The 

DJI Spreading Wings S900 Quadcopter

with Zenmuse Z15-GH4HD Gimbal (A2 Flight Controller)
is a 3-axis gimbal that provides stabilization and control over camera movement for the Panasonic GH4 camera. All the wires for power and video signal pass through the tubes of the Gimbal, allowing each axis to rotate without limitation. The Yaw (pan) can achieve full 360° rotation while the Pitch can tilt the camera +50° to -140°, and the Roll control can cant the camera 40°, the latter helping keep the horizon level. Additionally, the gimbal features a precision control of 0.01° making very precise camera movements possible. The DJI Zenmuse Z15-GH4 (HD) gimbal, an upgraded version of the popular Zenmuse Z15-GH3, represents a breakthrough in Zenmuse precision, offering a control range of just 0.01°. When used with a DJI professional aerial system, your Panasonic GH4/GH3 remains stable and under control even in strong winds and during intense maneuvers.

Each Zenmuse is guaranteed to deliver nothing short of the best in camera control and stabilization. The Zenmuse Z15-GH4 (HD) is built specifically for the Panasonic GH4 and the Panasonic GH3, so either camera fits perfectly in the gimbal. The Panasonic GH4 is known for its digital film quality images and small body, making it ideal for aerial cinematography and photography. The Zenmuse Z15-GH4 (HD) gimbal connects with your GH4 through a standard HDMI cable, but if you are using a Panasonic GH3 with the gimbal, please use the included GH3 HDMI cable. The 3-axis Zenmuse Gimbal system’s creative mechanical design makes control through the transmitter stick both intuitive and easy. Its internal slip rings avoid complicated wiring. Both power and signal lines have been integrated into gimbal’s tubes, resulting in a completely unhindered control axis that offers a maximum yaw of 360°, pitch of +50°/-140° and a roll of 40°.

The Zenmuse Z15-GH4 (HD) is ideal for the S800 EVO, S900 and S1000 flight platform and works with other DJI products including the A2 and WooKong-M multirotor flight controllers. Used with the DJI Lightbridge HD digital video downlink or an iOSD Mark II and a 5.8G video link, it is a Total Solution for aerial photography and cinematography. Three camera control modes are offered to maximize creativity and ease of flight. Orientation-locked, Non Orientation-locked and Back to Mid-point (Horizontal). All three modes can be switched between, quickly and easily in line with the needs of each shoot.

What gives every Zenmuse its precision is our specially designed Gimbal Servo Drive Module. Each of these is tailored to the weight and balance of the camera it has been designed to move. This significantly improves control and stability, maximizes torque, while minimizing vibration.A new stabilizing algorithm providing more stability than ever before and extremely precise induction devices combine to create effortless attitude control. With these in place, the DJI S900 Quadcopter needs no extra equipment installation or wiring, making it easier to get shooting faster.

Features:
  • Three Working Modes: The Zenmuse Z15 features the following three modes: Orientation-locked control, Non orientation-locked control and FPV mode
  • Folding Arms: The prop arms are made of carbon fiber, which is used because of its high strength-to-weight ratio. For transport and storage, the arms fold down while the propellers split down the middle further reducing its size
  • Retractable Landing Gear: The landing gear raise above the level of the gimbal during flight to give you a full 360° of shooting. In addition, the gimbal bracket is separated from the main airframe by specifically designed dampers. This significantly reduces high-frequency vibrations to help make your shots clearer and sharper
  • Removable Upper Center Board: The upper center board can be removed, allowing access to the flight controller and IMU, and giving you a convenient way to setup the power distribution system. This design also simplifies installation of the main controller, iOSD, Lightbridge, or any other accessories that interface with the flight computer
  • Secure Power Distribution System: Gold-plated metal bearings with a unique screw design secure the power cords, ensuring cables will not come loose during flight and are designed to provide easy setup
  • Sparkproof Plug: The terminal connectors on the electrical wiring are shrouded to prevent accidental short circuiting and possible damage to sensitive electronics when connecting or removing them
  • Greater Power: A 40A electronic speed controller (ESC) is built in to each arm. Combined with its 4114 motors, high performance 1552 folding propellers, and V-type mixer design, the S900 has a maximum thrust of 5.5 lb. The motor adopts a single wire stator design, offering improved heat dissipation, better performance, and a more reliable system than earlier models
  • Angled Arm Design: Each arm is designed with an 8° inversion and a 3° inclination, making the aircraft more stable when rolling and pitching, yet more flexible when rotating
  • Main Controller: The aircraft's equivalent of a CPU. The main controller takes pilot input and, factoring in data from the IMU, GPU, and other sources, instructs the ESCs at the motors. In addition, the A2 main controller incorporates a 2.4 GHz DR16 receiver which is compatible with Futaba FASST series and DJI DESST series transmitters (radio controllers). To connect peripherals, the main unit features a CAN-bus terminal with 12 output channels 
  • IMU: The IMU, or inertial measurement unit, is the primary source of information used by the flight controller so that the aircraft can maintain a stable flying condition. It uses a combination of accelerometers and gyros to collect this data 
  • GPS: The GPS allows the S900 to keep track of where it is in two-dimensional flight. This enables various types of assisted flying not otherwise possible, such as keeping the aircraft in a fixed hover while shooting video. A high gain antenna mounts on the end of a stock installed on top of the frame 
  • PMU: The power management unit (PMU) regulates power being fed to the flight controller and other components. It features voltage detection and alarming, and had an extendable CAN-bus port 
  • LED Bluetooth Indicator: The LED-BTU-I module provides a USB and Bluetooth connectivity required so you can adjust various flight control parameters using a computer or mobile device. Bluetooth wireless communications can be extend using the 2.4G Bluetooth Datalink, which relays Bluetooth data over 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi for use with the iPad Ground Station, a waypoint-based autopilot mapping system
  • Intelligent Orientation Control (IOC): On multi-rotor aircraft-- as with airplanes--pressing "forward" on the transmitter (radio controller) moves the nose forward. However, because multi-rotors are largely symmetrical, it can be easy to lose track of which way the nose is pointing, causing the controls to become counter-intuitive. To avoid this, IOC--when enabled using the assistant software--defines movement relative to the pilot so that, for example, pressing forward will always result in the aircraft moving forward from the pilot's perspective
  • Point of Interest (POI): When the GPS signal is good, users can record the current position of the aircraft as a point of interest by a preset switch on the transmitter (radio controller). The aircraft can achieve a circling flight around the point of interest with the nose pointing at the POI in an area of 16.4 to 1,640' radius, when the roll command is given. This function is ideal for shooting of a fixed or stationary object, creating an aerial tracking shot
  • Intelligent Landing Gear Function: Once you enable the Intelligent Landing Gear function in the assistant software, the landing gear will default at the lower position when the aircraft is on the ground. The system will also lower the landing gear in an emergency, the event of motor failure, or on auto landing, to protect the aircraft and gimbal. You can lower or retract the landing gear using a switch when the aircraft's altitude is over 16.4' from the ground
  • Return to Home Failsafe: Assuming the GPS has been properly calibrated and enough satellites are available, the aircraft will automatically return to its home point in the event contact with the transmitter (radio controller) is ever lost. It is also possible to assign a button using the assistant software that, when pressed, will cause the aircraft to automatically return to the home point
  • One-Motor Fail Protection: Available when the aircraft is in attitude or GPS attitude mode. In the event one motor fails the aircraft can maintain a stable flying condition, enough that it can safely be brought back home and landed
