[@gadgetfreak786]

Your explanation is done so easily. Really appreciate the help. I looked at so many setups and yours makes perfect sense. YOU ARE THE MAN!!!!

[@Glendram]

Hi Ali, i could not have completed my Naza GPS upgrade without this series of installation videos. I have not calibrated and had a test fly yet but i feel very confident having followed your instructions. I was so lost !!! Thank you so much , Glen. ps,, great to see your wife Maryam flying and doing so well too !!! .

[@GarretB123]

Thanks Ali! I have a DJI Naza and GPS with a 450 Flamewheel on the bench. I have motors installed, but yet to install speed controllers. This tutorial series will help with the setup! Much thanks!

[@carr869]

My new Futaba radio arrived today. Thank you Alishanmao for the videos. (Tom)

[@Jackalopeaf]

so Far this video has been a big help to me.. I just happened to have the same exact Radio and reciever, As well as the newest naza m V2.. thanks

[@TheArtross]

Thx Ali. I kept poking around and found it. Interestingly it was not included nor even spoken of. For a neophyte like me, it would have been very helpful.

[@blackmennewstyle]

Actually you can find setup video for specktrum transmitter, futaba transmitter even hitec transmitter, it seems this DJI Naza has a lot of success!

[@GeorgeBonez]

For folks that are using BEC enabled ESC's like the Mystery ESC's make sure that you pull the RED wire and make sure that your ESC wires are BLACK-wire-UP connecting to the NAZA! I am Using the Turnigy 9XR TX and the Orange 9CH DSM2 RX and my quad is flying "like a Dream come true"! I mean anyone can fly a quad like a pro once your NAZA is setup correctly. The challenge is wiring and radio settings. Once you get those 2 things right a 10 year old kid thats never flown anything b4 can fly it!:)

[@CrashPilot1000]

I think the fruitplate exactly placed at one arm of the quad is the most important thing for a successful DJI Naza setup :) ! Besides, during building and fiddeling with my quads i normally eat several apples - no joke. While eating and looking at the things it's not seldom to have a good idea. So long Kraut Rob aka Crashpilot

[@abhi7232]

Hi, I am literally watching this video series on the night before my final engineering project seminar; its 2:33 AM in the morning. Just stopped by to say that i have the exact same project and this video is going to save my ass.... Keep up the good work mate, Cheers!!

[@garrykennedy5484]

Dang it Alishanmao. I saw that plate of apple slices and remembered I bought some apples a while ago. So I went to the fridge and pulled out my bag of........well...... It was a while ago. Guess it's time to clean out the fridge...... Apple sauce anyone? LOL

[@FPV4x4Action]

Great video! Just to add, I use my R2008SB in S.Bus mode to the Naza, works just as well but 1 wire instead of 7. Bit less spaghetti on the quad :)

[@FPV4x4Action]

No mixing needed but I had to swap a couple of channels over on the Tx, there's a wee diagram in the Naza manual which shows the S.bus channel mappings. The single lead supplies power to the Rx and does the control signals.

[@QuadFilmProduktion]

You don't have to remove the positive wire from the servoplug. All of the positive pins in the NAZA-M controller is connected, so it will not "burn" or anything. I fly it with on my quad with UBEC builtin my ESC, and none of the positive leads is removed, and it flyes perfect.

[@josuefabiancadena7428]

Seria la misma configuración para un control RadioLink AT9... Muy buenos Videos... Gracias..

[@marshallh101]

love the apple set up

[@TheAndrewFernandez]

Nice Vid Ali. BTW, eat those apples before they change colour mate!

[@Sukkurashu]

that is exactly what i'm looking for since at least a week! can you please show how to configure the switch f for the failsafe? i use switch e for selecting the flightmode but i don't know how to configure switch f for failsafe. The T8J is my first 2.4 ghz control. Thank you very much

[@ReneNieuwenhuis]

I use one 3 position switch for the 3 flightmodes and another switch for failsafe that works for all the 3 flightmodes. Are you saying that's not possible or am I misunderstanding? I use Spektrum DX8 but don't think that's different.

[@badum4ek]

Why not put your ESCs on top of arms? It would look better and potentially allow you to install all the antennas below arms?

[@Sukkurashu]

You talked about this "feature" in one of your videos. You said that you can switch into the failsafe mode from every flight mode by using an extra 2 position switch. And everyone tells me i must mix the switches. in this "tutorial" you show the t8j which is exact my model.

[@beaver2206]

I have all of the copter parts, though I don't have any apples. Does this matter?

[@ponebarahbaje6882]

beaver2206 you will need the apples, that's the most important part of the setup You can buy it from nearest store (unless you are living in Antarctica, in that case just be safe from polar bears, because if they eat you then your setup-apples will be of no use)

[@AceBullion]

Get rid of 98% of those wires by using the Dbus You only need one cable to the reciever!!!! not all them! wow.

[@DotoRossi]

Great video Ali!

[@peterlock4982]

sorry if this is dumb question but with m lite can I have yaw on right control stick and roll n left stick? will be ordering one as soon as I find the answer ..... cheers

[@rogersalguero8406]

What type of battery did you use to hook up to the autopilot and the receiver? Do you recommend any name brand in particular?

[@CainanParker]

where did you get those apples? delicious.

[@xanderj23]

Nice apples

[@jimcervantes9043]

I wan't to know. FPV is getting very popular. And with it many are going with Frsky Taranis since it's powerful radio with open source firmware. I wan't to know what's you're opinion since I notice you are making a lot of video of quad copter. And are you going to get one and make videos? Ty

[@jrizzo909]

all you guys not connecting should understand that only 8 wires (Quad) should be plugged into your Naza. The 4 from ESC M1 - M4. The S-BUS servo lead from port X2 into the S-BUS port on the RX!!!! The V-SEN servo lead goes into port X3. Then the standard L.E.D. and GPS connections go in their designated place. Thats it fellas...I had problems until I switched TX and RX. I went from a DT7 and the accompanying RX and never achieved flight, let alone connection to Naza. So I wound up buying a Radiolink AT9 with the R9ds rx and connected and flying within hours of delivery...Hope this helps you. Oh yeah the TX and RX are less than 100 on Amazon with Prime next day delivery...

[@rankovsrdjan]

I have Futaba 7 and dji naza on quadcopter. Work well, but need to mix some channels to have Fail-safe when turn off Futaba. Sorry for B.E. :)

[@jhunspirit3315]

hello.. alishanmao sorry if disturb you.. i always watch in your videos and i like it to be watch. because i learn from your set up. ah ali. do you know the have a new controller now in the market and i saw in youtube on December 2014 i think this a new release. and i dont know if you know this JIYI P2 Flight Controller. i saw some guy he fly this controller and he Play Indoor--Super Stability. and i want to see you fly Demo on this a new JIYI P2 controller

[@brimest0ne]

I did find this about the ESC, "BEC Output: 5V@3A (linear model)" Thanks

[@Ginogizio]

Thanks a lot Ali, I will buy it right now! Hug.

[@pierreseynaeve5982]

You make my day ! Thanks ;)

[@rodrigomincoff9890]

Ali YOU ARE AWESOME!! Just wanted to tell you that!! Oh, amm, can you please make a review of the hitec aurora 9? Or would you make a video on how to set up naza with the aurora 9?

[@GeorgeBonez]

Ali my Mystery FireDragon ESC's are BEC: 2A so that means I need to pull my red clips or clip the red wire right? I am not able to arm so this has got to be the problem..

[@GarretB123]

Does it matter which direction the naza points on the frame?

[@JeremySmithPhotography]

I was wondering the same thing, I think I will stick with the S-Bus.

[@thedjgee]

Why not use the S-bus option and leave the rest of the spagetti in the box ;-). One cable from RX to Naza controller!!!

[@georgewu8134]

I have question, Do you know how can I link the Futaba R2006GS to the Naza multi rotor? It's for a quadcopter F450.

[@chvishal]

hahaha "fire a missle..trigger a explosin..hit a building..ooh what am i thinking"

[@chvishal]

***** =)p

[@Jimmyboy1674]

I tried flying with this controller but I couldn't connect to it! Does DJI still support it?

[@CoryZuber]

5:07 HIT A BUILDING HAHAHAHAHAHAH funniest moment in the video

[@TheArtross]

Great videos Ali. One question. Does this parameter setting screen come up when you plug in your Naza only? I've installed the software DJI sent, however it is for ground station. Should I have something else?

[@RaphSwag06]

For the ESC with BEC do i have to cut off all the red wire or do i leave 1 with on? thx!

[@lanceblack3127]

I have a DJI F550 with NAZA-M and GPS, would like to fly FPV with this unit and I would like to know what futaba TX-RX would you recommend?

[@dilipl8470]

Hi i have some questions, a total newbie. Can you put some detailed pictures of the wiring between the naza and the receiver (which colour cables are on the upper end on both the parts...naza and receiver). and then the right way to connect the esc to the naza. thanks

[@JKjellCR]

Hello, great videos, how does the orientation of the NAZA on the frame affects?

[@SinEscalasTV]

Hi! I have a Turnigy x9 I can setup the same way that the Futaba?

[@Bighorn3610re]

I have a question, I had set my system up as per you 3 part instruction, worked great, Thank you. But now I am building a new quad with DJI NAZA and the Futaba T8J radio, when I went in and tried calibrating the receiver the stick movement does not show up in the DJI assist program. I can arm and disarm the motors with the stick movements but it does not show up in NAZA, any ideas?? Any assistance would be appreciated

[@xitanm8963]

Nice video, and do you have part 2 ? Thank you

[@humanmissile]

you could just use S-bus port on your futaba reciever to x2 on naza, no?

[@pgirnus]

My naza m v2 gradually loses power to esc's after only a few min of flight and lands wherever it is at. Even with full throttle have you seen this issue? Not in failsafe or voltage protection mode normal led signals.

[@kyewrightdronepilot5063]

has the battery got be fully charged before I update firmware

[@laurier10010]

must remove every naza the red cable? I have the naze m lite. and i have bec speed controlers.

[@tqexplosion]

Hi Ali, i have a quick question, is the DJI Naza board only for multirotors or can you use it on planes as well?

[@sooji2012]

I have question about that. These days I build a drone which main controller is NAZA-M-LITE. I wonder the receiver you use "R2008SB" is connected well your remote controller? My remote controller is Grapuner MZ-10.

[@Wingdinger]

Great videos! I have a question about power. The VU/LED unit powers the NAZA unit, but does it also feed power on to the RX, or will I need a separate BEC to power the RX and FPV equipment?

[@Darksagan]

Can you use the Dji BEC with any receiver such as a Frksky connected to a APM 2.5? I am using the Dji 30a opto esc so they dont have a BEC.

[@wdesign1tobe]

Hi Ali. Can you please make a video on how to setup waypoint GPS (cheaper) to make a beginner airplane fly and return back to start point if the airplane lost connection. Best regards

[@herbertrischka6442]

Schweiß auf dein Super Copter. Fang endlich an mit'n Setup für Naza

[@bertlexington7716]

Help please, I bought the naza M Lite, I have the 6ch un programmable radio...will I still be able to use the radio while setting up Naza ...

[@benjamintucker1964]

hello alishanmao , Can you please tell me if you have a video of putting Cyclops tornado OSD in a quad, Thanks from Texas

[@cliveling1351]

Hi, I need some help. I have a dji phantom 1 with dji naza m lite upgraded to v2 inside it. On RTH failsafe, the quad flies to home point and descends downwards. at the final 5m or so, it slams into the ground, takes off again, slams into the ground again and again until I take over manual control or I hand catch it, before it stops and disarms. please advice me what I need to do to fix this. thank you

[@johnblythe6453]

Hiya Ali u great video very informative could you tell me if the Naza needs its own power supply ? thanks.

[@GeorgeBonez]

Ali in your email to me you said that the NAZA isnt compatible with the new Turnigy 9XR TX so does that mean that it wont work correctly with a 9X TX as well?I know that you referred me to DJI USA but now I am afraid to order the NAZA because it may not work with my 9XR and I am pretty committed to it because I have already bought the modules etc. Is there another flight-control board that will work with my Turnigy TX other than the KK2? My FS Attitude FPV is on order right now & Im So excited

[@robertvaldivia15]

how do u connect the red and black wire coming off the v unit.HELP

[@Darksagan]

I cant choose between Apm or Dji.Any suggestions.

[@TPTVlogs]

very good

[@Lenny7118]

Ali, good explanation video. Can the S-Bus be used in installing the Naza M ?

[@aymanfatani]

Salamulaikum Mr Shanmo Can I use my Turnigy 6x with Naza Lite ? coz I have an issue when trying to do that, the Naza flashes yellow so fast and keeps in that situation :(, when the Tx is OFF the mode switches to ALT mode, and when ON it switches to the far right " EMPTY LITTLE BOX" !!!!!!!! any HELP please, does this trans. supports Naza lite ? Thanks in Advanced

[@dkhallal]

Hey Ali, nice video. Setting up a 500 quad with this unit. Have a question about why to not hook up the red esc wires. I am assuming that is the power positive wire, correct? Why is that important, many their videos don't mention that. Also, can I just hook up the signal wires only on the receiver connectors? Thanks for all your videos, one of my favorite channels on the tube.

[@shoaibkhan-eq8vp]

sir, Please help me how to make connections between quanum i8 and naza m lite. Please..please..please Help Me.

[@Ginogizio]

Hi Ali, I have a little problem with trottle and I can't find a reasonable solution. Trottle works perfect if I check on software, but if try to control it on the drone, motor start running slow and then suddenly fast once I move forward the trottle stick a bit over half the way. It should control motors progressively from the lower to the highest position and viceversa, but works only if I connect the machine to the computer checking to the manager software, so I don't understand why it doesn't act the same once unplughed. I'm using futaba Radio T8FG transmitter, and R6208SB receiver. Both motors and escs are from DJ Naza, as well the main kit NAZA V2 (yellow one) the frame is instead from X650 aircraft. Thanks so much for your help.

[@RealDyl75]

Great video, does this also apply to the receiver that comes with the Futaba T6J? (the r2006gs)

[@JORGELDELAPAZ]

Very good videos, would this setup also work on a flame wheel f550 using a futaba T10J Radio.

[@alishanmao]

yes

[@JORGELDELAPAZ]

@@alishanmao thanks

[@cafersas]

I \solve my problem with the connection , is just that the board is so picky with the kind of cable we connect .

[@colementh9651]

why should you remove the red cable from the esc, i am using the naza m lite, and my motors, when plugged in will continuously beep every 3 seconds and the led module with keep blinking red rapidly.

[@Syma107]

One thing to note the cables supplied by Naza do not fit a Spectrum receiver,I had to grind off the right tab,not that hard,they are designed for Futuaba receiver

[@cafersas]

hello , your videos are great , I m assembling a supercopter also , but when I try to connect with any computer my naza don't connect or show on COM ports , what to do ?

[@rahulneemrauth601]

What happen if we flying the drone in gps mode and we switch off the transmitter ??

[@turner592]

Hi can you help I have installed the naza m lite and I have linked to the laptop and set the calibrations I think but when I unplug the usb I still have a orange flash then 3 red flashes and so on,have I done it wrong,I can arm my motors and throttle them up,thanks

[@gerterwt11]

ali do u have a rc shop or a sponsor ? i ask this because i follow you for a while and i notice that yolu always have the most newest materials and models. to pay for this (wich is not my bizniz offcourse) must be a small fortune!!! go on with your vids. i will follow thanx. greets gerard

[@Husski200A]

Hi Ali, i am building a F550 flamewheel and i purchased the naza lite gps and turnigy 9x radio, can you tell me how to hook up the wiring from the naza to the receiver, this is a first for me. Thank you Stephen

[@stafiejulien]

please help ...how to make conections between flysky fs-ia6b and naza m lite ? can you help me please ?

[@rahulneemrauth601]

My drone with dji m light move right side during gps mode but drone not move to right side in manual mode during takeoff.can you tell me what is reason for moving right side during Takeoff

[@willoughbycross8111]

hey! where does the receiver receive power from? i have a spectrum AR6210, I hooked my Naza up, but no power. Any idea?

[@achilles22382]

why didnt you just use the S-BUS instead of using all of the aileron, rudder, throttle, etc?

[@lucianoruggieri]

I don't have the LED with the output for X3 wiring but I habve the normal LED unit. Is there another wiring to read the voltage and to have acess to the "voltage monitoring" menu? Thank you

[@thetomekyo]

Why wouldn't you connect it via the S-BUS instead??? It is only one lead you need to connect your receiver!!!

[@0924luisfer]

hello…help me please?.... in the DJI Naza Lite configuration in the calibration part of the IMU corresponding to the Acceleration (g), appears in the "y" error coordinate....as can be corrected, I thank you for what can help me

[@brimest0ne]

Great videos, very helpful. I have one question though, how do I know if my ESC is BC enabled? I'm using Hobbywing Skywalker 40A, I checked the website and can't find that info, any insights? Sorry for the newbie question. The Quad copter had all the wires connected to the old MWC board, I'm assuming BC is not enabled, and of course the manual doesn't mention anything about BC enabled or not. Thanks

[@Arufo]

your funny! even tho I am sad u make me laugh.

[@JohannSpringsits]

Hi Ali A question on The NAZA M lite which I got but for my Quadcopter i bought 40A ESC without BEC now I want to know how I have to get the Motors running

[@georgepapasavas644]

if you use naza gps then you dont use KK2 board ? or is different things? and how can i connect both the KK2 and the naza. what is connected where? Thank you in advance

[@tubevaza]

Do You have configurariam To 8 copter with dji naza

[@bobm2180]

Do you need a ~7ch radio/receiver for the Naza lite or will it work with just a 4ch?

[@roachcoachhelis6387]

+Bob M( it Will not work with only 4 ch.

[@willd.8040]

Ali, how do I get those cables that go from the esc to the M1, M2, M3, etc ports on the Naza? Do I have to solder that type of cable to the esc? Or do they sell them with that kind of cable already installed?

[@YococZ76]

Hi Ali! can I share the power cable of the VU with the power cable of ESC's for powering up? does these two need to power-up at the same time or just the ESC's. Thanks in advance for your usual support!
