CH7 and older firmware, does it work?

mr_3_0_5 · Jun 4, 2014

Give it some time
I'm sure dji will release an update to make the 7th channel active again once they get enough complaints

I've been told "...in a next firmware release" but no way to get neither confirmation on that nor more detail

and it's a bit in conflict with the reply by DJI I read in this thread !?!
Let's wait and see :x

Its quite expensive 85 euros plus another 21% tax outisde Holland then another 17 euros fedex it all piles up !

I need it though as I hate the app slider, but you know sods law will mean DJI bring it out on an update !!

:roll:

Drone Expert seems to have delays quite frequent on their product releases but a nice guy from Holland told me they expect to start shipping by the end of the week :?:
As for the "Booster Boys" I have not had any info, maybe someone else can chime in?

Mori55 · Jun 17, 2014

I asked in their thread and never get any replies , would be nice if they did t ignore a question. Guess their making to much money.

Thank you for the update, good to have someone keeping us informed.
As far as answering emails, they don't.
No Phone number listed and not answering emails - strange way of doing business :x

You are absolutely right.
They have removed the phone number, because they are too busy with the production. (he told me)

Maybe PVFlyer is coming soon with his mode 2 app with the 7channel mod. :geek:

Any update on Drone Expert delivery?? :?:

pyrophantom · Jun 23, 2014

Drone expert have always answered my emails ??? Might take them a few days but they do get round to them.

It seems like other Phantom Pilots have had luck with getting the 7th channel to work when using other transmitters like the FrSky.

Has any plus owner had luck with this?

The issue isn't getting it to work - it's getting it to work when the Vision app is connected.

Even if the vision app is on its "homescreen" (you haven't selected the camera), it will take over gimbal control. (Gimbal control will work from the DJI transmitter or a replacement one like a Futaba if the app is not connected.)

Also, it seems that once the app connects, you lose transmitter gimbal control until the Phantom is power cycled. (At least that has been my experience so far.)

I'd love to see the inside of that little DRONExpert box...

Drone Expert has started shipping!
Just got the shipping notification

ResevorDG · Jun 24, 2014

I hear a rumor that PVFlyer = memberlist.php?mode=viewprofile&u=6956
is working on an app that will allow the 7th channel to operate.
No word on release date but I would much prefer an app that costs less money and adds no weight or physical modding.

Here's the quote. viewtopic.php?f=27&t=13496&start=1140#p168665
