Thanks John. Having re-read my post, it is a bit misleading. I meant if I replace my Transmitter, as opposed to the switch... Having read the instructions again it appears there is a binding button on the receiver, so shouldn't be a problem.

Howdy I dropped my DJI DT7 Transmitter on Friday, and only noticed over the weekend that I've snapped off the GPS/Altitude/Attitude switch. I've made a temporary fix using some superglue and a nail, but wanted to know, if I can pick up a cheap second had replacement, will it pair up ok with my...

For anyone interested, on top of mm's informative post, I have also found a really good link explaning just about everything Lipo. http://www.rchelicopterfun.com/rc-lipo-batteries.html

Thank again mm I had a play around with the gains and it has made quite an improvement when I'm using my 3 cell battery. It's still pretty bad when I use the 4 cell though, so may have to make a few more adjustments. I had a nasty crash a few weeks ago, which resulted in me snapping the...

Yep 15 minutes. I think it was about that anyway. I recorded the flight with my GoPro and that was about 16 minutes, so I'm guessing it was in the air for about 15; could have been a little less. I've posted a video on another thread re the wobble issue...

The battery alarm is working a treat! I got about 15 mins out of my 3 cell, 3000mAh over the weekend in pretty windy conditions. I just need to get the wobble sorted now.

Though I've never seen one in person, it looks like quite a cool, fairly inexpensive little quad to get started with. Some reviews do mention an option 'on board micro digital video/picture camera', but I'm not sure if that also functions as FPV. It might be worth having a look on YouTube, to...

So, I seem to have the battery issue sorted. The only other problem I'm having is vibrations/wobble. Having done a bit of research it appears this could be attributed to one or more of the following: 1) Props need balancing I have purchased this prop balancer (http://goo.gl/FVC2Cw) but...

Cheers mm That makes things a little clearer. I have ordered a low voltage alarm to fix to the quad, so that will hopefully negate the need to guff around with Naza'a low voltage settings anyway. I just hope I haven't stuffed up either of my batteries in the mean time.

Howdy, Just joined up today myself. I've made a total of 5 flights with my DJI F450, and am still ironing out a few problems, so hoping to get some help from these boards :)

From the limited knowledge I have in this hobby, you'll probably struggle to get a quad, with a GoPro and FPV for less than $700. If you already have a GoPro, which I'm assuming you do given that you have stated you have an interest making videos, you might want to look at the DJI phantom...

I have recently purchased and built a DJI F450. Everything seems to be going ok apart from the LiPo batteries, and in particular the low voltage settings on my Naza Lite flight controller. I’ve watched endless YouTube clips trying to understand the whole low voltage thing, but I just don’t get...
