The new lite version has no gimbal control options
That's not a disaster tho is it? as I can use a gimbal control board, right :)

Difference between NAZA-M Lite, NAZA-V1 and NAZA-V2?
NAZA-M V1 is discontinued in Mid 2013 and replaced with NAZA-M V2, they put some extendability on the NAZA-M V2 and price went up, to fill the entry level gap they launched the NAZA-M Lite, basically the same with NAZA-M V1, but CANNOT extend with fancy gadgets like PMU (Power Management Unit / BEC), Zenmuse Camera Gimbal, iOSD On Screen Display unit or Ground Station Data Link. However, price for the NAZA-M Lite is really good and it gives same stability and GPS Auto Hovering as the NAZA-M V2, so we think if you don't plan to play those fancy functions, stick with the NAZA-M Lite, if you plan to plug those gadgets in the future, go with the NAZA-M V2.

Also Naza-M lite is restricted (at present) to the old assistant software and it has its own firmware branch..
I'd be really interested to see IF there are any internal differences between the Naza-M v1 and the Naza-M Lite.. If there are no differences then the restrictions must just be based on serial numbers?
Naza Lite does have 2 axis gimbal support. :)
It doesn't have CANBUS support for the fancy gimbals though :)

Hair splitter!!! :)
Has anyone on here tried one yet? They seem great value. I'm liking the latest Naza firmware though, so am curious if the Lite has the semi auto takeoff, or is it like the old v.?
I think the Naza lite doesn't support Octocopters too....

I've just got two, so once they arrive I'll give them a good test!

I'm using the Lite and its awesome :-) GPS lock is perfect and its a joy to fly in manual and atti. Gimbal works fine too.
From what I've read it's is a naza 1 with custom firmware,
This is it in GPS lock.

Sold.
Question, how is the idle on startup? And does it do the auto lift off when you advance throttle above 50%?
Just curious as old Naza fware had nasty habit of lifting off after csc movement.
Edit: maybe give us a clip of the startup and lift off bit? That'd be great
Will do a clip tomorrow but its a non event. When you do the csc you get 2 to 4 of the props spin up to a low idle. Then when you throttle up it lifts off at around 50 percent. Nothing auto about it. It just takes off.
That's all I need to know! It's a subtle difference, if you've never experienced the 'old' Naza take-off you wouldn't know what I was asking about. Before I upgraded to the latest v, it was always ropey on startup ( compared to my wookong m that is). After the csc, it would rev like hell, on low stick, being light on the ground, then would lift off at about 35% stick. After that I guess it was similar in most respects. Not a 'nice device'. Also, if you needed to abort the take-off, that could be dangerously tricky, as the motors would increase in rpm after it landed for about 4-5 secs almost lifting off the ground! I took out several of my wife's prizes dafs with that crazy thing!
Thank Christ she doesn't read this forum that's all I can say.
No auto take off on the lite.. The auto cut off seems to take a life time too
Here you go - the shortest hover ever! (used an old retired battery - had to be quick!)
I purposefully coarsely ramped up the throttle so you can hear I have control.
Cut off is fairly instant (CSC induced cut off - both sticks down and to corners)
