    FC40 and a Walkera G2D Gimbal

    I finally have it working OKAY. I added 3 metal plates adding a total weight of about 36 grams to the FC-40 camera. I see a lot of people only had to add a small ammount of weight but that did not work for me. I got rid of the shaking and it seems to work okay, however, I am still having...

    New FC40 / Walkera Gimbal

    I already posted this in another thread before coming across this one. I installed the G-2D on my FC40, powered everything up and connected to software. I enabled the Gimbal. I tried to calibrate the X1 stick but I'm not sure if I'm doing it right. I adjust the V1 and the camera stopped shaking...

    FC40 and a Walkera G2D Gimbal

    Ok, I installed everything, powered everything up and connected to software. I enabled the Gimbal. I tried to calibrate the X1 stick but I'm not sure if I'm doing it right. I adjust the V1 and the camera stopped shaking as if it were having a seizure (jellowing?) It now sits there pointing...

    FC40 and a Walkera G2D Gimbal

    I just got my Walkera g-2d. I have watched the videos and read some post but I just hoping for some clarification. I installed the tilt lever on my transmitter. I know I need to connect one of the included cables from the pitch on Walkera to the F2 on the NAZA. Do I need to connect the other...

    Decent gimbal for FC40

    Forgive my newbie comment here, but I too have been looking at getting a gimbal for my FC40. It looks like the gimbal/camera would hit the ground when landing or taking off. Do you need to get extended legs when using a gimbal?

    FC40 how to tell distances away?

    After trying everything included what J.James said without it working I contacted Flytrex. They said that sometimes Internet Explorer is touchy and may not support HTML5. They suggested I try Google Chrome or Firefox. So, I tried Google Chrome and it works perfectly. Even after downloading...

    FC40 how to tell distances away?

    I just received my Flytrex 2 today. I installed it with no issues, however, after my first flight with it I noticed it created the FPV file on my SD card. When I tried to upload it to the website it immediately says the webpage can't be found. I checked some of the forums and found that most...

    Startup?

    Thanks for the help everyone. I took the quad up this morning after adjusting all the settings. Once at altitude, I flipped S1 to failsafe and after several seconds the quad entered it's pattern to return home. It landed within inches of the takeoff location.

    Startup?

    I did not hook the quad up to the software yet because when I purchased it I was under the impression that those settings were already programmed. I will try connecting it and programming it. I can tell you that all though I do have experience with heli's, it is a little more difficult to...

    Startup?

    When I took off I had both S1 and S2 swith in the up position. I brought the copter to about 50' altitude and maybe 60' out. I then let go of the controls and flipped S2(switch on left) all the way down to the "home lock" position according the the instructions. The copter didn't do anything...

    Startup?

    Hello everyone. I just purchased my first quadcopter, the FC40. I have a pretty good background in heli's and planes but not quads. I am a little confused during my startup. During startup I get a green light followed by 4 red lights. After this repeats several times, it then blinks a fast...
