    Flying up Waterfall in Banff, AB. Mountain Ram!!!!!

    I agree, i was worried about spooking them, but what about commercial scenic heli flights that operate all year? Hard to believe they can deem something 1/10th the size more hazardous to the natural environment. I was using immersionrc 600mw, with spironet antenna, and farshark predator...

    Flying up Waterfall in Banff, AB. Mountain Ram!!!!!

    Cool flight up a water fall in Banff, Alberta. Video has some black flashes for a brief moment, some issue during rendering. Followed some Mountain Ram, along the cliff, was really cool FPV experience. FPV in the mountains is AMAZING!!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g4NAyi0X49Y...

    Phantom shooting Kiteboarding in 20+ knots.

    Thanks! Yea 40 knots of wind is definitely pushing the limits of its capabilities, i feel like you would be chewing threw power in that much wind.

    Phantom shooting Kiteboarding in 20+ knots.

    my only real concern is losing battery power, not having an "iosd" makes this an issue. I keep flight times under 10 mins when in strong winds over water.

    Maytech Carbon Props

    Yea i was thinking, the flimsyness of the Phantom 2 props killed performance. Thinking that a stiffer blade might result in stabel flight, longer batterie life….. Dont care anymore, hopefully the hobby store will take them back. They do look awesome on the phantom, but that seems to be it haha...

    Maytech Carbon Props

    Just purchased a 4 probs from my Local hobby store (same size as the stock phantom 2 blades), made by Maytech. First off, 3 of the blades installed flawlessly, but the 4th one was to tight to fit over the motor shaft. (high quality products). The blade was packed like crap, out of the bag they...

    x1 channel night mare (gimbal tilt control)

    I have had the Phantom 2 for a week now. Just the last 2 days, i have noticed the 7th channel "X1" controlling the gimbal tilt function has got a mind of its own. When using the tilt adjustment it either goes full tilt down or straight forward, i have lost the ability to fine tune the camera...

    TX RC- X1 (gimbal tilt) has mind of its own?

    I have tried that several times. Like i said the range from -1000 to 1000 is unpredictable, some times it travels across the range soem times its goes 1000 too 465, or 267 or 670. totally random. 2 days ago it was doing what it normally would, which is travel smoothly from 1000, past center to...
