I have an early (v1.2 I think) Storm Drone 6 and one of the motors has just packed up. It is labelled : Storm 2212/930kv and carries a twin hole left hand ET9055L prop. However, the labelling on the motor is exactly the same as those carrying right hand props, so I'm not sure that handedness...

I'm guessing that Jacky meant 'this will halve the charging time'...

Thanks Nate - that's useful (and, regarding the Naza software, reassuring) to know ! :) My charger, which is a fairly cheap one I think (it came as the default charger with the drone), has 1, 2 or 3 Amp settings and I have just been defaulting to 1 Amp with whatever size battery I've been using...

Hi charley whiskey - I plug mine into the Devo port (which seems simplest and most direct) but others seem to put theirs through the Naza unit - being a bit of a novice with these things, I don't know whether there are disadvantanges to doing it the way I have.... Unfortunately, I can't answer...

Hi emmac - I've just seen these posts and I don't know the answer to your query but, if it is because you are in or too close to the polar circle for the GPS to work properly, my understanding is that you can still fly the Strom Drone in ATTI mode. The DEVO 7 Setup manual from Helipal states...

Wow - that looks fantastic Paul - really impressive ! Methinks I'm going to need a fair bit more experience before I think about building a drone from scratch - I'm still very much at the bottom of the learning curve with the Storm Drone 6.... But that looks sooooo good...... ! :)

Excellent - Now you can relax and properly enjoy flying it.... Well done Paul, again ! In fact, I think Paul should lead some kind of Storm Drone 6 Support Club, where we can meet in some dark and seedy corner of the internet to write an instruction manual that can then be handed around on a...

Hmmm... that's a bit weird though because a flashing blue light means that the gimbal has recognised that a controller is connected - until I sorted this out, I was just getting a steady blue, which indicates that the gimbal is functioning but there is no control input. Helipal should help you...

Hmm.... sorry to ask but the white on that wire is connected through to the top pin on the Aux 2 connection on the RX701 and everything is switched on ? If it is and nothing is happening, I'm afraid that you've hit the end of my very limited knowledge... Is the gimbal light flashing blue ...

I may be wrong CaptnBly but your photo looks like you may be connecting to the wrong pin on the gimbal - it needs to be the middle pin on the right hand 'column' of 3 (I think your photo is showing that you have connected the white wire to the rearmost of the right hand 'column' of 3). I...

Hi CaptnBly - I think this might just be a fairly common issue but, as I discovered with Paul's help, the answer is actually quite simple once you know how ! Part of the trick is not to try and connect the gimbal to the Naza Unit at all - instead, connect the gimbal direct to the Aux 2...

Just a quick update to say Huge Thanks again Paul - with help from the link you kindly provided, I've managed to sort this out by wiring up the correct pin on the gimbal direct to the Aux 2 connection on the receiver unit- it works perfectly now ! :)

Once again Paul - Huge thanks for this ! - There looks to be lots of useful stuff on the thread you've pointed me at - I will now go off and have a read through it all, and try to digest it ! Cheers.

I have found the Naza Lite assistant software (and the manual and driver) on the DJI website and have downloaded it. I'm slightly nervous of installing it though because, when I went to do that it immediately asked me to connect the unit to my laptop and I don't want it to automatically reset...

Photo 2 of 3 shows the position on the Tarot 2D gimbal's board where cable end 'A' was connected when I received it, i.e. the right side set of 3 pins when looking from front to rear of the drone. The other two sets of pins were empty. Cable end 'A' will fit on these pins either way around...

Photo 1 of 3 shows the short cable that came connected to the gimbal at the end labelled 'A' - As you can see, the middle wire at this end is black. The end labelled 'B' connects to the extension cable supplied with the camera re-positioning kit. As you can see, the middle wire at this end is...

Thanks Paul, you're a star - I really appreciate your help with this !:) I'll have a look and see about using the NAZA assistant software to calibrate AUX 2 and keep my fingers (if not my wires) crossed. I have the Naza-M-Lite unit and there wasn't a Naza software disc in the package I...

Hi David - thank you for your post. I am a complete newbie to this and have just bought a Storm Drone 6 with the Tarot Gimbal and the FPV kit. I too am not at all impressed with the lack of instructions (which is ridiculous, to be honest) and a couple of cables were missing from my FPV kit...
