It's immaterial what percentage is involved in shell fractures or how they were caused - the fact of the matter is that they are failing and they are not meant to. That's not what you paid perfectly good money for. It appears that every so often DJI fails (the abject failure of the firmware...

Having read what amounts to disaster stories on other forums about this gimbal, I find I am now in the same boat. Here I am in late September 2015 in South Africa after setting up my S1000+, Lightbridge, Zenmuse Z15 5D III and, after updating the Zenmuse firmware to the so-called latest...

Well, at last there is some decent, real music, with the shots. A couple of very nice shots, too. While flights over 100m are not allowed in areas where there is habitation, this footage hardly represents a danger to anything, and the pilot of any aircraft flying at that altitude in that setting...

Thanks Steve.

I enjoyed your reply here Steve. Having taken delivery of my P2 on the very day the P3 was launched, I have been a little sad in some way at not having waited a little longer. However, as time has gone on and I read the number of gripes there are, I'm not so sad any more. I installed the FPV...

Interesting conclusion, PhantomKhan. Reading the various threads which this forum considers important, I get the impression that the P3 quads and their firmware are somewhat unstable - and that I'll look at buying one in a year or more when - and if - things improve. Initially it worried me...

This is a really interesting thread - (CapnBob's responses most so) but my tuppence worth as a former private pilot, a yachtsman, a geographer and many years of living on planet earth: The general rule I apply before launching the drone is to check the wind direction and strength. That includes...

How, LuvMyTJ, is my suggestion/reminder that facing the drone into the wind on takeoff and landing, not on topic?

I follow the basic rule of flight: take off and land facing into the wind. I needed only one down-wind attempt at takeoff to be reminded of and to observe this fundamental law of flight.

With a Blue Beam Ultra antenna on the Immersion TX on the Phantom 2, and a Blue Beam Ultra as one of the antennae on the FlySight Black Pearl diversity monitor (the other being the standard antenna which comes with the monitor on the monitor) I have been getting phenomenal results. Much to my...

Yes, that's exactly where I installed it and was very thankful for those two screws and screwholes - worked like a charm.

Ya,makes sense. Thanks.

I find it hard to believe that this idiot actually put that on YouTube. Has he NO shame?!

On my Phantom 2 I am largely content with the Blue Beam Ultra attached to the Immersion600Mw 5.8Mhz Tx, and one on the FlySight Black Pearl diversity monitor. I have the FlySight antenna which came with the monitor as the second Rx antenna. Question: would two Blue Beam Ultra antennae on the...

Yes, it is very clean ... with an all-up weight of 1348gms which exceeds the DJI specs by approx 50gms. There is a finicky and fussy part of me that would like to get back inside the shell and shorten wires to lose weight - and make it neater. OK, so it's inside and out of sight, but I know!
