I have a phantom 1, it's been through a lot but has held up well. Recently I had a battery go dead way early in my flight, having disabled auto landing because I'd rather damage a battery than crash I flew it back as soon as I saw my voltage dropping on my OSD (I was flying FPV). The battery...

Yeah there are two parts to the transmitter's radio board. There's the main board which has the two adjustment knobs which has the 2.4ghz sticker on it, then there's the actual transmitter which is plugged in to the main board (it's the shiny one the antenna plugs into on the left). The FC40...

Hey Guys, Just wanted to say I too can vouch for the crash survivability of the Phantom. After a few months of ownership I've finally crashed the thing a few times. First crash can be seen at the end of this video linked below. Was flying around and didn't realize my battery was only...

The higher end gimbals aren't more stable or anything vs. a properly tuned cheapo. They just weigh a LOT less, use a LOT less power and in cases where the cheap gimbal comes with ESC's that are noisy, the inexpensive models will be whisper quiet. At least that's what I found with mine although...

It's the S5 but I'm sure the S4 performs just as well. I'm talking about the FC40 camera and app though. However, I went on to say that someone should make a 1080P camera with the low-lag long-range wifi streaming capability of the FC40. Seems like it could be a major seller for folks like us...

I have the new Samsung Galaxy S4 and get over 300m without a repeater. Before I got the phone, I had terrible range with my iPhone 4s so I used an old wireless bridge/repeater/router I had in the attic with amazing results using my cheapo Android tablet. The FC40 app for the iPhone is not very...

I have that same exact gimbal. It works very very well but it's a tad heavy. W/ a gopro, it's a full 3.5 ounces heavier than the Zenmuse which makes a big difference in flight times. I can still get a good 12-15 min flight with 9443 props and two 2200 mah Turnigy batteries though but it just...

Okay, I think I have the camera working and I figured out my issue with the charger. Your post got me thinking about the pins, turns out there was a bent pin on the first one which had screwed up the corresponding pin hole on all 4 of my batteries. After simply pressing down on the topside of...

So hello all. I have a problem with the stock charger, I got my FC40 yesterday and I think it's dead. I did NOT reverse the plugs. I bought 4 batteries and successfully charged 2 of them. I went to charge the 3rd and the charge status light remained blinking indicating "ready to charge"...
