I was looking at one of these the other day. But Gearbest and my bank don't get along. PayPal is not an option for me. Long story. So I settled on this from LighTake for less than $20.00. Had the Syma out today. Kinda hazy with little wind. Upgraded battery to 600mAh and got an 11 minute...

For the time being I am charging them one at a time. Until I get a "multi-harness" built or purchased, that's the way I have to do it. But the charge times are reduced considerably. Where the stock USB charger took up to 90 minutes or more, I average between 55 and 65 minutes with the iMax. I...

I've been using the iMax B6 LiPo Balance charger and haven't had any complaints. I'm averaging 8-10 minutes on the 500mah stock battery since using it. (No camera and no prop guards) I got my four 600mah batteries today. First thing I did was charge them with the iMax charger. It's well worth...

What charging rates would you, yourself, use? I'm up for experimenting and would really like to find a "common" practice with this little lipos.

Last update for today. Charging: Charge time - 35:55 Charge rate - 1.0A End voltage - 4.2V Current (milliamps) - 492ma (per the iMax display) Flight: Pre-flight voltage - 4.18V Post LVC - 3.43V Flight time - 8:46 So the way I'm seeing this, charging the battery using the iMax is the route to...

Welcome to the addiction LOL Of the ones listed in the article, I am only familiar with the Syma X5C-1. Love this thing! Easy to fly and learn and is VERY durable. (I can attest to it from the 20+ crashes I gave it in the beginning.) Another one I have is a "nano" quad from Viper, the m200 Nano...

Update: I ventured out this morning into a light haze and winds about 5-7mph with gusts to around 15mph. Wow, what a learning experience! :eek: But loads of fun! Here's what I got: Pre-flight voltage: 4.19V Post LVC voltage: 3.37V (after shut down and cooling period) Flight time: Approx. 9:45...

Wasn't able to fly much yesterday due to high winds. Today looks a lot better so I will take measurements before and after. What amperage rate would you suggest to charge these batteries? I was under the impression to keep these charging at around 1C rate. I'll even try to get a little video...

The battery is rated at 500mah, hence the reason for setting at .5A. If you're asking did I measure right after charging, yes. 4.14 volts then after 10 minutes or so the 3.9v reading.

Firstly, if this is in the wrong place, please move it. My subject is kind of broad. Here's my situation; My Syma X5C-1 USB battery charger seems to be failing. In the beginning, about 15 or 20 charges ago, it would charge the battery and shut off the LED to indicate it was done. Now, the past...

Have you looked at Sony Movie Studio 13 Platinum? http://www.sonycreativesoftware.com/moviestudiope/features For the price I think it's a viable solution.

Are you transferring the image(s) directly to the PC using a USB cable? Sending images via text or email can sometimes degrade the image due to compression and resizing. Just a thought.

I saw that a few days ago. I like that he brought up the 8th Amendment. It's one most people don't know or remember. The excessive fines they plan on imposing is ridiculous. And could be construed as breaking the 8th Amendment.

Nothing/nobody within 100 miles of me.

Nice thread! I'm still in the "crash and learn" stages, but I think I'm getting better. Took my X5C-1 and Sky Viper 950HD to the field behind my house this morning. Very little wind, maybe 2mph gusts. A little overcast, but temps WAY above normal for this area. I only downed both units maybe 2...

Have you tried opening the CD/DVD "folder" to see if there is a setup.exe or other similar program? While holding the Windows logo key (usually second from left on bottom row) simultaneously press the "E" key to enter Explorer. You should see a window similar to the My Computer window showing...

"It doesn't hurt. Honest. Just give me back my finger and let me play through."

Thanks Jackson! I have the same charging station. So I'll look at all the cables it came with and verify. It would be much easier and better to charge with this unit than the USB supplied power charger.

Excellent! Thanks so much.

Hey Thomas, I found some info. I was right in my suspicion that the yellow wire is the trigger wire. Here's a video on YouTube kinda explaining the pinouts. (Fast forward to 3:30) The yellow wire requires a pulse to trigger. But the pulse(s) need to be of a certain duration. So I'm not sure if...
