Combine the immersive recording capability of your GoPro HERO with the agility of a multi-rotor RC aircraft, and the stability of a three-axis gimbal for the ultimate aerial video experience. Included in the "ready-to-fly" TALI H500 Hexacopter FPV Kit with 3-Axis Gimbal and Case from Walkera you will find all of the basics required to get started - apart from the GoPro HERO itself. The six-rotor design gives the H500 more power than comparable quad-rotor configurations, making it more than capable even under the combined weight of the Gimbal, camera, and a full tank of gas. The flight controls system - really a sophisticated mini computer - provides a autonomy that flying a complex multi-rotor system requires. Choose among several flight modes, from highly automated GPS-assistance for beginners to manual control for better maneuverability. Additional, the integrated GPS means you can take advantage of "smart" features such as intelligent orientation control (IOC), return home fail-safe, and "orbital" flying.
With the H500 you won't be flying blind. The included transmitter (handheld radio controller) features a built-in 5" screen for FPV (first-person view) flying. A video transmitter relays a composite video feed from the camera to the ground-end via a 5.8 GHz downlink, complete with telemetry data superimposed over the video image. The transmitter is configure Mode 2 (the default for North American fliers) and uses the 2.4 GHz frequency range for the control signal to avoid interference from the video downlink. Both video and control signals have a line-of-sight range of up to 3,280' (depending on weather and other factors).
A 5400mAh LiPo flight battery is included, and can provide up to 25 minutes of flying time. The battery slots into the tail of the aircraft and features LED indicators so that the remaining capacity can be checked without relying the transmitter's OSD display. A special charger is included, and care must be taken to follow proper charging protocol when recharging the battery to ensure safety and avoid damage to the battery. To store and transport the TALI H500 and included accessories, a wheeled hard case come with the bundle.
Remote Tilt and Cant Control
To operate the gimbal there are two dials on the transmitter; the one on left side controls tilt, while the one on the right controls cant (whether the horizon appears level). The dials are "notched" in the center making it easy to return the camera to a level position
Slide On/Slide Off Mounting
Simply loosen a single thumbscrew and slide the gimbal off its mounting rail to remove it completely from the H500. All of the electronics for the video and control signals are passed through a single ribbon cable that easily unplugs from the bottom of the aircraft
In addition to the on-board display, there is a composite video output on a 3.5mm connector so that you can use a field monitor of FPV goggles. There is also a headphone jack - also 3.5mm - so that you can hear the audible alerts without disturbing others
Note: Correct IOC orientation requires the pilot remain standing in the same position from which the H500 took off
With proper GPS calibration, pressing a single button on the transmitter (remote control) will cause the H500 to fly back to the "home point" where it first took off
Failsafe Return to Home
When enabled, the aircraft will automatically fly back to the "home point" if the signal from the transmitter is ever lost
Warning: GPS must be calibrated before each flight to use these features. Otherwise, the H400 may fly toward its default home point, which may be in another country!
Note: Refer to the user guide before charging the battery, as the charger requires proper configuration and charging must be terminated manually once the battery reaches capacity. Failure to do so may result in the battery catching fire or exploding
