    Nice Vid, Are you in Trim? I've just built a tricopter which I intend to use for FPV, I'd like to see your DJI in action.

    Yep, sure am. Just waiting for new gimbal to arrive and for the weather to pick up!

    Are you flying Fpv or steering from the ground?

    Having a problem with my lipos, only getting 3mins flight time, think it's the charger, I have a new charger on the slow boat from china, hopefully that will sort it out. IIl post some pics when the weather improves

    Just flying from the ground at the minute. I have a Foxtech FPV transmitter but no receiver. I also have a video cable en route to suit the Hero 2 (it's on the same slow boat as yours). I've no idea exactly what frequency the Foxtech transmits on so I'm assuming if I get my hands on a 32 ch receiver that it should pick up the signal somewhere across the various channels.

    Fitted the gimbal over the weekend and took a short test flight out the back garden. Footage is amazing compared to flying with no gimbal. Can't wait until this weather improves. Even in the sheltered space of my back garden, the wind was playing havoc with the phantom!

    I have a 2.4g receiver if you want to try it? Its a cheap one I got on ebay, but it worked for a FPV plane I had.

    First decent weather in a while, hope to get a bit of flight testing in today

    Absolutely! I'd love to try it. Got my cable during the week and had intended to fly today but I ended up going for a spin on my kayak instead. By the time I got back home the wind had picked up so I didn't bother.

    Maybe next weekend?

    Highly unlikely we'll be flying tomorrow. Forecast is for more of the same - wind and rain........

    I've made some modifications to the Tri. I'll do some flight testing to see if it's more effective at avoiding the ground
