    Repaired damaged gimbal and legs, gimbal still not fully initializing, and can’t link RC to aircraft

    It no longer seems relevant to this thread, but I have found many problems with mylar ribbon replacements in printers are due to inadequate thickness, and can be fixed by adding tape to the non contact side. (this obviously will not work on double sided ribbons)

    2.4g and 5g antennas

    Joy of joys... I found the battery spi cable wasn't seated properly. When I pushed it in DJIgo talked to the battery and now the motors will spin up. Now my only problem is the gimbal roll arm has about 10 degrees of bend and a screw is missing.

    2.4g and 5g antennas

    This suggests my antenna repair was successful but I have a separate problem with the motherboard.

    2.4g and 5g antennas

    I stand corrected. A search showed 2.4 GHz is used for the video signal and the RC runs at 5.8. It doesn't make much sense to me that to get the required bandwidth they have departed from ISM channel allocations at 2.4 and they use 5 gig for the controls where they don't need the bandwidth...not...

    2.4g and 5g antennas

    Thanks for those responses. The bird fires up with front lights red and the rear flashing red yellow green with double beeps. it then settles down to red only. The gimbal light is green when the TF card is inserted. The gimbal does respond to the rc wheel. I am fairly confident about my...

    2.4g and 5g antennas

    I stacked my p3s into a tree a few weeks back. Gimbal/camera assembly was left hanging by the black antenna coax. Anti vibration plate was in several pieces but little more visible damage after tumbling through branches to the ground. I made a new antivibration plate from cut up CDs. I found...

    Ways to improve exposure with fireworks at night; see video and in-depth explanation below

    CASA = Civil Aviation Safety Authority... and Australia. We are not alllowed to fly at night or over 400' without approval and one of those has to be "cost recovered" An organised event?.... It's training day for my assistants... and my birthday party.

    Ways to improve exposure with fireworks at night; see video and in-depth explanation below

    One of the reasons I started applying for a remote pilot license was to film my yearly fireworks show (And the pyro license cost me nearly as much as a RePL.) Half way through my application and I discover the cost of a permit for one night flying costs more than the fireworks.... I fail to see...

    P3S dat file extraction

    It is a 4GB disk with 2.5GB used. The dat files start at FLY049 on the date of my first flight, so I assume 1-48 have either been overwritten or deleted.

    P3S dat file extraction

    Thanks for that idea... hooked the AC up to my GFs laptop and all the dat files showed up immediately.

    P3S dat file extraction

    Thanks for your comprehensive epistle but unfortunately it does not help with my original aim. As I stated in the first post I just want the AC .dat files before they get overwritten. My P3S was pre-loved and I wish to know how hard. I started trying to use the wifi because the USB front port is...
