also in settings, make sure the RC control is set to 'angle mode', not 'speed mode'. Page 5&6 of the manual, here

In reverse order... 3) I think your problem might be that you don't have the end points set right on the pitch control in the basecam board, so when you power it on, the board tries to follow the pitch control it is being sent, and turns the gimbal in pitch until it reaches one of the physical...

I'll take it if you don't want it mate, I'll bung you something for postage

easily done, you just need to run a servo wire from a spare channel on your rx straight into the basecam board - flip the basecam board over and it'll tell you which of those connectors is which (i think the rx-roll is the second from the right in your pic, but please check). Then go into the...

i think you've held on too long in the throttle-up position and gone into the ESC programming menu (you can program various parameters for them just using throttle up and down, but seems like a right pain). From the EMAX ESC manual - "C2.Throttle range setting procedures (when users change a...

i soldered mine (basecam 8-bit board) straight into the PDB since I found it really annoying to separately plug in the main battery leads and also the gimbal lead. Works fine (so far at least)

I've got one, and the instructions are rubbish, aren't they. Haven't tried updating firmware, so can't help I'm afraid.

super smooth video, wow. Those power lines make me nervous though !

So I learned avaluable lesson - if I fly late in the day, the sun sets on our side of the valley while the other side is still lit up, so the quad gets silhouetted against the hills and sky, making it very easy to lose orientation when line-of-sight flying. This was just a normal flight, camera...

So here's my first attempt at aerial videography. It was fun to do, but I've clearly got a lot to learn - amazing how much steadier and slower you need to fly for a good video, and I need to plan my shots better. Lots of props-in-shot - I'll be replacing those legs, but suspect I'll have to...

i'm editing my first proper attempt and will paste that up when finished - it's definitely a do-over though

that's not a bad price for that fpv kit, I might have to have a look. I'm just taking baby steps in aerial videography and find it quite hard to keep the target in shot flying l.o.s - usually fly over the top of it with the target cut off at the bottom of the frame, and that's with the camera...

a few sensitive borders around Turkey you could cross with a long range quad like that...

hahaha, nope. That should be a good way to get through all those props, shouldn't it

I've got a big bag of 1045 carbon props to work my way through first, so will wait till I've got through them before I experiment with different props. Will give that a go at some point though. Typical isn't it - I was going through plastic props like nobody's business when learning to fly...

they're zippy 2200's, so 215 grams. Same dimensions too - job done !

So since adding gimbal, camera and long legs to my quad, the flight times have dropped from about 8-9 minutes per battery to only about 6 minutes, and I'm wondering how I can improve that. The all-in weight of quad+camera+battery etc comes to around 1.3kg at the moment. KV980 motors, EMAX 25A...

i asked steveis on his blog about the fc gimbal outs btw, seems the board needs to be armed before signals are sent, which makes sense I suppose. Going to be a while before I can test it on mine though

A couple of photos of it in place. Really not a fan of those long legs, I have to be really precise in landing - any sideways drift at all when landing and it can trip the quad over so it lands on its side, and they're springy too, if I land with a little tension in placement between different...

nope, it's on and working ! Must get round to editing together some of the video I shot on holiday. One thing I couldn't get working though, since you asked, is the FCB gimbal-outs to work with the Basecam board... I've connected M7 and M8 from my KK2.1.5 to the fc inputs on the basecam...
