) Don't use more than 80% of the battery capacity. These two rules don't seem to jive with each other, unless I'm just misunderstanding them. I started using voyage alarms a few weeks ago and set them to 3.7V...

    Power for LED lights on 6S battery

    Anybody have any suggestions on how to provide power to my LEDs with a 6S battery? LEDs have a 12V input, and I know I can go with a BEC for this, but I'm thinking cheaper and lighter, and someone told me that I can easily get a 12V DC output transistor from Home Depot or someplace like that...

    Video Connectors on MR

    I'm just curious what type of connectors people use for connecting video on their MR. I was thinking of using servo connector (Futaba / 'J' type) and using the (-) and signal pins (the two outside ones). Obviously I could go with the usual RCA and/or 1/8" plugs, but was thinking of using the J...

    Removal of S800 Arm Anchors from Top Plate

    I am trying to replace the top plate on my S800, and I am having a terrible time removing the 6 anchors for the arms. Each of those anchor points has two silver screws with a smaller than usual hex head (from what I can tell). My personal tool kit goes down to 1.5mm and that was too big. I...

    Naza-M Blinking 3 Red Even After Long Wait

    This has not been a good week for my helis. While my S800 is down for repair, I decided to take my F450+Naza out flying after a couple of weeks on the shelf. The problem now is that I am getting the three-red-blink constantly, even after 15 minutes of sitting outside with wide open skies. I...

    S800 ESC Replacement

    Oddly enough, I am not finding on the forum any discussions about S800 motor or ESC or arm replacement. After a crash this past week, I am needing to replace an arm on my S800. The ESC and motor are still good. Taking the arm apart I realized the S800 setup I a little different that other...

    DJI WKM Rate Limits with Transmitter when in Manual Mode

    This past week I sadly crashed my S800 with WKM, and at the heart of the problem was that the WKM was in Manual mode and I couldn't get it out of it, and I panicked. (It ended up being that the transmitter had another dependency build-in to the signal I was using, and overrode my Futaba SE...
