Does anyone know what voltage goes to the Cgo3 and Gimbal on a Q500 4k. I know it powers up through the plug on the bottom of the Q500 but I have not been able to find anywhere that it tells how many volts are going to them. I know the Steady Grip takes 8 AA batteries so I'd have to assume that...

I have an Itelite and an external antenna on the camera. I tried the Itelite first and it help. But still loosing video. So I installed the camera antenna. And I'm very well pleased. Actually got out to 5000 ft. although that's not a normal distance I fly. I was so happy to have constant video I...

I guess their marketing and promotion people are just better or at least more active. I'm not convinced that DJI is that much better than other brands. I don't claim my Yuneec is the best. In fact if I were buying the same class/type quad today I can't say I buy Yuneec again. But I don't think...

I've battled this problem since day 1 with my Q5004k. I'm not sure there is a 100% fix. I have installed an Itelite external antenna on my ST10 and an external antenna on my Cgo3. I still lose signal, only not as bad. As a matter of fact if I had it to do over I don't know if I'd do either of...

Your location to the airport could very well be your trouble. I have come to the conclusion that any wifi or maybe other type transmissions can interfere with the 5.8 signal between the ST10 and Cgo3 camera. I live in East Texas. It's in the oilfield and wells are everywhere. Most all these...

I read your post again. The charger I posted about is what I use on the batteries in the drone itself. I have used several different USB plug-in chargers on my ST10 with no problem. The only thing is the length of time, speed of charging may be different. This Hitec charger had a USB charging...

If you have to buy anything to charge with, go ahead and buy a good charger. You'll want one eventually anyway. I bought this one: HITEC X2 AC Plus Dual Charger, AC/DC High Output I've been very satisfied. You can do more with it as far as battery up keep and maintenance than with the factory...

I usually watch the wind before I ever decide to fly. I read 12 -15 mph is max for the Q500. I have a UAV forecast app on my phone I rely pretty closely on. It gives wind and other information. Also it's been my experience that if you encounter some wind turbulence, a very slight altitude change...

I had the same problem on two different comp./operating sys. Tried different media players with the same results. Then I started using this one: Home · MPC-HC I have had satisfactory results from it. No jerking and skipping. I never have learned how to change from 4K to 1080 like a previous post...

I wouldn't think you have "Trashed" the batteries. I started out with little to no knowledge of Lipos and their use. Couple that with some bad information from a selling hobby shop and I put my batteries through the mill at first. Those two batteries are still good. They don't last as long as...

I've been having this myself for sometime. Read several discussions about it suggesting pushing the camera rest. Some seem to think that the problem actually began before take off by starting out with the Q unleveled. I have never been able to tell myself. Has anyone actually gotten assistance...

Try looking at these two videos. This guy is pretty sharp on the Q and really up on his camera and video settings. I've used his suggestions with good luck. Jeff is his name. I have contacted him with questions he will help.

That's what I just discovered. The original post to this thread was about a Q. When I saw your reading I thought you were talking about a Q as well.

Your voltage readings have me curious?

Carolina Dronz has this sun shade for the ST10. It is a good product. After using the one that came with my Q I usually tried to just watch where I was standing or find some shade. It is pretty bad. Frank to the rescue, This is a larger shade that he sells and it works great. I would recommend...
