    DJI A2 GPS light question

    I have a DJI A2 setup on my S800 and have a problem trying to see the LED GPS lock lights. I believe it flashes two purple when GPS is obtained at less than 50% throttle. The LED kind of looks like a combination of red/purple. They almost look red but when I put a sheet of white paper to...

    Futaba 14SG saving program data???

    I have a 14SG and tried to save my program data for my F550. So far all I can do is clone the existing F550 but I would like to back it up so if I make some changes and screw it up I can go back to square one. I have a SD card formatted in the transmitter. Please let me know what I need to do...

    Futaba 14GS adding DYS 3 axis gimbal?

    14SG F550 adding retracts & programming channel 8?

    Is there a way I can look at all the channels that have been programed and see what their function is? The gimbal is powered by a BEC and yes I did read about not powering the servos from NAZA. This is like eating a really big elephant one bit at a time <smile> Thank you for your help...

    14SG F550 adding retracts & programming channel 8?

    Thank you very much for your help and I greatly appreciate it... The second item I am adding is a Aeroxcraft VTR-GP which I have on my Aerocraft landing skid. I see how to setup up the gimbal in NAZA would this also need a channel like one of the slide switches on the side?

    Tarot 2D V2 first powering on questions

    The only thing powered up is the gimbal. The GoPro is attached with the TL68A10 but not powered up. The shaking I would call violent not high-freq oscillation/vibration. I am going to upgrade the gimbal and motor firmware and check the PID values. I have a 5V BEC rated 3 amps to power the...

    DJI repair in LA positive experience

    I had a problem and could not fix it. The camera would not bind no matter what I tried. I put in a support ticket with DJI in Hollywood, CA and received a RMA for return. Once they had it in house they acknowledged receiving it and a couple of days later it went to the techs. They notified me...
