    Loaded P2 - 2 mile range - Lightbridge, Flytrex, and more!

    Asking for a sale price in the high $3,000 USD range - which is a sweet deal for a package in perfect condition that cost ~$6,400 USD to put together! Stated in different terms, in buying this package you're getting the DJI Lightbridge system and more for free! So OBO/Price is negotiable...

    "Keep Calm and Wait for 7 Sats" T-Shirts!

    I think the image of the Phantom on this shirt kinda ruins it. Would be perfect and subtle without it. Just my 1 cent worth of thought.

    Crazy fly away today! PH2

    If you're in manual mode and turn off the controller, wouldn't that essentially be a CSC action? (Personally, I don't know for sure - never tried it. I certainly won't be attempting it any time soon (on purpose, anyway))

    "Connection Broken" issues....WHAT???

    Booted up the rig this evening to prepare for some flying tomorrow (i.e., camera settings, battery levels check, etc....). The last time I touched the P2 (non-Vision) w/Lightbridge was a few weeks ago during firmware updates for everything - LB ground/air, etc.. The firmware as of this...

    Flight to sea lions and oil rig 1.3 miles offshore

    Don't risk it. Just setup some sort of booster and then give it a shot. Don't want to see ya lose such a nice asset.

    I almost killed someone with a drone!! (article)

    The article's title should read "I want government regulation because I'm an idiot when left to my own devices, and I can't handle that responsibility".

    Low flying plane, near miss

    Steve, Really? You're first sentence tells me everything I need to know. It really doesn't matter what you "think" when it comes to laser range finders. You can cross your fingers and "really really hope it's true", but in the end I recommend you go buy one and try it out. You'll find them...

    Low flying plane, near miss

    I would suggest anyone who thinks they'll encounter lower-than-regulation aircraft (or for those that already have, even) should have a laser range finder on them/with them. That'll make it easier to determine exactly how high these things are when they fly overhead. They're getting really...

    LightBridge Interference

    By "breaking up", do you mean it goes all fuzzy, all blue, black w/no video? If it goes black with no video for a few seconds from time to time, I have experienced the same problem. I was sure it's with the application itself. Nonetheless, I did take off the panel antennas and started using...

    3.08 Discussion Thread for P2NV / P2Z

    I'll try and balance the camera on the gimbal as much as I can. Being that it's a 3 axis gimbal however, whenever some weight is added to one spot, it needs to be added at another spot (at some multiple higher or lower than the original weight added). If this were a 2 axis gimbal adding weight...

    3.08 Discussion Thread for P2NV / P2Z

    So you have a P2 non-Vision with an H3-3D, and you've done this reset process on that setup according to those instructions - and it solves the "twerking" issue? Or rather, did you simply reset it because the update caused your gimbal to be a 3d paper weight? Curious, because I may give it a...

    3.08 Discussion Thread for P2NV / P2Z

    I've updated all the firmware on a P2 NV to the latest available today (via the latest assistant software) - including battery firmware (using the 3.2 version of the assistant). My setup includes the 9450 propellers, Anti-gravity motors, H3-3D gimbal, and a Lightbridge. Took it for a spin this...

    2.4 GHz Boosters - TDD or FDD?

    I've been looking around the Interweb for 2.4 boosters/amps to increase the range of the Lightbridge system. I've come to realize there are - for my purposes - two different types of operating modes: FDD and TDD. When it comes to compatibility with the Lightbridge system, which of these two...

    UK: Drone 'deliberately' flown at airliner

    Happened in May? ~4 to 5 months ago? Seems like a "timed" story. Nonetheless, there are already laws that prohibit this type of flying near approach paths and airports. They need to find the boob that did it and throw the book at him. We don't outlaw the whole **** hobby. It would be...
