Camera footage? Yep, despite the camera being a cheap clone I'm pretty pleased with the stability. It took some time and playing to set the correct software parameters in the Naz software (i.e. The min/max camera angles). When I get a chance I'll try and remember to send a screen shot (I'm not...

I've got an FC40, but on the same topic does full RTH kick at the relevant distance set then I'm assuming you just apply normal control when you're back in visual contact? Sent from my iPhone using PhantomPilots

Hi Craig, I used the 'spare' power leads from inside the main body and connected/soldered to the power leads provided with the gimbal. Sent from my iPhone using PhantomPilots

All sorted and working really well! Took some head scratching and remembering some schoolboy electronics! Sent from my iPhone using PhantomPilots

I have a stock FC40 (more or less) but interested how I can test/check controller-to-AC distances before the various failsafes kick in. Notwithstanding line-of-sight limitations, what can I realistically expect to achieve? Sent from my iPhone using PhantomPilots

What PC software do most people use for simple editing? Sent from my iPhone using PhantomPilots

@Slackware Thanks! The 4K bit is based on the proverbial YouTube review...it's the Wimius Q1 camera. Sent from my iPhone using PhantomPilots

I've got a GoPro clone-type camera as on a budget but wondering what are best settings. It claims 4K but definitely not! I get a bit lost with all the 1080 720 stuff. Can someone make a recommendation please, I just want it for general landscape shots etc. Sent from my iPhone using...

I've just taken on an FC40 (I would put it in the right forum area but I'm guessing it's pretty quiet!!). Anyway I've successfully fitted a Chinese gimbal, but the controller mod is proving more tricky: I've wired up a 5K pot as per the various videos etc turned on the gimbal in the Naza, but...

So I've fitted - Chinese gimbal and it seems to doing what it should (i.e. Staying balanced). Just done a mod to the controller with a 5K dial as per all the videos etc but I can't get the camera to tilt...am I missing anything obvious? I've switched on the gimbal in Naza software etc...HELP...

Thanks Steve, a couple of peroni and some chin scratching at its all sorted - just need to mod the controller and we'll be cooking on gas!! Thanks Sent from my iPhone using PhantomPilots

Thanks SteveyB, Ext question for anyone: mounted the gimbal as per about 100 YouTube videos etc but on powering up the gimbal rolls back on itself and generally just judders a lot!! Pretty sure all the leads are in the correct positions etc. Do I need to set it up via special software or...

Hi gang, I'm pretty new to all this but wondered if there's an easy way to mount the stock FC40 camera to a 2D gimbal - I like the FPV idea, but don't want to go to the expense of buying a Go Pro. Any thoughts or phots of gimbal mods would be a great help. Or is it just a case of break out the...

I've just taken ownership of an immaculate FC40 with Skytrex Core and other bits and bobs. I decided to be prudent and got myself a timer too: What is the realistic performance (time) of a stock DJI battery pack? I'm trying to avoid holding down the skids and going full throttle until it stops...
