DJI F550 Modifications

[Arrow 1969]

To cold to go flying my S900 decided to build a F550, here are some modifications, fitted a tall landing gear have shortened the upper rails so I can fit a DJI gimbal bracket using homemade carbon fibre brackets, as well as a under slang battery tray.

Can I ask now you';ve connected your strobon lights?
What';s powering them? This is the one bit that';s stumping me with adding strobes.
Thanks.

Hi the strobes i used plug into a auxiliary channel draw power through the receiver and also enable you to switch them on and off in the air.

You can buy them from see links below i used to types on mine hope this helps.

That';s okay, they work really well and are easy to wire up.

Cheers for that.
Think I have a spare channel on the receiver.

Hiya

Where did you get the gimbal bracket from? Would it fit a F450 too do you know?

Cheers

It is a DJI-1138 Mounting Adapter it say';s it fits a F550 I don';t see why it won';t fit a 450, it is designed to go with the DJI landing gear which fits a 550 and a 450 I made 2 brackets because I didn';t want to use the DJI landing gear.
