"Joerg,
I had a similar problem and I second what Richard said. You may want to follow the instructions for calibrating the ESCs one at a time. That was the only thing that worked for me.

Hi all,I'm running 2.9.1 on an APM 1 board and since updating my stock quad has not been the same. Thanks to Randy's help, we've determined that the new code doesn't play well with the older chipset.…Continue

Hey all,I have an annoying issue that's plaguing my tuning... During radio calibration the values nudge up and down very slightly even when the radio is at a resting state. It's particularly…Continue

Not sure where the appropriate place is for this sort of thing, but recently I was having trouble with my MB1200 sonar that was shipped with my 3DR kit. No matter what the distance, I always received…Continue

Jason Tinacci replied to Jason Tinacci's discussion Copter Frames camera gimbals"That's great to hear. Can you share some photos of your setup? What frame are you using this on and how are you mounting the gimbal to the frame? Using a separate controller and BEC for the servos/motors?"

Anders Hansen replied to Jason Tinacci's discussion Copter Frames camera gimbals"Hi,
I recently received my ThreeDee gimbal, and assembled it this evening..
It looks like a very decent kit, good precision in the manufacturing. And high quality components as well.
Only problem I have found so far is some slack on the roll…"
Jason Tinacci replied to Patrick Ziegler's discussion Hi All... Newbie looking for direction..."Hi Patrick and welcome!
Let me say that as a pro photographer it's been really rewarding to shoot from a new perspective. Of course, I'm only using my images for personal use as the FAA doesn't permit commercial use of drones - if…"
Oxxy Fx replied to Jason Tinacci's discussion Sonar help needed"Did you try to measure the analog voltage output of the sonar? Does it change when you point your module to different objects?
Maybe you have a defective unit."

Jason Tinacci replied to Quinn McLaughlin's discussion DSLR control from ArduCopter"That's a DJI Zenmuse gimbal, I believe. Costs $3500 and is apparently worth it!
Nice work, Ahmed.
There's a company that makes their own version of this gimbal at fraction of the price:http://www.copterframes.com/index.php?route=common/home"
Jason Tinacci replied to Jason Tinacci's discussion Install previous firmware"Thanks for the replies. The one that ended up working for me was the one that started with "bb5ee0e..." Not sure why it's different from yours Thomas. Actually, I had to try a couple of others like "320cab..." and…"
S Dalas replied to Jason Tinacci's discussion Install previous firmware"UPDATE: I just used the scroll wheel on my mouse over the MP screen with vrs's of APM and as you scroll the icon info changes to different versions. I will try 2.8 and see if my APM 2.5.1 passes the accel sequence.

"@Jason,
See if you can find: 55ff88a35ed8e625088cc48981c74f3fdf7857bc. This should be ArduCopter 2.8.1.
Hope this helps.

Hi all,I'm running 2.9.1 on an APM 1 board and since updating my stock quad has not been the same. Thanks to Randy's help, we've determined that the new code doesn't play well with the older chipset. I'd like to reinstall v2.8.1 since I my quad behaved nicely with that code.How do I do that? I've searched the boards but have been unsuccessful in finding instructions. I downloaded the firmware but getting it onto the board has been illusive. I see the "Pick previous firmware" link under the…See More

It really takes very little to become hooked on all this UAV stuff... Of course the learning curve for a complete and utter noob such as myself has been immense, but the payoff has been equally so. Being able to send my stock 3DR soaring above a sun-baked vineyard and have it return with a treasure trove of images including one like this, make all the time, frustration and money completely worth it!
Thanks to all of the developers, testers and enthusiasts…
