    Horizon problem

    It was off a little till I did a turn (yaw) and then it went really bad. Did get a couple of decent pics of what I was after.

    Horizon problem

    Thanks h-elsner, I will try that. I also had a Neewer ND filter on it, that I now have taken off. Adds weight to the front of the camera.

    Horizon problem

    Probably because I had not flown the Q in over 6 months, the gimbal was off kilter. I will put her up in the air again today and see how it goes.

    H trouble calibrating compass

    My first flight with my H, I forgot to remove my cell phone while I was trying to do the compass dance. Once I removed it, all was good.

    Another Use for the Red Button... Landing!

    Yes, it was a couple of months ago. Didn't do short presses. Didn't see the video.

    Another Use for the Red Button... Landing!

    Well, I came into this thread late, and didn’t see the video. The digest sent me to the last post. But I had seen another thread/post describing the same thing, whereas I tried from too high. Mistook the the “ for a ‘ and tried it from 6 feet high. Dumb mistake.

    Another Use for the Red Button... Landing!

    Yes, the suggestion didn’t clarify 6 inches,not feet. Made the same mistake with my Q. No parts required to fix mine though. I was lucky.

    Another Use for the Red Button... Landing!

    Had my H up yesterday taking some pictures. Was about 12' off the ground, and hit the wrong button. As most know the ST16 Red Kill is almost in the same spot as the ST10 Still Capture. Dropped about 6 feet before I realized my mistake. Whew, that was close!

    TELEMETRY READING ANY HELP PLEASE

    TyPilot has a good suggestion for recovering UAV’s from water. A bobber thing that attaches to the landing gear, and if it hits water,releases the bomber on a fish line. And wa-la, find the bobber, pull up the UAV.

    compass warning and right motor red LED

    I appreciate PatR mentioning to point the nose of the H North. I remember the Q manual said to do that, but the H Quick Manual does not say to point it North. Maybe that’s why I had to do it a second time back to back.
