I did not receive compensation for this footage but my boss wants to put it in a commercial for our store. Any ideas if this would be legal under the FAA...

    Best Mounting for DJI AVL58 vTx?

    Hello, I am considering attaching my DJI AVL58 Video Downlink Transmitter to the backside of the frame of my ZenMuse H3-2D Gimbal. I would use a heavy duty velcro patch and make sure that nothing interferes or touches the silver motor hub on the gimbal. It seem like this might work well with the...

    DJI 5.8Ghz vTx Install? w/ Upgrade Board

    Wow, the colors of the wiring for 8 pin cable that comes with the DJI AVL58 Video Downlink made no sense to me. With help from martcerv and others I finally had success hooking the downlink up to my Phantom with Upgrade Board and H3-2D. Here is how the color scheme broke down for mine...

    DJI 5.8Ghz vTx Install? w/ Upgrade Board

    I have a 115V > 12VDC transformer that fits, but it is 1000 mA. From the spec sheet above. the Rx is rated for only 90 mA +/- 10mA @ 12V DC? That seems awfully low from my limited perspective. Would the Rx be damaged from using this cord adapter? Thanks again for your help everyone.

    DJI 5.8Ghz vTx Install? w/ Upgrade Board

    I have this portable Photgenic ION Battery/Inverter combo available to use: http://tinyurl.com/ohk95zr What cord do I need to connect my DJI AVL58 Downlink Receiver to 120v AC? I think the above product will be great for charging batteries in the field too.

    DJI 5.8Ghz vTx Install? w/ Upgrade Board

    Thank you for the responses. I forgot to also ask if the best placement for the vTx is inside the chasis or out? Keep in mind that I have more room now inside with the Upgrade Board swap. Cheers!

    Night Flight... Unresponsive... Then... (flyaway?)

    If you have the older, non-centering throttle Tx. I think I know what happened. I lost a Phantom into the ocean from a similar sequence. I flew out of altitude range on a Wharf at night and RTH kicked in but way off the mark. As it was slowly descending to a improperly calculated Home, I...

    Which T-Motor is best?

    Thank you boat chaser, this has been very informative. I too will do the crimping method, so thank you for that idea as well. This is to replace motors that were damaged by someone reinstalling the longer prop-guard screws without the guards in place. WATCH OUT for this fliers! I am intrigued...

    Which T-Motor is best?

    I can't seem to find any comparo's between the T-Motor MT2216-900 and the T-Motor MN2214 920 AntiGravity models. Anyone have insight into which version offers better performance overall for a heavier Phantom setup? Thank You!
