    3DR Iris - 30 day wait. Huge disappointment!

    you could always join DiyDrones and drop chris anderson a direct PM… you're going to have a much greater chance of a response/resolution if you try the right people at the right place… but do report back to let us know how it goes.

    Does anybody have a TBS discovery Pro

    I suppose you could do a build without the gimbal assembly and add weight up front to get the CofG correct or you could build a regular (non-pro) discovery first - which would be easier to balance and once you're confident, simply swap to disco pro frame plates, using the same components...

    Does anybody have a TBS discovery Pro

    I have both a P2/H3-2D and a disco Pro. if I were buying again, I'd not have bothered with the P2. If you follow the disco pro build instructions carefully and use the tbs recommended parts (900kv motors and tbs esc), you'll have a better rig and the support from tbs is actually superb. They...

    CAA (UK) on the war path

    I enjoyed the workshop too, but did feel that there's a long way to go before there's some sort of operations framework / guidance within which we can build safety and risk cases AND know that we're covering all bases. Despite the CAA being on the war path, I'm also concerned that those of us...

    Naza v2 setup help needed badly!!!!

    On a 450 size quad, you might be better running something like the TBS esc's/900kV motors and 9" props. That should give you a very locked in quad - it works well on disco pros. if you look at the thread about kloner's aerial mob disco pro extensions over on fpvlab, you'll see that trappy...

    Odd loss of control mid flight

    thanks for the input… going to do a couple more packs this afternoon, which I'll film. I do however suspect there'll be issues when i attempt to get a replacement… :upset:

    Odd loss of control mid flight

    I've been doing the first few low level test flights with the Phantom 2 and H3-2D and have been having the same issue with each flight. After between 5:30-7:00 mins in the air it'll begin to yaw and wallow, loosing altitude as it goes. The first time it happened i was at head hight and i had...

    Zenmuse help

    I have an a/v pigtail for my gh2 zenmuse. I'm going to crimp it up for connection to an IRC vtx. The question is, do I need to split the ground so it goes to both the power connection and the gnd on the transmitter connector, or should I just have it going to the power connector? my gut feeling...

    DJI S1000 Owners Thread - Mini Build Log

    I wonder whether this design will trickle down to a new hexacopter?

    What type of Naza is inside

    Thought it might be worth chiming in here. I foolishly assumed that the flexibility of the original phantom (naza)would be carried on through to the new phantom 2. I was incorrect. I've been through the polite request route, but the bottom line and harsh reality is that the Phantom 2 is aimed...

    Phantom 2 with Zen Gains

    I upped my gains as it felt a bit sluggish to me. Flew it in a strong gusting breeze yesterday and it performed better than i expected. I can check, but my basic P and R are up at 140 IIRC

    WKM and H3-2D

    I've got 3 H3-2Ds, two on phantoms and one on the S800 with the WKM. the phantom (naza) based units work fine, no issues at all, but as above the WKM based unit is pretty flakey.

    WKM and H3-2D

    Been experiencing some issues with an H3-2D which i'm testing on my S800. The main issues is that the horizon keeps drifting, so if (on the bench) i tilt the S800 to one side, the gimbal will compensate for that, but when the S800 tilts back the horizontal will drift past level and remain on...

    Phantom 2 and Jeti DC-16 Tx: Conversion

    SUCCESS here too!!! Ive been using a futaba SBE-1 sbus adaptor - which is about £100 less than the DJI unit - I had all channels working except X1 which appeared to be dead in the Phantom 2 Assistant. In a last ditch attempt today, I clicked X1 calibrate and the channel suddenly sprung to...

    Phantom 2 with SBE-1 converter

    Just wondered whether anyone can offer some advice on this one. I've fitted a futaba SBE-1 sbus converter between my jeti receiver and the Phantom 2 naza. Looking at the RC pane in the Phantom assistant i can see that i now have a working connection with my radio of choice. HOWEVER, i seem to...

    Phantom 2 and Jeti DC-16 Tx: Conversion

    The other video with the R10 and A2, does seem to be genuine. However, PPM out on an R9 isn't currently available - coming in the next firmware update - and the phantom 2 assistant seems to be showing the connection type as sbus - which isn't currently supported (and there are no future plans...
