    1.1.1 drifting left

    I have a new set of props on the way. But I shirt off doubt that will be it since it changes in relation to being in GPS or atti modes. We'll see what happens with new props though.

    FC40 and a Walkera G2D Gimbal

    I would look at Amazon and eBay. I got my metal one on ebay, and actually found one that was in the USA, so I didn't have to wait for the slow boat from China.

    HELP PLEASE --First flight of Phantom 1 and on GPS it flies

    Re: HELP PLEASE --First flight of Phantom 1 and on GPS it fl Did you get it new, or used? If it's crashed at all I would do a full IMU calibration, and also calibrate the controller.

    Quanum Q2D gimbal?

    After much searching I found one post online where a guy plugged into the Naza for tilt, but he said it caused the gimbal to double is movement to correct itself. So if the Phantom tipped forward for flight, the gimbal would tilt up twice what it needed to, so it would end up pointing up at...

    1.1.1 drifting left

    It has done it since we got it. The module is on tight and secure. It has only had one minor crash. We did an IMU calibration after the crash and it flys the same as it did out of the box. I have wondered if maybe it just doesn't have many satellites, because sometimes it wanders a bit...

    1.1.1 drifting left

    Got a flight in before dark here and it does it even towards the end of the battery. It's pretty clear though when you switch between GPS and atti modes, distinct course change, from curved to straight.

    1.1.1 drifting left

    Hmm. We don't do any long range fpv flights or anything, but I'll double check. Next flight I'll try a straight line flight towards the end of the battery.

    1.1.1 drifting left

    My 1.1.1 drifts to the left when flying straight forward. Flying backwards it drifts to the right. We have tried IMU calibration, compass calibration, and stick calibration. Yesterday I tried something different. Took off and set out flying straight, and it was drifting left as usual...

    Quanum Q2D gimbal?

    Or, of course, anyone else who knows how to hook up for tilt control!

    Battery observations/questions

    Well, we have 6-7 cycles on the Multistar packs now, and have changed the protections to level 1 at 10.6 and level 2 at 10.1. We're now getting 14-15 minutes to land with pack voltage at 11.1, and charging puts 3200 mAh back into them. That was with the GoPro in case, and no prop guards...

    Quanum Q2D gimbal?

    Nidge, for the tilt, do you just plug the tilt lead into a port on the NAZA? The Chinese instructions are, shall we say, less than useful!

    Quanum Q2D gimbal?

    My new Walkera gimbal arrived today. Soldered a plug onto the extra power lead from the board, bolted the gimbal on. Powered it all up and got one flight in before it got dark. Worked awesome, and made an incredible difference in the appearance of the video! [emoji41]

    Quanum Q2D gimbal?

    Well, I just ordered a Walkera G-2D. Found a new one on ebay that's actually here in the USA rather than shipping from China. $92 to my door.

    Quanum Q2D gimbal?

    Sweet! Thanks. I'm seeing the Walkera for $77, but it is a plastic version. The Quanum is aluminum, and they both show 120g for weight. I think I'd prefer the aluminum at $99.

    Quanum Q2D gimbal?

    Thank you! I really appreciate the info. Not looking to make award winning videos, just to smooth it out.
