    GPS sats - all lost shortly after takeoff

    Thanks for the response. I got a little further with this: The GPS sats are all lost once the vibrations pick up on the copter after takeoff. If I remove the props and spin it up then hold the copter and move it around, motors spinning, the sats are all retained. Do the same thing with props on...

    GPS sats - all lost shortly after takeoff

    Hello everyone. I purchased a P2 privately a few nights ago. I'm finding that prior to, and immediately after takeoff, the satellite count is high - 10. But within about 15 seconds of taking off it will lose all of the sats and go into ATTI mode. Has anyone else seen this before, and if so...

    Action video with drone footage.

    Great video - I'm a power kite man myself and your fly by at 3.56 made me hold my breath :-) Cheers.

    Manual mode wont hold height with new gimbal

    I hadn't been on for a while and just saw some questions about why I am using Manual mode. It's a sure fire way to wreck the quad if you don't have proper FPV gear on. However, with a real time view from the quad, Manual Mode is the absolute business. Really difficult to use but great fun as...

    SJ4000 Remote Shutter Control

    I have struggled with the SJ4000 WiFi shutter controls using my iPhone and tablet but have never managed to get it working. So last week I ordered a small servo off Ebay and my project today was to cobble together a harness to allow me to press the shutter button on the camera using the servo...

    Bad range on fpv.

    I have a very similar setup and get aboutb500m range. Be sure the tx and rx are on the same channel, or try changing th channels and retest. That helped me a lot when I got it. Damian.

    SJ4000 wifi distance

    I too use this setup - the rc802 and ts321 with an SJ4000. You MUST get a pair of cloverleaf/skewplanar antennas that are for 2.4ghz in order to get about a 500m video range, As for lag or delay, I don't have any issues with it and fly in manual mode all the time - great fun :-) My SJ4000...

    DDWRT FC40

    Hi there. Yes, I had trouble with this too but eventually got it sorted after following a set of vertyexplicit instructions posted by dragonash into this thread (page 7) viewtopic.php?f=20&t=6866&hilit=linksys+ddwrt&start=60 Having said that - I did well with a ddwrt router for a while but...

    Can the FC40 get FPV for 2 miles, 3.2 kilometers?

    That's the Boscam transmitter and receiver - correct ? The TS321 ? Did you work out the range yet and what is picture quality like as you get out to the edge. I have ordered exactly these items for my FC40 for Christmas :-) Looking forward to playing.

    Manual mode wont hold height with new gimbal

    I have an FC40 and attached a Walkera G2-D gimbal. I sometimes experiment using manual mode, but since the gimbal went on the weight has changed and now the quad won't hover in manual without my keeping a little extra thrust on. It hovers perfectly in GPS or ATTI. Any ideas which setting I can...

    Banking turns and Naza

    I have an FC40 and am about to get set up with FPV - a Boscam TS321 setup, an SJ4000 and a cheap screen. My question is about how the quad handles. When I watch most FPV video the copter seems to bank and turn at the same time. Almost like a boat - banking to one side and turning. But that...
