    3DR Solo

    Ok, it's been a few months since I posted that our Schools tech dept. was going to buy a drone for our Video Production dept. But I said I would let you guys know how it went. And so this is the update. We did end up buying the 3DR SOLO.....love it! It's a very sophisticated flying machine! We...

    Frustrated with DJI

    Yea, I can't blame you there!! I wouldn't want to have to deal with them again either if I were you......I hope I never have to deal with them!

    State of Arkansas "cracking down" on UAV Camera operation.

    I completely agree that we do need laws in affect to protect us from idiots, I'm just paranoid that the LEOs will use this as an excuse to bagger anyone they see flying them no matter the situation as to totally deter them from wanting to fly them....hopefully I'm TOTALLY and completely wrong...

    State of Arkansas "cracking down" on UAV Camera operation.

    If you are referring to what I think you are, that is "Flown in a manner to escape detection" then I thought that at first too, but after I thought more about it and thought about in "Lawyer speak", I'm pretty sure (and I could be wrong) what they are referring to here would more along the lines...

    State of Arkansas "cracking down" on UAV Camera operation.

    No, you probably have a point, I wouldn't say "In reality" is isn't at all. I just wonder how many times people who are completely innocent are going to get unnecessarily questioned, harassed or possibly even have their equipment confiscated. Over some LEOs judgement call, when you're totally...

    State of Arkansas "cracking down" on UAV Camera operation.

    So my wife works for the Washington County Prosecutors office here in Arkansas and she is off in Little Rock at a 2 day conference and she just sent and text with this photo telling me that this goes into effect on July 22, 2015. She said this part of the conference was all about new bills that...

    DRONE ???????????

    Granted, I haven't had my Phantom long, but not one single time since I've had it has someone asked me if that's a "quadcopter" or a "Dji Phatom" or any other name.....It's always.... "Is that a Drone?" or "Wow, that's Drone is so cool!", or "Man I wish I had a drone!"...everyone I've ever...

    Gimbal battery suggestions

    OH, one more thought....well kinda more of a curiosity question I guess. But, have y'all ever noticed, I seemed to notice this on my last flight, that it seems like my image was way more stable at a lower altitude, say under 50 ft, but once I got up over say 200 is when my image seem to get...

    Gimbal battery suggestions

    Yes, I'm using the 8" props, I had purchased some 9" carbon fiber props BEFORE I ever purchased my gimbal along with some prop guards and they were junk, they caused an awful wobble on decent that freaked me out and made me think my bird was going down....and caused so much unstableness that I...

    Gimbal battery suggestions

    Well, I finally got a chance to go out and do a decent test flight, it was a bit windy but it gave me a pretty good indication of the video quality.....still fairly shaky at pretty high altitudes. Not to bad at low altitudes when I'm hovering and moving the quad around really slowly and...

    Anyone in Northwest Arkansas?

    The only other person I know of for sure that owns a Phantom is the teenage kid up in Bentonville that I bought my phantom off of, he sold me his to buy a Phantom 2. I have to think there have to be more people up here that have them.....I just have a hard time believing we are the only 3 with...

    Hypothetical question of course.

    This is a link to the FAA's website, in which it has a list of "Dos" and "Don'ts".....I'm sure somewhere on their site you can find the actual copy of their complete regulations that list this as a FAA violation. Honestly I wish it wasn't a law, I'm always looking for a way to make extra $...
