Those would give you a great view of what your phone is receiving, sure, but when I am talking FPV, I mean a dedicated rig with a gorgeous full HUD and data recording.

What vid did you watch? I just had a sandy landing and all my motors are crunchy now. I need to do the teardown/cleaning now too.

The assistant software doesn’t care whose phantom is connected. I will read current firmware/config and allow you to modify it. It doesn't 'remember' your bird.

Re: Lost video - couldn't get it back until drone power-cycl I had this same problem a day ago. I shut off my controller to deliberately force a RTH for someone i was showing the bird off to. As it came back I resumed control of it, but video was black. Could not get it back until I landed...

I've been itching to get some skyline shots over the Charles River and a flyover of Fenway. Almost went down there to do it tonight. I'm always game to fly and looking for new places to get in the air. Got any footage up on youtube yet? Here's my channel documenting my learning efforts...

Did they get everything? Including your battery charger? Sorry to hear that.

Wasn't me. I was flying in Danvers, MA at the Yacht club getting footage of my buddies wedding.

It's always a great weekend. I'll just have to rush my tempo vs playing among the crowd if I want to get to checkpoints.. all this is assuming I can talk one of the safety boats into transporting my Phantom in hard case.. And of course, you can bet I will share the vids in my channel. Now the...

I really hope your second P2V+ does a lot better for you. I really love flying mine. The downtown trip started off with high confidence since the day before I deliberately flew over a park until failsafe RTH kicked in when I lost signal. It worked like a champ and I knew if I kept altitude...

I took a look at the park you mentioned and yeah, that is small. Then again, practice is practice and the stuff we shoot isn't always in big, wide, safe areas. I'll be doing a suicide awareness fundraiser all weekend, otherwise I would have liked to join ya and fly that park. As for birds - no...

Nice, Short and sweet and just down the street.

Yikes - crashed the new one within minutes? I'd have been furious. I usually fly in Nashua over the river into downtown and over Mine Falls Park. I hit fields too, and need to keep practicing. Nashua High South has a few ballfields that I normally use for that. I'm not a heavy FPV user...

46. So. What's the running average?

KDEnlive, a free non-linear video editor, has a nice defish effect that works really well. For stills, GIMP will do a good job or defish'ing too.

Re: Anyone flown a 2+ yet after installing this latest updat You are sure it was in RTH? Did it climb to 20 meters and then descend at the home point? That doesn't sound like what it was doing.
