    Is the Matrice 100 really all that and a bag of chips? Or...

    Hello Robert, sorry for delay, shooting in Hawaii at moment. Wow, great videos and pics. Outta Control is completely correct, however I would still stay away from a Hexacopter. I say this because of your payload weight and cost. You are building a copter to safely propel your camera through the...

    the cooling fan should be sticking out of bottom plate not top and may be close to the butt of your bottom battery compartment. I have not had chance to fly past few days to test.

    Do you have chassis build V1 or V2?

    Yes towards tail. It was direclty flush with bottom battery. I found greater stability and have not experienced wobble since. However, I have only flown with dual once since noticing the issue. I'll test it out later today again with dual. And I will adjust the top battery back and forth...

    That's the ticket. I just built a f550, e310 propulsion, A2, Lightbridge, H4-3d with H4, retractable skid. Same if not less than M100. Still fully cudtomizable, not sure about developer angle tho. I can purchase or make arm extensions and add larger motors specifically the E800 Could do the same...

    Absolutely. You could then add a single or multiple Raspberry PI boards to operate any other components. I made a mistake by buying the M100. Build your own! At least then you are the build master, and when it breaks, you fix it, not DJI.

    Great video! Yes that's the wobble I am experiencing also. Only experiencing that with dual battery? That's the only time I have noticed it. Might try and move the top battery as far back as possible. It did work for me. Despite the CG. It seems to me that Attitude gains may be a little stiff...

    Me too. I have never once felt comfortable using my Matrice. It gets maybe 20 min of flight a week. I do not trust it. If it were cheaper I would risk it. But it's not. I will say they are making effort towards having the Matrice consumer ready. Most importantly by finally assugning it own FW...

    Matrice 100 Build! Battery compartment and X3

    Same here. I notice it when ascending/descending and adding left or right yaw. It is very unsettling. I moved my battery compartments as far back as they will go. Seems to of help A little bit. However I have not flown it so much because of noticing this issue. And when I do fly it I'm only...

    Finally I was able to get the attention of someone to help me. Tim from Hong Kong stepped up to bat and crushed it with a simple resolve. They will send a new one out and I will send broken one to them. I understand that DJI has a lot of return request and they must filter through them. My...

    Matrice 100 Build! Battery compartment and X3

    The Matrice 100 is good for its purpose (a platform to develop hardware and software) For all round purpose my P3, P2 V+, and Inspire 1 are my go to for getting the job done. As for speed difference, the Matrice 100 is as fast and at times faster than the Inspire 1. Its hard for me to test at...

    I'm am truly sorry for your misfortune. I'm having a really hard time getting even the smallest support on a battery. I also have a phantom three in service at this current moment. So I totally relate with what you're going through. If there were just a little bit better communication, I could...

    Thank you and I will contact him. Spoke with LA yesterday. Seems Jacob and James are the 2 gentlemen that I continue to speak with. They help as much as they can. On the lighter side, received extra battery compartment. Installed it and now waiting on good batteries to fill them. I'll post pics...
