    Building a 550 soon, question...

    I will try and respond more comprehensively later, however that seems like a complete kit. One note though, if you install the H3-3D, you need to make sure you buy the version that comes with the GCU. Also, if you install it, you need to put a camera on the gimbal otherwise it will get...

    Buying Lipo Batteries in the UK

    Perfect thank you. Yes HK were great. Next day delivery from the UK warehouse. I bought the adapters from eBay in the end as HK didn't have them in the UK. Thanks

    Buying Lipo Batteries in the UK

    Hi All. I need of some 4s 4500mah batteries for my 550. Just wondering if anyone has any advice as to where to buy them from? I also need to get HXT to XT60 adapters I would have thought as my copter is on XT60. Thanks in advance.

    Painting P2 shell (for non artist)

    +1. Don't use metallic paint. I just used model spray paint on mine. Worked a treat.

    Converting Phantom 2 to F550? Do-able?

    Thanks for your help. So rather than stripping it, i think we will keep it complete, buy a F550 RTF kit and then put a 3D Gimbal and video TX stuff on. Am I correct in thinking that the NAZA-M that will come with the F550 RTF kit will need a GCU in addition for the H3-3D? Or is it built in...

    Converting Phantom 2 to F550? Do-able?

    Hi All, Hope you can help. I have received much help in the phantom forums in the past. We have a phantom 2, with FPV and H3-3D gimbal, but wish to upgrade to a 550 so that we can move the camera forward and generally get a more stable shot. How much of the Phantom can be stripped down to...

    New Carbon Props Losing Altitude

    I agree, but at the same time, I flew a phantom yesterday with carbon props and it was steady as a rock. So they obviously do work, just wondered if there were any settings to tune? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    New Carbon Props Losing Altitude

    Hi All, I bought these carbon props from HeliPal. http://www.helipal.com/9443-carbon-prop ... w-ccw.html However when fitted the quad is all over the place, doesn't hover well at all and when flying it loses altitude. Any thoughts what could be causing this? They are 9443 so should be...

    Violent flip on take off

    Thanks for your help guys. It's certainly not a lack of authority in take off. I've flown a phantom every day now for 6 months, I have 2 of them and know them well. The one that won't fly is a client of ours and we suggested we took a look for him. We assumed it would be pilot error but...

    Violent flip on take off

    Hi All, Been trying to get a phantom working all day to no avail. Pre cursor to this; Quad is brand new. Sat lock OK, compass calibrated. Full calibration happened. Software shows input from controller accurately. So upon take off, the start up procedure is OK, the props start up fine. As...

    GoPro 3 Black Time Lapse Mode

    Set the camera up to take video and photos at the same time. Problem solved. No black when you take photos. Film in 1440 though otherwise the images are compressed. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Fixing DJI's Compass Problem

    I wrote back to DJI on Facebook, and suggested that two videos weren't really enough proof that the problem doesn't exist. I got this reply; I told them they were welcome to have mine for testing if they give me one without a problem. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
