    FC40 P2, in need of gimble and camera

    Don't need any fancy items, but I'd like to be able to connect with the camera on my phone so I can see what I'm aiming at. I would like to enable pitch control since I already rang the wire for it. Can the walkera G3D work with pitch control?

    FC40 P2, in need of gimble and camera

    Thanks for the reply, I now realize that I should have likely posted this in the P1 forum. Truth be told I've been away from my drone for like 16 months so I need to relearn everything. What type of Go Pro 3 do people recommend? I'm going to find one used and see there are all different types...

    FC40 P2, in need of gimble and camera

    Okay so I have an FC40, I know that it runs on a different frequency and therefore it's limited in some capacity (the stock camera is not very good). I tried a year ago or so to put a Sony Action camera on it, I even printed the plastic parts to make my own gimble from some parts I bought...

    Cheap gimbal big problems

    I appreciate what you're saying, but at this point I would like to at least try to just make this thing work. It seems like others have done a lot better than me so I am just hoping to get it working in a similar capacity. Do you have any links that detail balancing or how to setup this type of...

    unbalanced after crash

    Are all of the propellers in proper shape? I had one of mine bent after a crash and it was causing similar issues until I swapped it for a new one.

    Cheap gimbal big problems

    So I got the cheap gimbal from by luck sell that many others have had success with. Sadly I seem to have messed something up. I have everything wired, but when I put a battery in the gimbal just shakes like crazy. It doesn't get close to level it just does nonsense. I have tried using Naza and...

    Help with Naza

    Hi all, New to DJI and drone in general, well really any advanced RC stuff. Anyway I have a new FC40 and am struggling with the Naza software. Before I fly I hear I am supposed to calibrate things, but I'm not sure what that means. I read through the manual and watched a lot so videos...

    Just got a DJI FC40

    Thanks for your reply. I guess there is just a lot of acronyms in the manual and since so much of it is new to me, I'm struggling a bit. I would love a bit more help about understanding the control modes and the RTH flight parameters. I don't see much information in the manual about it although...

    Just got a DJI FC40

    Hi all, I just got a DJI from my sister for my birthday. I wasn't expecting such a nice gift from her although I myself thought of getting a drone of sorts not too long ago so it was a pleasant surprise. I charged the battery and somewhat stupidly did a test flight off my dining room table...
