    FC40 camera Battery

    Agree ... same for me. PC always want to look at it as a storage device and it doesn't charge. Need stand-alone - my LG phone chargers work fine.

    Another gimbal issue - Walkera G-2D metal

    Jitters like crazy. Won't settle in. Just hooked it up yesterday. Mounted FC40 camera on it and have meticulously tried to weight it like a GoPro Hero3. (76 grams - FC40 weighs 36 grams) Moved the camera position all around the mounting arm - close, far, up, down, middle.... Tried tweaking the...

    How I mounted my FC40 camera to an ebay gimbal

    Thanks, I see what you're saying. My bastard gimbal came with the sensing board on the top side of the platform, next to the servo. Every other pic of these cheapies showed the board on the underside. So I was a bit confounded when mine showed up. When I stuck it underneath, the platform went...

    Control adjustments

    Sorry if it's been covered, tried searching, but........ Wondering if/where you can set the controls to be less responsive/sensitive. While I'm capturing video, results are a bit jerky and sudden when making yaw maneuvers. I can do it on my $50 Hubsan right on the controller, but the Nazam...

    FC40 camera Battery

    .... about 2 hours later -- red light shut off completely and camera is cool to the touch. So I'll assume it is now fully charged. Will use stand-alone charger from now on.

    FC40 camera Battery

    Had mine now for a couple of weeks. Always plugged in with the USB cable supplied with the Phantom to my PC. It would blink red for a couple of seconds then stay solid red. Light never went out or changed colors, but did get fairly hot. Just now tried a stand-alone USB charger I use for my LG...
