If you are planning to fly in sunny days make sure you put black tape to the sides of Naza (AKA black tape mod), I had my 600 size quad free falling from 100m to ground due to sun light messing with naza barometer.
I have the Naza lite and I love it, it's rock solid in the air and do what it's supposed to do. I don't have any problem with wobbling or any toilet effects or problems you are experiencing Bruce
Hey Bruce, i am sure someone else mentioned it. But i dont want to go through all comments. You can secure the gps with some CA, you will get it loose with some heat if you want to take it apart. + For the flight modes, set up a mixer to get the flightmode channel between Atti and GPS oder Atti and Manual, now you have a switch for failsafe/RTH.
That's honestly a quite nice range with 2.4Ghz, nothing to be ashamed of lol I honestly miss that time, no regulation, no crappy android apps, no mavic users who think sky belongs to them! Happy midweek and keep on flying!
For the GPS antenna they normally have some think black tape in the box that is put on the end of the tube to make an interference fit that can part should it impact. Among my tri and mini quads hangs my original Phantom and a 550 hex with the M naza, right tool for the right job, as a photograph platform it's great. Also when I take out a neubie I let them try the Phantom as it's easy to fly and get a taste of quads. Thanks Bruce for the vids.
Did a double take when I saw the title - even though Bruce mentioned this in a previous video - and had to check again when I saw that wooden beast without Windestahl yelling "Do so stuff!" I've got a Naza M Lite, with a V2 mod, on a Quanum Venture. The mod really fixed a lot of issues, and made the experience much, much better. In 2015. I am very curious what state iNav is in, or where Ardupilot-based systems stand in the years-long war against DJI's FC. When I last used an APM, I was programming waypoints into my 450 via 915mhz or bluetooth, with my FPV video overlaid in the Mission Planner screen. It was very elegant for it's time, but DJI has absolutely reinvented what a drone GUI should do since then.
Did you dance with the Naza Bruce?..calibrated it? :-)...of course you did....In the assistent you should setup the "forced-failsafe switch"and use that switchposition when you setup the failsave on the TX...i've been flying a few years with the Naza and never had any problems...
Turn your GPS a little to the left if its toilet bowling to the right , just a bit off of dead center true North. There is a actual True North degree you can look up on the internet that matches your location , its a bit off of the reading that a compass shows.. Did you do the GPS calibration dance? This F/C is a thing of the past but still not a bad unit. Use a separate switch for Fail safe as well as setting up your RX to have it as well.
You can run the PPM and SBus at the same time on an X8R. I just run the Sbus the the flight controller and have channel 8 and 9 (I think) mapped to the shoulder switches on the Taranis, and run those out to the gimbal from the receiver.
Better still, bind with jumpers 1-2 and 3-4 and use sbus with ch9-16 on the pwm pins - great for gimbal control or light switches. Or if your gimbal supports sbus too, then daisy chain sbus-naza-gimbal.

Build one using old naze with INAV. Im testing one now and its up to the task or even better than expensive DJI products and gives you a lot of settings and control.
I used epoxy to bind my GPS dome to the shaft, and shaft to base. Good to see QuadLugs frame. It's the best setup for testing and all around easy repair. How does configuring the NAZA compare with APM?
Said Bruce - can be unofficially upgraded to a Naza M - I purchased the Naza light a year ago and have no problems with it. The quad must be tuned to fly good BEFORE using the DJI stuff. BUT anybody thinking to save money and illegally "upgrade it" needs to do a lot of checking first - there are are a lot of issues AFTER the upgrade and waiting 5 minutes for the board to warm up. Others report a serial number request popping up.... and attempts to "downgrade" back to Lite also has issues. I did not try to "upgrade" mine. I did buy the M v2 cost was and is reduced on FoxtechFPV. Dont bother trying to save money both version d o a good job of what they are intended to do. The dreaded flyaways and other issues are usually down to bad setting up rather than DJI in built problems. Ayybody on the Central Coast wanting either version - with or without the quad it flies..... ?
Bruce, your Quadlugs frame looks as if it has an bit of an "deadcat' layout. Maybe this compromises the flying behaviour a bit as NAZA probably expects a true X configuration?
I still own Naza Lite flashed with V2 firmware. Always locked in pisition, never had any problems with it. Just works. Pretty much plug and play. I have wanted mission planing and telemetey Pixhawk is offering, so I bought it. Unfortunatelly, everything about it was problematic. Firmware flashing, setup, calibrating... I was ready for fiddling around, trimming, adjusting, but I still... I was never satisfied and left the project.
Think, I still have a FY-41AP FC from Feiyu-Tech in my 7 year old Bumblebee quad from HK. Maybe Bruce is going to test that as well????? And then I own (somewhere on my bench) 2 FY-DOS FC's as well...... But to be serious , what about testing an Omnibus F4 Pro( V3) SD FC with iNav and/or Betaflight?
The GPS problem is a know issue. I had adjust for magnetic north. There are a couple of videos on this toilet bowl problem. The instructions that came with the NAZA had a hint to the issue.
Bruce it's been awhile since I've messed with my one quad with a Naza Lite with the firmware upgrade, but as I recall the GPS module is pretty marginal by today's standards. I found an upgraded module on eBay which improved the toilet bowl and other problems you saw. That was a couple of years ago and I don't have a good link, but an eBay search of Naza Lite compatible GPS will bring up some current listings.
hi bruce great video I have the same fc on my dji f550 and I had the same trouble as you so I did the v2 firmware upgrade and it worked flawlessly and before each flight I do the naza calibration dance and that helped loads look forward to your next video peter uk
Someone probably already said this.. Turn the gps/compass puck clockwise about 40 degrees for the heading offset will remove the toilet bowl.. Naza is OK for photo platforms on larger drones, but nothing like an APM or other newer design. The full V2 is much better than the lite, but still not a hotrod controller. (I've got two large camera platforms with V2's on them.)
Dearest Bruce In NZ for me turn the GPS about 20 degrees to the right and that fixed my toilet bowl problem as I have nearly the same size timber frame home made quad also it seems to need a balanced frame so move main battery around alittle it helps heaps with drift when powering up etc......Brett
Howdy sir :) on that receiver: doesn't it Allso output PWM when you connect it up to the Naze via Sbus? (several other frsky receiver's I've treid work well that way)
What would be the best choice to make a DIY multirotor (prob a hex) that mimics most of the features standard on the DJI drones? Mainly the way it interacts with a tablet / phone.
Those receivers should have a mode where you can put out 8ch sbus and 8ch pwm for aux functions. That way you can use sbus for flight controller and ch 9-16 pwm for aux channels. Also you can believe it or not, run a y cable from sbus output from receiver and use 1-8 sbus channels for flight controller and run the other end to a sbus compatible gimbal and set ti to use sbus ch 9-16
For Pos Hold you have to consider the accuracy of the GPS. Even if GPS is connected and receives enough sattelites the accuracy is approximately +- 1m. So the FC will get contradictonary information in Pos Hold which it tries to correct. This is what you have seen when flying in Pos Hold. So it is just a matter of tuning...... And btw as the hardware is same as NAZA-M you can flash a cracked firmware iof NASA-M to it and then it operates much better , does even waypoint navigation and autonumous flights. And when comparing it to a NAZE32 with iNAV firmware and GPS it is an inexpensive and good solution.
Have you any testing experience with a co-axial octocopter drone? I am working on a large heavy lift one and one of the local"experts" said it would be 20 percent down on performance to an equivalent conventional spider octocopter. Your thoughts would be much appreciated sir.
I have the naza m lite and the naza v2 and both are rock solid no issues with wondering at all it just sits there in the sky and even done it on 20mph winds and you see it tilted to one side to compensate. I have videos with it on if you would like to see in my videos
Great video but you should of glued that gps mast into the holding bracket and also twisted it towards the direction of magnetic north... then the quad would feel more locked in. Otherwise awesome vid!
A friend has a similar problem of the craft climbing on yaw, in both directions, you mentioned something about "the i is too high" at about 13mins ... can you elaborate on that please ... thank you Bruce
Before I started flying planes I purchased a dji f450 with naza lite. It went wrong so I then purchased another one with naza m v2. I flew better, more stable. However I had it go mad on me twice for no reason. No failsafe triggered was flying 5 m from myself and it went into return to home but instead of landing where it took off it went nuts and flew into a line of trees 100 m away. Scary as. I dismantled it and chucked it. Couldn't trust it. Was very happy with it until then but a big quad just going crazy like that isn't good. Thing is majority of the time it would fly lovely but then just go mad. I lost faith in dji after that. The return to home and fancy modes are fine until they go wrong.
-Come on Bruce, you simply glue the GPS mast in place with epoxy... haha. -I also have a classic NAZA which is basically a NAZA Lite. I could never get rid of the toilet bowling. DJI says you have to rotate the GPS mast a certain way to get rid of it. Something to do with compass offsets or something with new firmware.
Its about the north /south hemisphere if your Z X Y setting are right and the system goes into toilet bowl turning clockwise you need to reposition the gps about 10 to 20 degrees to the left and if its turning counter clockwise it needs to be turned 10-20 degrees to the right...after repositioning the gps should be recalibrated again. In NZ mine is 15 degree to the right and work perfect.
cover the naza with black tape, the barometer is effected by light , if you look back at some 5 year old posts you will see its a common fix for the barometer . i have 3 naza drones that have been collecting dust for the past 3 years , might dust them off for a bit of nostalgia ;)
I have the same flight controller, the same receiver and the remote is Taranis Q X7. The receiver is green so we have a good connection and when I plug the flight controller(naza) to the computer I can check that the input on the remote is transmitted to the flight controller. However, the motors don't want to turn! They beep indicating they have power but the arming sequence doesn't work. Any idea of what I'm missing? By the way I'm using Sbus Please help! I need this thing to fly Note1: I have bypassed the flight controller and I have checked the motors work fine. Note2: The only movement I can get from the motors is pointing both levels up to the center. When I do it they turn but that's the only order they obey. This gets me crazy because that movement doesn't even belong to the arming sequence.
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
the case lets light through so the barometer doesn't hold altitude well unless you keep the sun away from it......don't believe me shine a bright torch at it and watch the altitude change
bruce, you need to turn the gps unit to compensate to where you are in the world or it will toilet bowl.. says in the instructions,,, Plus you need to glue it in to the stand
I found a problem with your build!! GPS/Compass cable touching ESC wires is not a good practice and may explain the problems with toilet bowling! I have an Naza lite and flys much better than this, even before I have upgraded the firmware to Naza M, recommend upgrading firmware and buy updated GPS pluck Ublox M8N for naza , bangood has it..
STRYKA FPV Coll ;) I had my naza since 2015 but sold it a few weeks ago. still waiting for my GPS module to arrive. Inav seems to work fine and is perfect for me. because I only need Rth if I lose my signal. I don't wanna go further than 3km with my taranis (my personal record is 1.5 km) and do mostly fly in Angel mode.
you need to make sure your center of gravity is perfect.......also calibrate the gps unit....you can get rid of the toilet bowl effect by turning the gps unita few degrees to the left or right of center....it will sit dead nuts still then......remove all red wires from esc except for one....add capacitor to one extra channel....by n1osd and one 5.8 gig tx and youll be kicking but with that beleive me
I have never been brave enough to turn on GPS mode on a quad. I mean GPS can be meters inaccurate. Imagine it suddenly thinking it needs to move 100m back straight at you. Yikes! Would be interesting to set up a remote power-off switch or something that interrupts the GPS serial connection and then see what the flight controller does. Would be interesting to see if the flight controller developers have even tested that. Haha, might make for some fun carnage
been using naza for years now and I never had any issues with GPS mode (which I fly in 90% of the time). It's always accurate and when it returns to home it always lands within a couple of metres of where it took off from
As for the GPS Antenna, I've worked with Military GPS systems, in conjunction with Comms, EW Platforms, Special Camera Systems etc. They all pretty well use the same coax connector and the same frequency. some are magnetic-based, single screw/bolt mount, triple screw mounts. You can source these and surface mount them on your UAV. there's even these that are 2.4 GHz little gems that I plan to use. : www.sanav.com/ceramic-bulk-smt-antenna.htm
I filmed 3 team blacksheep videos on a naza lite. It's a fine controller! Probably over 1k flights between 3 controllers.
If you are planning to fly in sunny days make sure you put black tape to the sides of Naza (AKA black tape mod), I had my 600 size quad free falling from 100m to ground due to sun light messing with naza barometer.
Good to know -thanks
Black tape? Wouldn't that heat up the controller even more?
Heat is not the problem here the problem is sun light & black is known to be better for blocking light.
I thought the wooden quad was just the prototyping board until you showed it on the lawn XD. Great work!
Im glad to see someone to review this product again. Naza still the simplest FC on the market.
I have the Naza lite and I love it, it's rock solid in the air and do what it's supposed to do. I don't have any problem with wobbling or any toilet effects or problems you are experiencing Bruce
It is a pleasure to see how people are still building drones with DJI Naza
Agreed, Ive got a Phantom 4 and a mavic but still have a blast flying my homebrew F450s
why is it a pleasure
Benjamin Rios Escalante I'vr build obe just few months ago. Check my videos
Hey Bruce, i am sure someone else mentioned it. But i dont want to go through all comments.

Naza-M Lite
1.6km is a big achievement for me lol (spektrum rc gear and a 200mw 5.8ghz vtx though)
That's honestly a quite nice range with 2.4Ghz, nothing to be ashamed of lol
I honestly miss that time, no regulation, no crappy android apps, no mavic users who think sky belongs to them!
Happy midweek and keep on flying!

Turn on the Center beep for the throttle on the taranis, that works well with the naza

You can bind the X8R into Mode 4(D16) = CH1&CH2 and CH3&CH4 jumpered. That way you can use SBUS and get CH9-16 to the gimbal
I would love to see a comparison of the NAZA M vs NAZA Lite. Thank you for this great review.
Did you dance with the Naza Bruce?..calibrated it? :-)...of course you did....In the assistent you should setup the "forced-failsafe switch"and use that switchposition when you setup the failsave on the TX...i've been flying a few years with the Naza and never had any problems...
Bruce for us in NZ turn the GPS to the right about 20 degrees that should fix toilet bowling as it did mine, cheers Brett
I think Naza Lite is still decent FC even in 2017. I just wish DJI release some FW upgrade as for NazaV2.
Nope, they released Naza 3 aka N3

Update firmware to V2 version and it will be a completely different controller.
same thought here! we upgrade a friends lite to the V2. He now a happy camper!
I think it is too late to update it now the new firmware is locks SN#
naza-upgrade.com/index_naza.php

thanks bruce for the review. greatly appreciated
When a review of Ardupilot? You could not reasonably ignore the free open source best in class !
Great review, Bruce. Any chance you can review the Naza-M with the Bluetooth connection and gimbal all together? Thanks!
Excellent video Bruce.

Howdy sir :) on that receiver: doesn't it Allso output PWM when you connect it up to the Naze via Sbus? (several other frsky receiver's I've treid work well that way)
APM uses 8 motors and is very easy to set up. I built an X8 with the hobby king 525 mm quad frame with the aluminium arms
What would be the best choice to make a DIY multirotor (prob a hex) that mimics most of the features standard on the DJI drones? Mainly the way it interacts with a tablet / phone.
I have put a metal box around the NAZA box, to help with the wind problem.
Those receivers should have a mode where you can put out 8ch sbus and 8ch pwm for aux functions. That way you can use sbus for flight controller and ch 9-16 pwm for aux channels. Also you can believe it or not, run a y cable from sbus output from receiver and use 1-8 sbus channels for flight controller and run the other end to a sbus compatible gimbal and set ti to use sbus ch 9-16
Hi Bruce,would you consider doing any helicopter reviews in the future?
I can't help notice all the channel jumper cables between the X8R and the Naza Lite, when a single cable plugged into Sbus would have done.
If you listen to the video, he explained why.
Ah. I always skip the first few seconds of videos as they tend to be intros.
Bad habit of mine.
For Pos Hold you have to consider the accuracy of the GPS.
Even if GPS is connected and receives enough sattelites the accuracy is approximately +- 1m.
So the FC will get contradictonary information in Pos Hold which it tries to correct. This is what you have seen when flying in Pos Hold.
So it is just a matter of tuning......
And btw as the hardware is same as NAZA-M you can flash a cracked firmware iof NASA-M to it and then it operates much better , does even waypoint navigation and autonumous flights. And when comparing it to a NAZE32 with iNAV firmware and GPS it is an inexpensive and good solution.
They call it the 1M bubble
The Chinese pixhawk is about $100 with all accessories and you can have up to eight flight modes
Does the quad whirl the other way around in australia just like your toilet water? ;)
We live in New Zealand so that question is irrelevant. :)
I would be interested to see how it does after the upgrade.
Thanks
I'd love to see a side by side shoot out by you of the nazamv2 and the naza lite!
Have you any testing experience with a co-axial octocopter drone? I am working on a large heavy lift one and one of the local"experts" said it would be 20 percent down on performance to an equivalent conventional spider octocopter. Your thoughts would be much appreciated sir.
I have the naza m lite and the naza v2 and both are rock solid no issues with wondering at all it just sits there in the sky and even done it on 20mph winds and you see it tilted to one side to compensate. I have videos with it on if you would like to see in my videos
sean wilkinson yeah I have the naza lite as well, and it is rock solid in strong winds!
I got toilet bowling on my Naza but turned it (cant remember the exact degrees) to match the magnetic declination and it stopped it
Great video but you should of glued that gps mast into the holding bracket and also twisted it towards the direction of magnetic north... then the quad would feel more locked in. Otherwise awesome vid!
A friend has a similar problem of the craft climbing on yaw, in both directions, you mentioned something about "the i is too high" at about 13mins ... can you elaborate on that please ... thank you Bruce
Does this mean you got the field removed from being a model no fly zone or whatever? If so, congrats
Before I started flying planes I purchased a dji f450 with naza lite. It went wrong so I then purchased another one with naza m v2. I flew better, more stable.

Hmm, I was considering one of these for my GPS quad but I think I'll just stick to my Omnibus F3 flashed with iNavFlight 1.6.
-Come on Bruce, you simply glue the GPS mast in place with epoxy... haha.
-I also have a classic NAZA which is basically a NAZA Lite. I could never get rid of the toilet bowling. DJI says you have to rotate the GPS mast a certain way to get rid of it. Something to do with compass offsets or something with new firmware.

In NZ mine is 15 degree to the right and work perfect.
And failsafe switch setup works fine it can be set instead of manual mode
You also need to do the Naza dance to help calibrate the GPS.
Would've been Great too see you up load and install the softwear TOGETHER with the Build
I learned to fly acro with the Naza... it's terrible, but it does work, and you can actually do some interesting stuff with it.
cover the naza with black tape, the barometer is effected by light , if you look back at some 5 year old posts you will see its a common fix for the barometer . i have 3 naza drones that have been collecting dust for the past 3 years , might dust them off for a bit of nostalgia ;)
What motors, ESCs, and props are you using Bruce.
I have the same flight controller, the same receiver and the remote is Taranis Q X7. The receiver is green so we have a good connection and when I plug the flight controller(naza) to the computer I can check that the input on the remote is transmitted to the flight controller. However, the motors don't want to turn! They beep indicating they have power but the arming sequence doesn't work.
Any idea of what I'm missing? By the way I'm using Sbus
Please help! I need this thing to fly
Note1: I have bypassed the flight controller and I have checked the motors work fine.
Note2: The only movement I can get from the motors is pointing both levels up to the center. When I do it they turn but that's the only order they obey. This gets me crazy because that movement doesn't even belong to the arming sequence.
old skool, Inav is here.
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
Would love to see the Naza M review.
I could have used this video 4 years ago when I built mine. What motors and props are you using for the test(s)?
REALLY REALLY REALLY LIKE TOO SEE THE UPGRADE SOFTWEAR !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hi Bruce, what would the dream 5.8ghz fpv set up be for keeping weight down?
Wow, a reupload from like 5 years ago?
i've asked groups about using this controller for a 450 size camera platform. everyone recommends pixhawk instead
does it get better if you change the vertical gain?
the case lets light through so the barometer doesn't hold altitude well unless you keep the sun away from it......don't believe me shine a bright torch at it and watch the altitude change
WHAT YEAR IS IT
You don't have to register to use the naza assistant you just clock cancel
Are you able to do a tuning video for naza lite/v2 please Bruce
ATTI doesn't alttitude? Like Alltitude hold?
Please through the Naza M on it and do a comparison.
Sir!!! When I calibrate the compass, the red light is blinking in the last, just tell me a solution please sir.
How to add a video camera to Naja m Lite, please make 1 video this topic
essas controladora naza lite m encontrada no aliexpress,saberia me informar se são originais ou clone?
I use a x8r with pixhawk on sbus and still have another 8 channels on pwm channel 9 pwm starts on the channel 1 output
bruce, you need to turn the gps unit to compensate to where you are in the world or it will toilet bowl.. says in the instructions,,, Plus you need to glue it in to the stand
I see DJI Phantom 3 Standard for $320. Is it deal?
hello, I would like to know if the attitude mode can be used indoors, or does it always need the GPS signal?
I found a problem with your build!!
GPS/Compass cable touching ESC wires is not a good practice and may explain the problems with toilet bowling!
I have an Naza lite and flys much better than this, even before I have upgraded the firmware to Naza M, recommend upgrading firmware and buy updated GPS pluck Ublox M8N
for naza , bangood has it..
Register? You only give them a random mailadres and a password.
Love the qualugs products!!!
How much does the frame weigh?
Anyone knows what pdb he use for that quad please tell me. I'm building my own quad i need it..
Yes, compare Naza Lite and Naza M..
You'd be better of with a APM, which is very obsolete itself. Try a Pixhawk or a Pixhawk 2 if you want something special.
Naza? We are in 2017, aren't we?
thought the same, recently switched to inav, because the Naza stabilisation alogorithem just sucks (But the GPS Features are awsome!).
yup been doing the naza calibration dance since 2014 :D (although I'm planning an iNav build)
STRYKA FPV Coll ;) I had my naza since 2015 but sold it a few weeks ago. still waiting for my GPS module to arrive. Inav seems to work fine and is perfect for me. because I only need Rth if I lose my signal. I don't wanna go further than 3km with my taranis (my personal record is 1.5 km) and do mostly fly in Angel mode.
+Tom Rösch Angel mode?
Is that when you pray it comes back to you?
Yer think he's lost the plot.. if you want to review anything then surely the Pixhawk2 would be a better newer option..
you need to make sure your center of gravity is perfect.......also calibrate the gps unit....you can get rid of the toilet bowl effect by turning the gps unita few degrees to the left or right of center....it will sit dead nuts still then......remove all red wires from esc except for one....add capacitor to one extra channel....by n1osd and one 5.8 gig tx and youll be kicking but with that beleive me
Yes please, comparison
I have never been brave enough to turn on GPS mode on a quad. I mean GPS can be meters inaccurate. Imagine it suddenly thinking it needs to move 100m back straight at you. Yikes! Would be interesting to set up a remote power-off switch or something that interrupts the GPS serial connection and then see what the flight controller does. Would be interesting to see if the flight controller developers have even tested that. Haha, might make for some fun carnage
been using naza for years now and I never had any issues with GPS mode (which I fly in 90% of the time). It's always accurate and when it returns to home it always lands within a couple of metres of where it took off from
I appreciate the design... Just like boats..drones are just fun to miss around with...lol Going to subscribe..
Had one for years, can't fault them.. get the GPS upgrade and v2 firmware.. :)
2005 called, they want their review back :p
As for the GPS Antenna, I've worked with Military GPS systems, in conjunction with Comms, EW Platforms, Special Camera Systems etc. They all pretty well use the same coax connector and the same frequency. some are magnetic-based, single screw/bolt mount, triple screw mounts. You can source these and surface mount them on your UAV. there's even these that are 2.4 GHz little gems that I plan to use. : www.sanav.com/ceramic-bulk-smt-antenna.htm
