    GF Takes My Phantom 4 in the Head (vid)

    I was showing my GF's 10 year old waypoints and he hangs it right up in the middle of the bamboo thicket and it's getting dark. Go to get a saw and GF freaks and insists on getting up the ladder to get it in her nightdress...she got it alright and a nice big lump on the head to boot! 10 year old...

    Am I Lucky Or What?

    Terry In my search I found 2 eyewitnesses that gave me a pretty good idea of the trajectory, so finally I was able to go on google earth and figured it had to have come down on one of 3 properties and it was found bang on my trajectory. We have had the biggest rainfall on record the week it was...

    Am I Lucky Or What?

    A tracker is on it's way and not flying until fitted and tested. So sorry you never found yours Timmydz!

    Am I Lucky Or What?

    1 week and 1 hour and 25+ hours of searching. I FOUND IT! Mine did a flyaway (a REAL one) after a real hell of a sudden storm hit from nowhere. I went to home lock and just as it got to the 10m limit off it went East with gale force winds with no chance of bringing it back so I tried just to...

    User Error or Flyaway Victim?

    The wind was gale force and constant! Well, now given up, the guy that last spotted it gave me an even more accurate trajectory (and offered to assist, thanks Tom!) and we went overkill and started 8km out, it was heading almost dead east so gave plenty of leeway for trajectory error and went...

    User Error or Flyaway Victim?

    Well, 8 hour search and nothing, then I got another report of a sighting so that gave me two points to create a trajectory...I have been searching the wrong area. So my question is, there was 58% battery at the first sight point, it is a 3rd party that claims 25-30 mins (yeah right) so with an...

    User Error or Flyaway Victim?

    I have the phantom 2 with the H4 3D gimbal and gopro 4 black, Black Pearl and Immersion for TX and FPV as well as the mini iosd. I would call myself an intermediate level flyer and practise down a local oval in a small town, no objects, lucky if a jogger or someone walking a dog, mostly to...

    IOSD info No Video?

    OK the problem was a really simple one, the gimbal wiring had somehow pulled out ever so slightly that it wasn't immediately obvious!

    IOSD info No Video?

    Hi all, recently got a phantom 2, installed iosd and transmitter (TS832) and all has been working. The other day I read about the gopro charging causing possible interference so let it fully charge on the phantom for about 15 mins. The transmitter got pretty hot and now I can get the IOSD info...
