I think you can get the Taranis stick to self-center as well. See this thread: viewtopic.php?f=29&t=21575 However, I actually like being able to set a constant rate of climb or descent since I've equipped my Phantom with the Frsky Variometer sensor so I can get barometric altitude and climb...

This is what you're looking for. http://www.amazon.com/Case-Cellphone-Sm ... B00CR74FKA Use zip ties to mount the plastic base to the bottom of your anti-vibration mount, and also secure the the phone to the mount with a velcro strap. You can see this in the photo of my YouTube channel...

So, after a day or two reading, buying some rudimentary tools, I have the X8R installed and working in the DJI Phantom 1 after following the directions in this thread: http://www.multirotorforums.com/showthr ... -Naza-M-V2 However, instead of the switches chosen by the noble Gringers (author...

Well, of course, the full Taranis setup, thanks! I bought a Taranis several months ago and its been sitting in a box with its receiver, the X8R. I'm not sure how to tell which version of the P1 I have. The Naza controller says Copyright 2012, so the original one I guess. I've taken it...

I have the original Phantom 1. Is there any tutorial or video around that explains how to change the radio to the FrSky X8R for use with the Taranis controller?

Development on the DronePhone GPS Tracker system continues. This YouTube video shows the new DronePhone Command Center map client, showing various new features, along with an overlay of the actual flight recording. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AN1JmhZfkJo

This has been my experience as well. I have a single bright white LED array on the battery door, powered by the balance plug. It is invaluable for directional control at longer ranges (more than 100m). Soon though I will do a long range test with my DronePhone GPS tracking system over the...

You can get a Nokia 521 pre-paid Windows Phone 8 with excellent GPS and 720p video camera from WalMart for $99. This is the phone I use, and it's 1/4th the price of a GoPro. It weights 124 grams, about the same as a GoPro. http://www.walmart.com/ip/T-Mobile-Pre- ... e/24099994

What you will need is an Android or Windows Phone 8 smartphone. There is a Tracker application that you install to the phone that uses the phone's internal GPS. The Windows Phone 8 prototype is seen here: Before you fly, you type in a FlightID and press the Track button (it says "stop...

I have completed almost all work on the DronePhone Command Center map client. I have put up a one-page website that shows the new interface at http://www.dronephone.net, where you can also find a link to a video of the prototype in action. The next things to do are: 1. Build a DronePhone...

Re: OK balancing props is got to be the most ******** thing I guess you've never been married.

Re: OK balancing props is got to be the most ******** thing When you flip the prop around, you flip it to the female side which will always be unbalanced. Just turn it back around and it'll be fine.

My first camera flight also used an old Nokia N95 I had lying around. Unfortunately, the Phantom got away in high winds, but I was able to finally regain control about 1/2 mile away after chasing it in a car. Here is the video of that epic flight. It was this flight that led me to develop the...
