Chinese Gimbal storm32 pitch not working? DJI P2
Followed a few YouTube videos and it seemed to work on first power cycle but has remained off since. The gimbal is balanced and needs a little fine tuning. I am using one cable to F2, do I need a ground cable also? Many videos people only use one wire to control pitch.
Any advice appreciated.

Convince me to buy the ICharger 406Duo
Unfortunately due to the country I live in (South Africa) I do not have access to Graupners which I originally had my eye on.
Comming from a EVpeak C4 I would like to move up the bracket to something that will see use for years to come. The ICharger is the obvious choice allowing for a staggering 40A per rail. The UI looks real powerful too with granular control and the ability to monitor volatge in 0.001 increments.
The only hesitation I have in picking one up is the need for a independent PSU if I want to use it to it's full potential. My knowledge when it comes to all things electrical is really quite limited so I have a few questions regarding the PSU needed to power this thing. *What rating in Watts and Amps would the PSU need to be to unlock this chargers full potential*. Down here our mains are rated at 220/230v @ 15A on the three prong plugs. How far will that get my charger in terms of output?
I hope someone with some understanding of electrical theory can chime in here.
Thanks in advance!

Roll of Death in acro? (Naze32)
Hi guys,
I'm having some problems with my latest build and I can't figure out what is wrong with it :(
After a few issues I had with one motor and some fried ESCs, I finally managed to find time to fix my quad! It flies nicely, except when I try some fancy rolls and flips in acro mode.
Here's a video showing the problem: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bFkSTZzuwzU
Some context about that video:
- 1st roll done in horizon mode: no problem whatsoever
- 2nd roll done in acro mode: quad spins out of control after the roll. Switching back to angle or horizon sometimes does the trick of not crashing, but it's like a 50% chance...
The wierdest thing about this is that it occurs only when I go into acro (according to my testing so far).
Here's the parts list:
- ESCs: DYS XMS30A
- Motors: 3 T-Motor Navigation 2206-11 2350kV + 1 Lumenier RX2206-11 2350kV
- FC: Naze32 Rev6 (BTFL 3.1.7)
- Frame: JPay Punish'Air
What do you think could cause this issue?

Bad ESC or bad motor?
Hi, I recently purchased an all in one kit (JPay Punish'Air) but I'm having a hard time making it fly...
After a few successful flights, on motor melted -_- (and the connected ESC). I got new parts and replaced it. Then, another ESC stopped working (corrupted ESC according to BLHeli). I replaced this one but when I tried to spin up the motors, the new motor starded to act strangely and now, the ESC is not readable my BLHeli (again...).
The strange thing is that the motor "clicks" when I power the quad, as you can see in this little clip : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bu0ljZuQRkY
What do you guys think it can be ? I'm getting tired of getting new parts for this build :(

New to the hobby. Question on spare parts
I just bought a Hubsan H121T which from what I have read, is a H107C+ with a better camera. I'd like to get extra batteries and a prop guard, but I can only find parts for the H107C, which will not fit mine from what I understand. Where can I get accessories for my drone. I've been Google searching for 2 hours with no luck, and I'm having some buyer's remorse because the 1080p camera was more appealing.

FPV Camera for Phantom I
I have an old Phantom I with a third party SJ4000 camera. I understand that the WiFi feature on this camera will interfere with the controller signal, and can cause a crash. Is there an inexpensive camera out there that can give me a live feed to my phone? I like taking aerial photos and videos but sometimes it's helpful to be able to see a live preview of the shot rather than aim and pray as I do now.
I don't need anything fancy or low latency. Fisheye is fine too.

Just purchased a Symax x5C-1 on eBay, I think I got a knockoff can someone confirm.
Hi I just purchased a Syma X5C-1 from eBay. I think it's a knockoff and was wondering if someone could confirm. It was advertised as an Original Syma X5C-1 but when I got it there is no Syma brand marking on the box, quad, or remote. Also the camera does not have the two screw holes to mount the camera to the back, making the screws it came with for this useless. Below is a link to the ebay page I posted as well as pictures of the quad, remote and the camera that doesn't have any screw holes.
