    Ever use black tape to cover your lights?

    I have done it on the front light's, to keep the glare off the camera. Have an older P1, with a gopro.

    Who has never had a problem with their Phantom?

    The only issues I've had, have been pilot error. I'm definitely the weak link in the system.

    FPV black and white ?

    I'm running a boscam ts-352, a lillput 663 monitor, through a gopro 2. Should i have a color image on the monitor when flying ? Have black and white now.

    FAA’s B4UFLY App Will Help UAS Pilots Operate Safely and Legally

    Great timing, just got off the phone with my local airport, and the FAA. I'm 4 miles off their main north/south run way. So always a little concerned about flying to high around my house. Have my Phantom set to 121m max altitude. ( 400ft ? ) They thought i should be fine, but are going to get...

    Change Phantom from 5.8 to 2.4

    Thanks for the response, the guys at us hobby, told me that the newer version came in 5.8. My manual said 2.4., so i hooked up a 5.8 FVP.. Had trouble with the quad signal, ( crash ). Look on the back of my controller, and it says 5.8... Thanks for the info, too.

    Change Phantom from 5.8 to 2.4

    I have a phantom 1 which is running at 5.8Ghz. I want to install my FPV, which is also at 5.8. Any one know how difficult it is to change the Phantom to 2.4 ? I've heard that it's not very easy.

    FPV Boscam ts-352 Trouble

    Figured out my problem I think. According to the back of my controller, it operates at 5.7-5.8 GHz. Spec sheet says 2.4..I'm confused now. But would explain the conflict with my ts352.

    FPV Boscam ts-352 Trouble

    Installed a ts 352 on my Phantom 1. It's interfering with the quad signal some how. When I get more than than 20-30 meters away, get a flashing yellow. Lose control and usually crash. Drone does try to come home. No problems at all, with video transmitter disconnected. Have tried all 8 channel...
