Are you on the current firmware? Did you do a compass calibration first? Is there magnetic interference where you are trying to calibrate? Is the calibration surface level and stable? after the firmware update (I did mine OTA) I did a gimbal calibration three times and I have no issues.

It will as long as you are in GPS mode. I always wait for it to get a good satellite lock befor spinning up the motors.

After looking at the finished images from Drone Deploy 4:3 is the way to go. Better end result. When looking at the individual images it looks like the 16:9 ones are just a cropped 4:3 image with possibly a digital zoom to provide the correct ratio. 16:9 files are smaller sized than 4:3.

One other thought, what aspect ratio do most use for mapping photos? 16:9 or 4:3? 16:9 May give more side overlap but not sure if Drone deploy uses the wider field of view. It does process the images fine though

Yeah winds were calm when I flew it. Gusts to 5 mph. Not a huge impact but some. I think pic every 2 seconds was overkill though especially at 11mph. Going to play with it to find the sweet spot.

I did 2 polygon missions this weekend. 80% overlap and image capture every 2 seconds. Elevation 297 feet. My big concern is the time it takes to run. Speed was set to 11 mph. Explorer estimated time to complete as just over 13 minutes. Actual flight time was 22:46 and RTH initiated before the...

Oh I know that. Started on a Syma then graduated to a Traxxas Aton and now the Evo. Finally got it in the air today and was working on some photography skills. Put together this video.

P Looks like it is only Boat Mode that will need the new firmware if I’m reading those notes correctly.

Hi all, pulled the trigger on the BB deal last week. Had to go out of state for a funeral so have not taken it up yet but hopefully this weekend I will get it in the air and adjusted to my liking.
