Have learnt to live with this. Live view to the monitor still works - just not quite as well as with H3+ . Footage to SD is unaffected and gimbal is jitter free. I wait with interest to see whether the new GoPro firmware due for release in Feb will improve the situation.

I'm experiencing poorer live view video quality with the Hero 4 black on H3-3D Zenmuse than with Hero 3+ in the same gimbal. I'm using a TS832 VTX on the craft and a Black Pearl RPSMA monitor. Signal is glitching when just a few feet away from the craft. Problem appears worse in PAL format...

Many thanks Olof!!

Olof, I too am about to configure S800 / Zen with 2 Futaba 8FGs with S-bus on R2008SB Rxs and would be interested in your settings. Thanks!

In the absence of this I've found a 3 way switch with up and down endpoints reduced to ~20% works reasonable well.

I’ll sum this up… With the original receiver bundled with the DX18, only 9 channels are available. Since the WKM MCU requires a minimum of 5 channels for craft control, only 4 are available for the gimbal. The X-Plus expander on the Spektrum DX18 allows for an additional 9 channels to be...

Zzr, Many thanks for sharing this!

Please let us know how you get on :02.47-tranquillity:

No takers on this query yet? Anyone out there using the DX18 radio with X-plus and the Z15??

It might be useful to initiate a discussion by users who have tested their S800 X, Y & Z settings for IMU and GPS to optimize these. Is it fair to assume that the Z axis COG on the S800 would, by default, be higher than that of a flat hex due to the upwardly inclined arms (motors are higher...

I've found in New Zealand, adjusting for magnetic declination has had a significant and positive effect on my GPS capability for both Naza and Wookong. Based on your location as a starting point try rotating the GPS antenna 14 degrees anti-clockwise. You can use a protractor to measure the...

Are you located in northern or southern hemisphere?

Since this happened to me at first test I didn't remove the insulation to investigate further as this was clearly covered by warranty. Our local distributor is pretty good about replacing on both occasions.

With mine I concluded that this was an intermittent loss of connection. Replacing the motor solved the problem and I've had many trouble free flights with the 2215 motors since replacing. Incidentally I experienced a similar issue with a 2212 and again replacing the motor resolved the issue. Colin

CC Phoenix 25A ESC In looking for these I notice that two different labels exist for the 25A CC Phoenix ESCs Both appear to have the same specs on the label. Are these internally identical - apart from the label & possibly older firmware, is there any difference between the two? Thanks, Colin

Hi I thought I would share the following short (~2.5 minute) water-borne video: a passing visit to New Zealand's Leigh Marine Reserve by sailing catamaran with aerial views flying over water using a quad multirotor launched from the foredeck and freediving glimpses of friendly snapper. Flying...

I have one on pre-order. Will report back once received & I've had a chance to test. Cheers, Colin

Rick Many thanks for the detail and all your efforts. Now that S800s are beginning to arrive in NZ I would think it useful to run the same tests on a larger DJI standardized unit. I wonder whether any NZ / Oz testing has yet been done using the S800? Achieving the same results on a completely...

Hi Rick Good to see you're getting some improvement and you certainly would have had good flying conditions over the weekend for your testing. Both my WKM units experience toilet bowl effects. I'm flying mainly in the Auckland / Northland regions and while GPS mode is better than ATTI mode, I...

On 2nd and 3rd videos apart from ESCs and payload, is everything else equal? Interesting brief startup noise on the CC Pheonix 25s: is this their signature sound? Your evidential comparison is very useful in showing differences. Good work!
