    need help with dji phantom 2 vision!!

    I would guess something is wrong with the naza due to the crash. Kind of funny that it passed every check you gave it though, like IMU cal and compass cal. Don't hold your breath waithing for a reply from DJI. Is there a way you could get your hands on another naza to swap out with just to try it?

    Almost had a fly away

    So I'm flying my Turbo Ace X-830 (without FPV) and it got too far away and I got all twisted up and couldn't tell if it was going away or coming towards me. Then I started stressing out and just kept making it worse and worse. After about a half mile I said screw it and just cut the throttle so...

    Features in a transmitter

    I would get a 8 ch xmtr. You need 4 ch for basic flight but your flight controller may have different modes like gps/man etc or rth so extra ch's come in handy. Power outputs for radio xmtrs are rarely advertised and range is subjective to conditions like terrain and other sources of...

    GoPro Hero 3 Substitute?

    I have an SJ4000 (and a gopro) I like it more than the gopro in some ways. It's only drawback is that it doesnt have a wifi remote. Other than that it has enough features to do most everything you want in a quad camera. The gopro has more featuers and options but 4 times the price as well. It...

    High pitch squeal from motors... FIX.

    Thanks. So much to learn. If you bought ESC's that were pre flashed you would never even know.

    DJI DT7 Transmitter

    It probably doesnt have to be matched perfectly. It's just a switch.

    Problem with my throttle setting

    Ok I finally got some time off work to test fly the turbo ace X-830. I calibrated the ESC'c and an email exchange with wow hobbies claimed that it was just the nature of the naza v-2 to require that much throttle input to run the motors. When I had it tethered to the ground it seemed like the...

    Hubsan X4 liftoff issues

    Did it fly after putting on the props? It's easy to get them on backwards. Just trying to eliminate every possible thing.

    Do quadcopters float?

    No they dont float and no you shouldnt get them wet. That being said you could make it so it does float but you would be adding weight to what looks like a fairly small quad so it may not work. As cool as this hobby is and as cool as some of the applications are that you see on the web there are...

    Quadcopter for beginners

    Yes Smokey is right. You cant have it all for that price. Be careful about buying a used quad, make sure it has everything you want and need and watch it fly before buying. FPV is a step that may be best taken after you get a little stick time under your belt and have some practical experience...

    Cameras for quadcopters...

    I put "Haktoys HAK909" in the search box on the amazon website and the camera for it came up on the same page as the quad. Looks like its plug and play with the proper connectors and everything. Not sure why they just dont sell it all together.

    Hello, guys

    Buy an aftermarket brushless gimbal. A servo operated gimbal uses the flight controller to provide its operational commands. Get a gimbal with it's own onboard controller, You will only have to route power to it. It has its own internal gyro etc and controls itself without the need to plug into...

    Hubsan X4 liftoff issues

    Yes. it sounds to me like there may be a rub somewhere if it worked one time and then did not have enough power to lift off a second time. Are to props press fitted? They may be loose.

    brush type motor 1 of 4 slow WL V959

    You might try to get all of your trim settings back to there middle positions and start again. I was playing with one of mine that I had anchored and when the trim would get way out of wack the motors would stop turning etc. A brushed motor will wear out eventually and need repair or...

    350 QX2 or Phantom Vision+

    Well I don't know a lot about the blade 350 but the DJI phantom is a proven winner. It works perfect right out of the box and there is a ton of info available out there on them. Parts are easy to come by and with the options of a gimbal and FPV you dont have to risk and iffy aftermarket mod...

    Quad Crashing Issues

    Well it doesnt look like your props stopped or anything wierd like that. It doesnt even seem like they slowed down from the tone of the audio. Is it infrequent or all the time? does it fly ok normally and these are just 2 fluke incedents? Are your gains set too low? When it happens are you...
