    New landing gear (Phantom)

    Here's what I did for a taller wider stance. I first bought a kit from China the broaden and heightened the landing gear. The risers were great, but the stance was still too narrow (I was trying to shoot straight down and not get the landing gear in the frame at wide angle setting). I made...

    adjusting yaw

    Is there a way to reduce the sensitivity of the yaw control? When I try to pan the Phantom using the yaw control I have trouble making a slow smooth rotation.

    Using separate battery for FPV

    Has anyone tried using a separate battery for the FPV? I was thinking about a small 3s like a 350 to 400 Mah battery. My idea being that the battery would give the FPV Tx a more consistent power source, perhaps reducing break-up toward the end of the flight. Is this a stupid idea?

    Problem with Arris 2000 Gimbal

    After upgrading my NAZA software, my Arris gimbal started do something quirky. When I use the 7th channel pitch control to adjust the gimbal the camera keeps moving after I stop moving the lever. I've calibrated the the gimbal control in the NAZA software. Is there a setting that needs to...

    FPV problem with GoPro H3 Black

    Thanks for the great input. I'm going to try all of those suggestions. What I find curious, is that the setup worked fine for several weeks then suddenly quit. Secondly, after testing the cables, I found that the worked fine with a Hero 3 White. Is there that much of a difference between the...

    FPV problem with GoPro H3 Black

    I disconnected the power lead. A little more history: When I connected the first H3 nothing happened. After a lengthy conversation with a GoPro tech person, he decided it was the USB port that was bad. That camera was replaced with a brand new one that would not accept the frimware updates...

    FPV problem with GoPro H3 Black

    I'm having a recurring problem of my GP H3 black failing when used with my Fat Shark Predator. It appears that that the USB port fails and I don't get a signal from the camera to the FPV Tx. I've tested all of the components and everything is working. The cords from the H3 to the FPV Tx are...

    Balancing props with tape

    I just switched to three bladed props and found that the sanding balancing method I use on two blade props was not efficient. I've switched to using tape to balance the three blade props. My question is: Where is the optimal spot to add tape? I've been adding mine to the tips thinking that...

    Dual Battery set-up affecting lift

    I just ordered a dual battery kit for my Phantom. http://www.flying-hobby.com/phantom-dua ... 12000.html I haven't received it yet, but I was looking at the pictures and began wondering if the position of the batteries will affect the the lift from the propellers. Will the thrust be be...

    7th channel - WAYYYYY too sensitive

    Plug your Phantom into your Naza software and look for the X1 control. You can change the sensitivity (ie slowing the movement). Sorry I can't give you more specifics I've got my Phantom torn apart so I can't hook it to the software. But it is fairly easy to find.

    Infinity Hobby landing gear extensions

    I'll be interested in your feedback on the extensions. Also I'm interested in how the dual battery set up works for you. How much the flight time is increased.

    Adjusting Arris 2000

    FangCPO I was able to read my settings. Initially when I set up the software it would not read out of the first USB port I tried. Plugged it into a second port and it worked fine. After the port is recognized by the software, I sometimes have to click on the read button two or three times...
