Well, I went ahead with the update. The bird updated just fine but somehow I forgot how to update the controller. All the utube videos said just stick the same file in the USB slot. When that didn't work, I connected with the bird and stumbled through the update via the app. I sure didn't want...

Hello friends, Long time no see. My p3p has been sitting most of the time so now I would like to sell it. I locked the dedicated Nvidia shield wifi access down when the bird was on 1.9.60 (and it's been working great ever since). Now my question is should I update it before selling it? If I...

It might not hurt to start with the plain $399 model to become familiar with it first.

My app quit a few weeks ago. Launch it and it says "dashboard failed to load". This happened on both my android phone and tablet. I tried reinstalling, same deal. I installed the app on my ipad and it works, but my ipad is wifi only.

I guess what I mean is a wing is more efficient and therefore has greater range. To me it's like having another tool in the toolbox. Bebop for most stuff, Disco (using flight plan) for far away stuff, P3p when you need excellent camera work.

I've got a Nvidia shield dedicated to my p3p. The screen brightness is frankly disappointing. I picked up a "2017" ipad for my bebop and disco and it's working well. Price was reasonable - around $274.

This is actually two flights sewn together but could have been flown with one aftermarket battery.

Last Sunday I flew a flight plan out to the end of the north Galveston jetty (5 miles), then the across the channel, then back over the south jetty, then across the channel again before landing at Ft. Travis park. About a 31 minute flight with 43% battery left. It lost connection at 2.1 miles...

I've been flying my $399. Disco for several months now without major problems. Amazing machine really. You can reach places you never could with a normal quad.

No problem with lag.

I would pick the pro. I think it has more muscle. I've got one (in the 10.1 inch size) and it works well.

Why would you want to live stream video from a drone. I mean, unless it was a breaking story, why would people want to watch low res video? Just because they can?

My particular Samsung (there's a bunch of different models) is a JU 6700. It has 3 usb ports, one of which is usb 3.0 I use this slot. Note that the card reader (and the extension cord, because you can't reach it mounted on the wall) all need to be usb 3.0 You can identify usb 3.0 by the blue...

Sounds like a good setup. I need more battery to go any farther with the bebop. Black friday is around the corner. I'll at least get a bebop 2 if not a disco.

It's a good location. Low horizon and friendly terrain for the last half. I got my P3A out to 22,176 ft. from there with just windsurfers. The bebop is fun to fly. Less risk and I don't have to stand there and aim the antenna. I have to use Flight Plan (similar to Litchi) because if you fly...
