    Gimbal trouble

    Looks like you have stripped the gears on the servo. To me that is a design flaw, I had the exact same issue. Search in this forum and you will find a solution.

    Shorted my Mantis, need help with the repair

    I saw one few moons back for $90 @ $Bay. Or else wait for a mini to hit mid 200's and get one close to Xmas. Usually the electronics are protected against high voltage input via diodes which I think that what burned out in your case. But its a pain in the you know what to repair so I do...

    Anyone successfully achieved the advertised range?

    I also had a husky and that boy used to just gun it and then forget the way back. Reminds me of my drone now LOL. We got chickens one day and this guy played with them like rubber ducks. Did you point directly at the drone since these toys are directional beasts? I am using 2 different...

    Camera range of motion limited, won't point high enough to view horizon.

    Care to tell us what you fixed?

    mantis q - power up

    Usually when opening this drone, I always end up with a non functional toy. I always have to go back and make sure that the wires are connected. Some times, I need to unplug and replug the cable that comes down from the top power switch. Now the other issue I seen a few times is that the drone...

    This should get you started. https://yuneecpilots.com/threads/hello-mantis-q-camera-will-not-tilt.16237/#post-219956 That is the gear I was talking about, just detach, calibrate the camera and put it back so it is connected to the motor...

    Camera range of motion limited, won't point high enough to view horizon.

    I had the same issue and this ( long story) might help you a bit. 1st flight, I crashed the drone and broke the servo( actual plastic gear connected to servo) that controls the camera. Purchased new servo and gears and reinstalled all. ( PaIN IN THE NECK) Noticed that I could command the...

    Any custom PX4 code for Mantis Q?

    Very interesting ..... I think that would be their stock design and then mod it for different areas. Also that the antennas are part of the arms which would be a better design than sandwiching a single one in a dense area. What where they thinking?

    Best would be to look at the logs. I am sure something will show up there for your benefit. Hopefully small issue. -a

    Anyone successfully achieved the advertised range?

    So what is your max range? meaning pointing directly @ the drone. in that case maybe your connector or traces on board could be cut.

    Any custom PX4 code for Mantis Q?

    Interesting .... Now you are getting me into trouble ..... asking the boss for debug gear budget and I am sure she will not be happy. :) The wifi password issue is: People forget the password and also lost the sticker on the drone. Password could be cracked or pulled from the board. By the...

    Any custom PX4 code for Mantis Q?

    Understood, now you get me into tinkering also. Many people here have issues with their wifi passwords. :)

    Any custom PX4 code for Mantis Q?

    Not really, I disagree. I am all for creative juices flowing, that is what makes this "hobby" fun. As I mentioned in my prior post, this thing is suffering from thermal issues (in my case). I understand that your issue might be different and that could be another nail on the coffin. Here in...

    Any custom PX4 code for Mantis Q?

    j76, The hardware is pretty slow and thermal throttling is limiting it badly. Lets say that you have full access to the hardware, what are you planning to do with it? I have designed many RTOS related pet projects, this one however I decided not to mess with. Now if we had headroom on the...
