My DJI S1000 will not take off. A2 Lights are all good. Remote has gimble control GPS is connected When plugged into computer - calibration and motor test is good. Thoughts on how to get it flying?
Probably best to head over to RCGroups or MultiRotorForums. Being that this is the Freefly forum some folks here are flying DJI A2s on their Cinestars, but to my knowledge there are no S1000 fliers here. I don't think it'll fly a MōVI.
Have you followed the DJI A2 flight check list carefully? One thought - make sure the direction of your throttles is correct (pushing up indicates an increase in the corresponding channel as expected). I bought a used s1000 and the controls had to be reversed and motor start wouldn't respond as a result.
I suggest learning the basic. Why do you need gimbal control on the remote. Unless its a 1 man solution. But then again which buttons work with what. Please explain more since this makes no sence. You probably bought a used unit. Was the unit flying with this setup. Or did you recive maybe 2 remotes. Maybe only with camera remote???
Bruce: Need to check your Transmitter stick throws (how far they travel) in the A2 Assistant software and make sure they reach the endpoints, and are centered. Also make sure you calibrate the sticks in the Assistant. The motors will still spin up in Assistant, even if your sticks are off. Make sure you calibrate IMU and compass too. Mine did't start the other day, and I had leaned on the subtrim next to the sticks...again...and not much either. Threw off the CSC (two stick arming) and wouldn't Arm. I don't know why someone would automatically assume you didn't know the basics? I've sure got gimbal control on my remote. I've seen videos of the s1000 carrying a Movi M5, so it must be possible...lol Don't know what gimbal you are flying. This is a Freefly forum, more for Cinestar and Mikrokopter stuff. You will probably find more answers in the RC Groups: http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1677105&page=804
Here's a quick clip of the DJI s1000 wih A2 and the MOVI m5 mounted using the FreeFly Systems toad-in-the-hole. I have modified the landing gear with longer legs and replaced the center support board with a stronger, after market board that covers the full frame (not just four of the eight arms). I'm using the DJI AVL58 with a kopterworks HDMI - SD converter and the DJI IOS mini (the telemetry data isn't working yet on this for some reason). Shot of the rig in flight: Flyover of industrial area in roughly 10 knot wind with gust from 12-15.
This is the one I purchased - took a while from eastern Europe: http://www.globe-flight.de/DJI-S1000-UPGRADE-Carbon-Fiber-Reinforcement-Plate-Anti-Jello
