What 4s do you guys run, I was looking at the turnigy 5000mah, thats heeeeeavy!?

Hmm, maybe I am heavier than I think then since i'm running quadframe 215mm landing gear, rctimer nex gimbal, and 270g worth of camera which looks like it ought to be heavier than what I see in your pic. DJI state 478g IIRC for the 550 frame weight does anyone know if that includes the motors...

Really, I thought those motors were designed for 4s too and I thought 4s = 8" props no? What is generally considered the best battery and motors for this kind of setup?

I figured I'd chuck all the gear on he F550 and see how it performed. I've not physically weighed it but going on all the weight specs for the kit I have purchased it should be sitting around 1.7kg in total. I fired it up in my lounge and I was less than impressed, hard to get to ceiling height...

I figure it must be a limitation of this control board. I've bigger problems now anyway, after loading the F550 it's struggling with the weight. Going up is painful, coming down could be costly :( Cool vid, one day I might be able to make one of my own :D

That was my very first thought, but doesn't work.

Hi as per title really. I have a burshelss gimbal controller, im not really sure what it is as it came with a cheapo gopro gimbal but I robbed the board and used it on another gimbal, it works really well. I am using SimpleBGC to configure it, is there any way tell it to offset pitch a little...

heh, welcome to the world of technology my friend, everything we buy with regards to tech is a) rarely ever well tested and complete b) out of date the second it arrives through your letterbox. Unfortunately we are a world of beta testers! If you thought about it too much, you'd never buy...

Thanks Chris, I'll probably go off the balance port after checking the voltage, seems like the easiest option.

Yes indeed but I ordered the firefly today so hopefully wont be tool long before i am illuminated :) The manual is in german which isnt helpful, do you have an english copy? Also a few other questions, do you run yours from the RX? I need to run 2 leds off each of 3 outputs so I have to get...

Im not so worried about £17, its principle. I sent the seller another message and he/she replied with a one liner and that was a lie so I simply will not be buying anything from them. The german site looks perfect though, thanks!

Ahh, ok that makes sense. Any thoughts on the weights I posted up?

What's prop wash? I've already setup the gimbal, I need to go back and make some adjustments as I have gone too far, im using SimpleBGC and I have firmware 2.01. I don't want to see landing gear or arms/props in my photo or videos hence why I want to get the gimbal as far forward as I can get...

I do have a control board, I don't know what it is but it looks very similar to the other boards out there, it came with cheap gopro gimbal and I robbed it to use on the RCT gimbal, its not so bad to get setup, fine tuning is something that I'll need to spend time with as I still see a very tiny...

I am only putting a decent compact on it right now, that weighs in at 275 grams, I chucked a different gimbal (a cheap *** gopro gimbal) and the compact on top of the 550 and flew it around my lounge no bother, im hoping that the additional weight of the ASP gimbal would be manageable. I don't...

Sorry guys, I should have fully qualified this earlier, I am not using the gopro gimbal, its the 2axis gimbal for the NEX so is much bigger (because I want to lift a bigger camera than the gopro). 200mm isn't going to cut it, 300mm is where I need to be.

That's interesting, is that with the vertical adjustments on the gimbal at full stretch? I'm up in Aberdeen. I've found something in the stores at work which I am hoping I can use to mod the aeroxcraft gear but it won't look as sweet as a proper tool for the job.

With the RC Timer gimbal? What is the ground clearance as it's difficult to tell from the pics but it doesnt look like theres enough clearance there either. Looks like 190mm, I need like 230mm at full extension of the gimbal I think. Came across this which gives 295mm clearance I think...

I have an F550 and recently added an RC Timer gimbal to my inventory. Initially I had the AeroXCraft landing gear (which is very nice) but at full extension of the gimbal I dont have anywhere near enough ground clearance from the landing gear. Does anyone else run this setup and can you advise...
