Battery life is better than expected at 14k, I’ve climbed 11 fourteeners this winter, have flown from nearly all of them (it was too windy just once). Seems like maybe a 20% reduction in flight time. I wrap the batteries in hand warmers before starting hike.

I climbed it. The road to the top was closed.

It was around 0° at the top, 25-30 mph winds. Long hike.

Climbed Pikes Peak in Colorado last weekend, shot a quick clip with OP.

Another advantage to using a tablet, occasionally if it's very hot and I'm not standing in shade, my iPad will overheat and shut down. When this happens, I pull iPhone out of pocket, plug it in, and resume. Takes maybe 30 seconds.

Those look great! I would have darkened them just a bit, but still very nice!

Agree, I'd be interested in a Typhoon H if it didn't have such poor range.

That's awesome!

12.7 miles is your total flight length, not how far away you were. Still impressive though.

Cheap iPad cables are okay for charging, but not usually great at transmitting data. Woot.com usually has good deals on OEM lightning cables, usually like 3 for $20 or so.

My recent repair was pretty quick too, they had it in and out in about a week, mine was the common frame cracking under the motor.

The repair facility is in Carson, CA.

It's okay to use original box, as long as it is then put inside a plain box, see instructions from when I recently sent mine in.

Nice. What are you editing with?

Just like a car gets better gas mileage at part throttle than at full throttle, your Phantom will go farther on part throttle than at full. I believe this is why RTH and Follow Me won't go beyond 20-25 mph. Keeping voltage on the safe side is probably part of the equation as well.
