    Horizontal pans jerky as ****. Normal?

    Both. Looks the same to me. Samsung u3 card Is there any way from the meta to see what shutter speed it was recording at the time? I realize that it will vary.

    Horizontal pans jerky as ****. Normal?

    Go full screen and watch the door frame go by. It's like a strobe light. It's almost as if it were being filmed at 10fps.

    Horizontal pans jerky as ****. Normal?

    Here's a clip, originally filmed in 4k, 30fps. Watch the edges of the window or door frame. It's nauseating to watch! Same when filming from the drone. I'm new to this platform but is this normal behavior?? I didn't test 1080p yet, but I didn't but this thing to film in 1080. Can anything be...

    A generic battery adapter to use cheaper batteries

    Indeed, mine is up to 1mm smaller in some dimensions to accommodate for the original battery's tapers.. Fits snugly. I notice that the designer of the one you posted says "This is a newer iteration than I use and I have not used this version yet" so that's something.

    A generic battery adapter to use cheaper batteries

    I am using the Yuneec charger, it's the only one that I have. Getting similar flight times to the original battery. Did you have problems inserting MINE or somebody else's? I designed mine to be about 1mm narrower than the stock battery in order to fit without making the more complex side shape...

    A generic battery adapter to use cheaper batteries

    Inaugural test flight was tonight, ran perfect. I'm selling my "old" external battery adapter (the one somebody is selling on ebay and that I didn't like), $15 if anybody wants it.

    Is the Q500 Hard to Fly?

    I'm new to this sport just this month and I can't imagine anything being easier to fly. Regarding the suggestion that the threads may strip on the blades, I've seen several threads of the blades coming off during flight, which is obviously a major crash. I'd be more worried about that than...

    CGO3 not transmitting wifi when on steadygrip?

    Thanks for those pictures, those are super helpful. I decided to just forget about powering the grip via AA and strapped a 11.1v lipo to the bottom of the grip instead. It's not worth the fight and the runtime on AA is poor anyway. Thanks again for your help!

    A generic battery adapter to use cheaper batteries

    I saw an adapter in the forums somewhere for other lipos but I didn't like the design much, so I made my own. If you have a 3D printer give it a try! If you don't have a printer I suppose you could beg me or someone else to print one for you. https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3458304 Designed...

    CGO3 not transmitting wifi when on steadygrip?

    A good idea, but the pigtail connection didn't change things.

    CGO3 not transmitting wifi when on steadygrip?

    Awesome, thanks for checking that. My grip reads 9.8v and 10.5, depending on which pins I check. 10.5v inside the battery compartment. It sounds to me like the camera is at fault for being too picky about its supply voltage.

    CGO3 not transmitting wifi when on steadygrip?

    Sorry but this isn't correct. The camera transmits a standard wifi signal that any 5Ghz capable wifi device can receive.

    CGO3 not transmitting wifi when on steadygrip?

    Thanks folks. I did some testing and apparently it's a voltage related problem. I connected the grip to a bench power supply and with anything under 12v the camera will not activate wifi. The specs state to use NiMH batteries ONLY, which would be a mere 9.6v nominally. Where alkaline batteries...

    CGO3 not transmitting wifi when on steadygrip?

    Just got my Q500 4k. Everything works great in the air, but I have not been able to use the steadygrip at all. Powers up fine, gimbal does it's thing, but I can't see any wifi network being transmitted by the CGO at all. Nothing seen my my phone, nothing seen by two laptops. All of these have...
