I'd stay away from COS especially with the amount of military aircraft around. I think the military wouldn't be as gentle as the FAA if you end up flying close to one of their aircraft. I'm more of a "better safe than sorry" guy when it comes to flying near airports. I'm a pilot as well as an...

You can export the video without the paid subscription?

Looks great! I honestly haven't been out to try it again since I got my tilt function working again. I wanted to go out this weekend. I'm impressed with what you got with yours. I'm surprised it was able to build the arm on that excavator. Did you just use Fraps or some other screen capture...

I haven't had any issues with launching the mission.... it still crashes quite frequently (even after both updates that were published today). Try deleting and re-installing the app. There were two updates that came out today. I've played with it at home but have yet to use them on a mission...

Re: UNOFFICIAL Vision App for Android (Distance, Speed, etc) I think most of these things are firmware limitations...? From what i can tell ilovecoffee is in it cuz it's fun, i'm not sure he can write this much stuff into the app. A lot has to do with what the copter is capable of with the...

I don't think you need ground station. They call them "ground control points", i called them ground station points by accident.

It's interesting they want the ground station points (or whatever they call them) painted on the ground. I don't have a GPS unit that's give me cm accuracy... So I guess I'll use my phone? Anyone done this yet?

Re: UNOFFICIAL Vision App for Android (Distance, Speed, etc) I did my first flight out of sight by accident the other day. I live in an urban area and wanted to go checkout a baseball field about a half mile away. I set the ground station point, chose a nice high altitude and hit go. The video...

Thanks for the response! I honestly forgot this was a beta app haha. I hope my constructive criticizes didn't come off too harsh, i'm very excited to get out and use this app with the camera facing down! ;) Very excited to see where you guys take this app/functionality in the future. Looks...

Very cool!

Wasn't sure if this post should go here or in the Vision 2 Plus forum, seeing as that is the only supported copter at this point. http://pix4d.com/pix4dmapper-app/ So I downloaded the android app and the PC software and wanted to give this thing a shot (the free version of course) I played...

Re: UNOFFICIAL Vision App for Android (Distance, Speed, etc) Yeah! Setting pause time (and maybe a turn to heading/relative position while pausing) for the F/M/S setting, are you talking about a default for all legs of the flight plan or being able to set F/M/S for individual letgs? You...

Re: UNOFFICIAL Vision App for Android (Distance, Speed, etc) Ah, right on. Thanks for the response, and the great app!

Re: UNOFFICIAL Vision App for Android (Distance, Speed, etc) Not that i'm not very thankful for all the work that you've done and LOVE this app, but i just finished a flight and thought of a few things that would be nice to have. 1. Faster decent speed while in RTH. It seems that it's just...
