Hi, Recently had a crash with the FC40. Wasn't too bad but it wasn't flying. Opened it up to find that the power cable had came separated from the motherboard. I had to unplug one of the wires from the naza controll board that was attached to the top of the drone so I had more room. Superglued...

I'd like pitch control and installed the lever, but if it requires much then I can forego it. If you don't have pitch control can you set the camera angle like a hard mount with stabilization? Any chance a video showing the 7.4 lipo in action? Or a video with it incorporated into the balance plug?

Hi, I picked up the G-2d gimbal online and had hoped to install it on my FC40. Sadly it was a little more complex that I thought and I think extra wires/connectors/or battery are needed to install. I saw the "no soldering" post in the form here which was great, but I couldn't find the few...

I think my Nazim settings are set to 2000 meters, so I think that should be far enough...but when happens when it hits 2000 meters? Auto return or just stays there and will not go further?

Hi, Thanks to all for everyone's previous posts! My FC40 has been upgraded to fly the gopro 4 black with an anti jelly gimbal and the fc40 velcro mounted on battery compartment. Been great flying thus far and great aerial shots over Kauai. But I"m a bit nervous flying it far still as it get's...

Hi, Has anyone experimented with night photography with the 4k gopro. Do you think the 4k version has anything over the Gopro 3's at night in the air? Seems the new one is great with night photo's if it is on a ground tripod...but maybe there might be a benefit in the air as well? Thanks, M

wow that is a pretty amazing set up that you have there! Thanks so much for sharing all of that!...inspiring me to get creative!

thanks..sounds like a lot of extra work. prob just keep it as is then. thanks!

I thought it would be a good idea to do so, but took it to the nearest hobby shop and they adamantly suggested I not upgrade anything since newer updates can have new bugs to work out. But as the latest firmware might have been released a while ago maybe the latest update would be good? Is there...

Is there a step by step calibration walk through that you can recommend. Thanks for the tip on the Naza being level as well

Hi there..yeah, it's not the best idea to take on too many tasks but I'm getting there. I got the drone flying correctly although it is pretty shaky and does not stay all that still..has a bit much forward momentum so that I can't take off from stand still, but if I hold it and give it an air...

Thank you for this excellent solution. That does seem like it would work well to have both cameras on the drone. I'm not too concerned about that much flight time. I can't seem to find anyone that has used the FC40 and a go pro 4 though. I'm sure they are very similar, but would be nice to find...

Hi there, thanks so much for the info. I totally understand. I was prepared to go in for the 2.5k kit with go pro and FPV but it's frustrating to realize that you still need to manually set video/photo and do time lapse...such a flaw that I'm sure will be fixed soon. When my friend offered me...

Hi, a friend just gave me his FC40 for a last minute Europe trip. He said he used it with the Go Pro 3 but I'd like the best possible quality. Will this drone work with a go pro 4? Is there a gimble or something that I can add to help it smooth out? Any advice or thoughts on this setup would...
