    If a Phantom can handle it.....

    So guys, I'm curious. I just flew my 550 for her maiden flight after adding all this weight with the H3-3D gimbal. I threw an iOSDMarkII in there since I had it. I kept her in simple in a hover just to see how my flight times would diminish from my previous flights with this craft unladen. I...

    H3-3D 2 person setup Futaba T8FG

    Can you guys offer me some advice? I'm confused on how to setup the H3-3D as a dual operator setup. my F550 just uses NAZA so can I simply connect a 2nd receiver for my Camera Op 8FG from SBUS to the X1 on the Naza? So far that isn't doing anything and my Pilot 8FG is connected SBUS to Naza X2...

    ZH3-3D / ZH3-2D Mounting Adapter for Flame Wheel 550

    I feel like an idiot. Can someone please clarify how this mounting plate for the H3-3D for f550 flamewheel is supposed to attach? I can't find any info online about it and its anything but obvious. The holes in the wing parts to the sides don't line up with any existing screws for the top or...

    iOSD Mark ii DAT files - flight logs HELP

    Does anybody here know how to actually read the information you can import into the iOSD data viewer? The only scale that makes any sort of sense is the main voltage, the rest is pretty meaningless to me. I need help diagnosing a problem. Thanks

    Zenmuse stability thoughts

    I've been flying my Z15 with a NEX7 since around August 2013 and I have to say, I haven't ever been blown away by the out of the box stabilization. I've always had some level of pops, bumps, or shakes that need post stabilization in Premiere or AE. Just wondering how everyone elses experiences...

    Alexmos wha??????

    Being the owner of a simple plug and play no nonsense Zenmuse gimbal which i find to be "ok" I've decided I want to turn my brain to absolute mush and try and understand what the alexmos stabilization rigamarole is all about. Without asking a million questions here, where can I go to find out...

    Gimbal Balancing the Pan Axis pros/cons?

    Hey guys, just curious what your thoughts are. If I turn my s800 frame on end (90 degrees), my Zenmuse is nowhere close to staying in any position I want (manual rotation) for panoramic rotation. Obviously when the frame/gimbal is it's normal position there's really no stress placed on the PAN...

    Possibly a silly question about the LIPO 80% rule

    I'd just like to get verification of this "rule" Things I've read make it sound that the 80% used is what is shown remaining AFTER a flight is complete and the battery is at rest (put it on my charger and it will show 20% remains - or basing it on mAh put back in during a charge. - 4000mAh back...

    Zenmuse IR LED Shutter... sometimes works, sometimes not

    SOOOOO FRUSTRATING. All day yesterday my shutter and video TX switch worked just fine. Today, camera in, No auto shutter control. ARGHHHH. This is not the first time this has happened but I have no idea what the problem could be to troubleshoot. Taking the camera in and out seems to be my only...

    Calling all Zenmuse owners... I need your help!

    Since I'm not rich enough to have another one of these just laying around yet, I was hoping you all could help me. Out of curiosity, after watching the video of the guy balancing his zenmuse after installing the Zeiss lens (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jv0Xc67beE0), I wanted to see how...

    S800 Motor housing issue???

    I noticed this morning during my pre-flight checks that one of my motor housings is significantly loose. I mean it has a lot of up/down travel to it. Now I say ALOT, its really what, .5 - 1 mm of movement but considering my other 5 are really stiff and have no vertical movement, I'm wondering...

    Confused about my LIPO Voltage and Alarms

    This is really curious to me, perhaps someone can explain. So the other day I was flying and I threw two voltage alarms on my packs balance connectors. First one was set to 3.7, second was set to 3.6 As I flew I was watching my telemetry voltage readout and it was showing me 20.4 under load...

    To those of you who have the DJI Retractable landing gear....

    I was wondering how much weight the DJI retractables added to your S800 setups and how much it impacted your flight times if at all. I already feel like I'm on the edge of max weight and I'm afraid to shorten my flight times significantly as I'm only getting around 10 minutes as it is...

    s800 carbon prop balancing question.

    Do you guys have any ideas how to balance the carbon props precisely? When I throw them my Dubro balancer I have no issue balancing the airfoil itself but its obvious that my prop hubs have a heavy and light side. I can't really take enough material off the hub area to make a significant...

    Zenmuse/Nex7 raw footage question

    I was just curious how everyone else's raw footage was looking before doing any post work to it. Mine has a really obvious shake to it even though I have the anti-vibration kit installed as well. It's easily correctable with Warp Stabilizer in AE/Premiere but I was kind of hoping it wouldn't...

    Wondering if my Zenmuse startup is normal

    Hey guys. Just curious if after initialization, if the swing back and the stutter forward at the 14 second mark of my linked video and subtle drift is something normal that you all experience as well or if I might have an issue? https://vimeo.com/71460331. Thanks.

    Folding GPS on s800 EVO

    So this seems like a really cool idea. Anybody think/know if this part is available for sale on its own? How about other solutions? I'd love to hear what you guys have done on your own. This looks smart but no clue where to get these parts...

    Zenmuse limits question

    Any thoughts as to why the Zenmuse would limit roll angle to 25 degrees left or right? Seems strange to me though I'm sure someone had a good reason. Also I'm wondering why pan angle is limited in Orientation-locked Mode to 44 degrees left or right and then drifts back to center. what's the...
