    FPV problem - help please!

    Hi all, I have a DJI F550 with GoPro 3 and an FPV setup of ImmersionRC iOSD and 5.8Ghz TX. It's worked fine for a year or so, until today! I decided to tidy up the setup today by putting a couple of the components under the top plate, but by the time I'd finished and went for a test flight...

    DJI F550 - better gimbal?

    Hi, I've got an Aeroxcraft brushless gimbal on my F550 that's about 1 year old now. I get reasonable results from it, but the overall stability/performance of the gimbal isn't as good as I've seen from others. Does anyone have experience of the Aeroxcraft gimbal AND the Zenmuse H3 3D gimbal...

    Best settings for GoPro Hero 3

    Hi all, I've always shot in 1080p wide screen with my Hero 3, but now that I want to bring together some of that footage with what I'm getting from my GH4, I need to 'align' the look a little. So, what settings do you use when you have to blend Hero 3 footage that tends to be too wide angled...

    Anyone using the Ground Station on an S900?

    I'm still getting used to my S900 and haven't been brave enough yet to use the Ground Station for an automated flight. Is anyone on here using it with an S900 and what are your thoughts? Cheers, Dom.

    Zenmuse GH4 HD lead and shutter trigger cable

    Hi all, Given how weak these 2 cables are, I feel that I may need a spare of each in my flight box! Does anyone in the UK know where I can get them? I'm referring to the 2 leads that you need to plug into the GH4 when you put it in the gimbal for HD output and the shutter trigger. Thanks, Dom.

    Balance lead extensions

    Hi all, I'm getting increasingly frustrated with the stupid short balance lead on my 6C battery packs. I'm thinking of getting a couple of these for when I need to connect the balance lead to the balance board when charging...

    Battery life and flight times

    Hi All, Had the first flights with my new S900 the other day and have a question relating to flight times and battery life. I'm using 10400mAh 6C packs. Mt aircraft is right on the 7kg mark and I'm looking for 9 mins flight time from each pack. I need to review the level 1 and 2 battery...

    A2 Assistant for Mac - anyone got it working?

    Hi all, I've downloaded the A2 Assistant for Mac v1.4 and, as soon as I open it, it crashes and closes automatically. Anyone else had this issue or found a solution to it? I don't have a Windows PC anymore so I need to find a way to manage the A2 with a Mac. Thanks, Dom.

    GH-4 - focus question

    Hi all, I took my first footage on the GH-4 today using the Ronin. Very impressed with the image quality, but I clearly need to make some changes to the setup as I've discovered that anything closer than about 6ft is out of focus. I had the camera set on: Rec Format: MOV Rec Quality: FHD...

    Music for a showreel

    Hi all, Easy question really; I want to find some cool music for a showreel, but don't want to infringe copyright of some hard working artist. Is there anywhere where I can find tracks that can be used freely without any issues? Thanks, Dom.

    Flying a GH-4, would you go for a DJI S900 or a well built Skyjib 6?

    Just interested in the views of those with experience in both platforms. The question's in the title… so what route would you go down and why? Cheers, Dom.

    Battery level warnings in Naza Flight Assistant

    Hi all, I'm having some issues getting the level 1 and 2 warnings right on my F550 running 4S packs. I have a mix of 5000mAh, 6000mAh and 4300mAh packs. The issue I have is that I still seem to have a lot of charge in the packs after a relatively short flight. I'm playing with the settings...

    Preferred video editing software

    Hi All, I've decided to embark on a massive change in career and setup a humble aerial filming business. I'm working on all the logistics that I need to get in place before I can launch, but need some advice from those with more experience. I have no intention of becoming a post production...

    Hardcase LiPo batteries for multi rotor - a good or bad thing?

    Another battery question…. Do hardcase LiPo batteries work as well in MR's as standard ones or is there no difference? I just wondered whether the hard case caused them to get hotter and potentially become a fire risk. Thanks, Dom.

    Dumb battery question

    I feel really dumb asking this, but here goes. I've always used 4s 14.8v packed on my F550. Can I use 3s packs and interchange them with 4s in the field without changing anything in the setup? I know very little about batteries (as you can probably guess!) but swopping a 14.8v pack for an...

    Newbie question - DJI F550 and FPV using GoPro 3

    Hi All, First post, so be gentle :-) I've got my first multi-rotor (DJI F550) which has a gimball for my GP3. I'd like to add Fat Shark FPV, but have a couple of questions: 1) Is it possible to have the GP3 recording vidoe whilst also acting as the output camera for the FPV.... or do I need...
