just got a H501ss and have a few questions
Posted: Thu Dec 27, 2018 1:13 am
been going great so far with this drone. Very impressed with the RTH feature but have a couple questions.
1- any tips for getting gps connections. It seems to take a while for the controller and x4 to start showing GPS connections. I wasnt sure if there was a order to turning things on, controller first or drone. or once i have them on to set them right by each other with the drone camera facing the controller for example. Just some tips on getting the gps connections quickly so i can start flying. It was actually kinda embarrassing. I was trying to show family the drone and it took about 10 minutes until i could get a good connection.
-should i not turn either on until i am outside or does that not matter.
2- the trim buttons. Do you ever really need those. It seems to hold good and stable but wasnt sure how often people use those.
3- what is the little black filter thing it came with with in the tiny bag. it says a "filter for stable image under high light" but doesnt say how to install it. Do i put it right on the camera lens? do you always use it or only during the day?
4- i am thinking about doing the antenna mod and wanted to see what issues people have ran into. the top of my controller looks like it has tabs i can pop out. am i still drilling holes or do they "pop" out. How are the connections made, clip on, glue, solder? Is there a way to tell it was done right or wrong? any tips for this process?
5- every now and then i have to do the compass calibration. One youtube video i saw mentioned the newest version had a updated compass and firmware that you dont do that anymore. Did i get an old one or just need to update the firmware?
