I was under the impression that an A2 flight controller was needed for an octocopter but Helipal has a combo kit listed here http://www.helipal.com/tarot-t18-octocopter-combo.html that uses a Naza V2. So I guess it works? I am bored and would like to start a new project for the winter building...

I have been through this so here goes. The XT1 and X100 are big cameras for a drone you would need something big to be stable. Your best bet is to use a camera as light as possible and you will need a drone bigger than the F550. I have a Tarot 680. Camera to consider that would work the best...

You can buy a kit from Futaba that you install that will center the stick. Check YouTube for a how to. It took maybe ten minutes for me to do it. It took a long time to get my kit from Futaba. After several attempts at getting one the issue turned out to be Futaba doesn't deliver to PO boxes. As...

So I was asked by the local Gov't to do some aerial video of the last 5k run of the year. It's called the Zombie-Thon. It is a road race, walk, with some Halloween dress up mixed in. The road race ends up as a block party, concert downtown. The police wasn't in on me showing up with the F550 so...

Make sure you have the right version of the software to communicate with the Naza. Once I registered my P2 I sign in with an email and a password and I have programmed several Naza units. Also make sure you are getting a good connection to the LED. Some cables I have used just don't connect good.

So I have a 8J radio but would like the part that keeps the left stick centered when let go. i ordered the part from Futaba and the first time it was sent to the wrong address and never heard from again. So I called them back and they sent out another one. A couple of weeks later still nothing...

You mean the ESC's won't calibrate or none of the motors will start up? Mine wouldn't start once before on my F550 and it took hooking up the PC and calibrating the radio again. After that they armed. I am not sure how it got off but it worked. Also if you have an issue with one motor none will...

We have an old industrial plant and the previous owners were very picky about anyone with cameras or approaching the fence. I was taking pictures of the stacks years ago from across the street in a public park when the old guy came out with an attitude. He and his son were dismantling the place...

Thanks.....

I am running a Naza V2 in both a F550 and Tarot 680. At one point I had a Naza Lite in the F550.

What part of the setup can't you do? I setup a F550 and a Tarot 680 and had never done one before.

Here is another question related to the low battery issue. I was under the impression the lastest firmware upgrade would let the Naza calculate remaining battery life and put the bird in come home mode if the battery got so low that it needed to return. I know it goes into auto land as I have...

Can you send me a link to the 6400mah battery? I am having a hard time finding one with that high of a mah.

Thanks for the help I am slowly getting there. I have lowered the level some. I plan a project where I will be flying over water a lot and I want to get it ironed out before I get real serious. The last time out this weekend I was getting 4:30 and 5:00 flight times and my voltage was around 15...

So I have a helicopter I am thinking of fixing up. I have a Naza Lite left over from an upgrade. Can I use the GPS puck from the Naza Lite on the Naza H?
