liteglow,
I sent my Compass to the following address: North America Customers: DJI Innovations ATTENTION: COMPASS RECALL 2301 W Anderson Lane Suite 200 Austin, Tx 78757 This is the address that I received from DJI, when I filled out the form, in their original posting. |

S800 is a great platform for the Zenmuse. But honestly i would prefer a stiff carbon frame for any other head. |

Fill out the form and that will get you a return Email with an RMA #.
Take that RMA# and send it to your dealer who will send you a new one. No need for you to send it to China. Cliff |

Anyone know if DJI will replace a V1 compass? I know DJI says that the V1 compass does not have any problems; but, I figure it would be better to be safe than sorry and have it replaced with the newer version with the firmware update. I sent DJI an e-mail about this already, and they simply said for me to contact my dealer (I am waiting to hear from them).

s800 Arm Mod
I created a very strong and lightweight arm modification. The arm is significantly more rigid, vertically, horizontally, and torsionally. It will BARELY flex when signficant manual forces are applied to it in all directions (the largest amount of flex is vertical flex between the motor mount and the end of the CF insert). And, if I may say so, it looks pretty decent.
Added mass: 4 grams per arm. Basic operation: Cut a carbon fiber I-beam into two T-beams, cut a slit down the length of the s800 arm. Sand the CF insert with 80 grit, clean all surfaces with isopropyl alcohol, rapidly run a propane torch flame over the s800 arm slit once or twice, fill the slit and coat the insert with G-Flex epoxy, insert the insert and clamp in place. The s800 arm curves upward VERY slighty along its length. However, a slight amount of pressure from the clamps causes the insert to conform to this shape. Note: West Systems 655 thickened G-Flex epoxy is very strong boating epoxy that is perfect for the job. It has a working time of about 45 minutes, and is specifically designed to withstand vibrations and slight flex, all while being incredibly strong. It is also designed to bond to various plastics and varied materials. Its consistency is just right for the this job. ImagesView all Images in thread
