Seal Beach Maker Space | Facebook I periscoped the balancing procedure, you can see it at @letsgoflyit All my props are balanced and my gimbal is free to move (I think), and the apps are updated. Looking forward to getting her into the air! Once I have it set up correctly I am thinking about...

I was able to get it installed by following a convoluted process. Basically you have to back door it so W10 doesn't jump in and stop it. I Googled how to install it.

Mine also had the gimbal pushed over with stiff wires. It seams that battery tray removal is a must do with gimbal install.

OK I finally got around to pulling the battery tray. The GPS cable was pushing against itself. The cable is zip tied to the main board and travels out and doubled back and then plugged into the gimbal. Where the cable plugged into the gamble and the zip tie were in contact. This was putting a...

I will thanks, also I'm still dealing with the propeller balancing. Last time I checked they were sold out. Also I still need to check gimbal balance and stick calibration.

Thanks Tim, that is the feed back I was looking for. I am an experienced r/c pilot but new to quad and video. I totally agree that having a good flying quad is the first step. I am also new to gimbals. Thank you for confirming the jello. I will study my set up more and make sure it is balanced.

Nice Han lol that and lots of hard work we'll have a solution

The winds were about 3-10 mph variable and occasional gusts. For my area this is relatively calm. I will check the wires again. After watching the flight school video I was concerned about the wires and checked them. Also after landing and rebooting the gimbal was normal again. I agree that the...

Six, I posted a video conversation about this as well. I haven't tried yet but my plan was to use a press to drill the hole. Did you drill it out be hand? I bet you could get close enough that way. Anyway I would appreciate some more details about how you drilled the hole, how you balanced the...

Thanks for the input, I will order those parts and try it. I agree drilling through the prop housing is introducing variables. The point is to be eliminating them. Have you noticed a smoother flight, longer battery life, or better video as a result?

Hi guys, I had the same thing happen. Here is the video from the event. I did not notice the error until I got home and looked at the video. I lost WiFi with solo a few minutes later. After the RTH event I landed rebooted and everything was fine. Has anyone determined what caused the gimbal to...

Thanks Steve, the video and sound are great. Love the it's so simple whistle lol. Will you share the details of how you created the video? I will look into your method. It does have a very clean approach but I am not sure about adding weight with tape. How is that working for you? What type of...

Here is another video I shot today 2.7K @ 60fps I had an issue inflight with the gimbal. After landing and rebooting it was OK again.

OK point taken. I have never experience the type of failure you mentioned. I am very careful with all of my UAV's. So do you have a method of prop balancing that you feel is adequate for our purposes? Also I am fairly new to this group but an experienced UAV pilot however I do not know Peter...

Thanks Steve, That looks pretty good. I thought that the friction would be an issue but your base has compensated for that well. It shows using scotch tape to add weight. Have you tried this yet with the solo props? The only way that I have balanced a prop is by removing material from the back...
