    Back to the beach

    Thanks for the compliments. I have the go pro set to 2.7k 30fps with Protune turned on and "medium" fov. I then import the clips into GoPro studio and keep them as high quality as possible. It has options for taking out fisheye, adjusting white balance and sharpening, etc... Export at...

    Back to the beach

    My first Phantom got too close to a wave and the spray brought it down. Never recovered with go pro lost as well. First time back over water with new Phantom, Zenmuse and go pro 3+, and FS Attitudes. Had to get back up on that horse... https://vimeo.com/86211604

    Problems with NAZA assistant program

    I've had the same problem. My computer doesn't recognize the USB connected device. I installed the upgrade board for the gimble and the phantom powers up and gives me correct lights and motors (without props) seem to work, etc... But I can't get it to connect to do firmware update and...

    upgraded board - can't connect to computer

    Motors won't start - vs 1.1.1 Phantom

    CSC? Are you talking about compass calibration? If so, yes. Having flown the previous Phantom quite a bit I'm pretty sure I'm doing things properly. I get the yellow flash for warm up and then in GPS mode green with one or two red flashes as it finds the satellites. It is then showing ready...

    Motors won't start - vs 1.1.1 Phantom

    I have a new Phantom vs. 1.1.1 after ditching the old one in the Pacific earlier this year. I'm getting back up on that horse hopefully, but want to confirm a few things (I'll try to keep it over dry land this time, but it is soooo tempting being at the beach). Note that I do not have a PC and...
