    Video Of Slow Yaw Mod Results

    Great work on the MOD, but to me that is still too fast of a pan. Is there any way to slow it down even more. I mean the camera still can't focus well even with the mod switched on. Or am I missing something???

    GPS tracker - RF-V16

    So i got my tracker yesterday and went and got a T-mobile prepaid sim today. So far I have found through lots of trial and error, that you MUST have data on your SIM if you want to use the website tracking at http://www.gps123.org and I have not been able to get the android app to install. I...

    5000 feet distance but wouldn't go farther

    I'm sure i need to plug the bird into my PC and check to see if i have that set as a maximum, but can anyone confirm that since i don't have the PC setup with me? This is a stock P2V+ with the booster app turned on. I was about 500 feet altitude. This is my first long distance flight and I...

    How to set camera pointing to center subject in 360 fly

    OK guys i just did some tests. Here are my results: The Course Lock circle is 10m for sure. Anytime the bird is inside that 10m circle it will act as if it is in CL, even if you have it set to HL on S2. If resetting the home point in the air, it WILL climb 20m higher than that set point...

    How to set camera pointing to center subject in 360 fly

    yeah if you are trying to get closer than 30 feet then this solution for POI isn't going to work. But it is better than nothing in my eyes. It would work nicely for flying around a bigger subject. And with a little practice getting the slow pan for the camera to follow the center of the POI...

    How to set camera pointing to center subject in 360 fly

    I thought the minimum was 10m from home point and then you could use home lock? Is it actually 20m as you wrote?

    How to set camera pointing to center subject in 360 fly

    I am going to practice this in the AM, but if this is true, you should be able to set a new "IN AIR" home point over the subject (say a single tree) and then fly out and enable home lock and do a full perfect circle around and around the tree all the while using a little input to keep the camera...

    GPS tracker - RF-V16

    I should have some reviews on this next week, but from what I have read so far, I think this unit is going to be the best, cheap, light, true GPS unit out there right now. I'll let you guys know how it works out.

    Camera Guard Design Update

    Thanks for all the info. I have decided to order the bird from B&H and should have it in a couple days. I'll be ordering the guard from you soon as well. I'm thinking of getting the GPS tracking unit (RF-V16) which should strap to the guard nicely with all the holes you have in it. Thanks again!

    Camera Guard Design Update

    Thanks for the info! Yeah I have seen people complain about having to remove the longer gear to get it to fit in a case. I guess my other reason for asking was that I have read that people are getting the landing gear in their video/photos, etc. How much of this have you seen, and does the...

    Camera Guard Design Update

    Is there a design that would work for the wider and taller landing gear?? Or do you guys think the guard is enough?
