So, dollar for dollar, I am seeing no contest. Not even close. I understand that some can't keep the phantom running and want a change. Good for them, and their wallets. By the time you spend $1000.00 for the airframe and how much for the camera, you could have two P3S? It seems like more...

Let me know some measurements and I will print a wide gear for you, see the post about 3D printing.

I designed a device a little like the landing gear camera guard, but added carbon fiber tubes to widen out the gear. I think any length tube could be added even 200 or 300 mm to make it very hard to tip over or run into something you did not want to chop. The ones I use are about 6" each and...

I have a 3D printer, I am fairly good with it and also 3D modeling with quality software. If you could have anything 3D printed, what would it be? Some things not to 3D print are things that are available for pennies, illegal things, designs that are too large (no cement blocks, or full size...

Visual Land Prestige Elite 10Q Tab - ME10Q8KCBLK I use one very similar to this one. No GPS, I am OK without it. Maybe for follow me? It is a dedicated unit. was about $75.00 delivered when I ordered it. Stays with the machine. I printed a mount for the control. I can't think of anything I am...

I am OK with your wife having a beard, live and let live. Nice video, although I think the shots are to short to hypnotize, just when I am starting to love the shot, it changes. So much real estate in so little time.

Joe, Thanks, I tried to search the net to find something out, but I am unable to. You must have the gift? I tried several phrases but only got similar content to this post. We should all care about this and we all do have opinions, but I am trying to keep up with the facts of the case. I...

So back to the question this post was about..., WHAT HAPPENED IN COURT? I am fascinated with the commentary going on, but it is unrelated to the question, WHAT HAPPENED IN COURT. My neighbor said, bla, bla, bla, but if anyone knows what happened in court, please post it.

So how about low tech? a mirror or prism, or some fashion of periscope on the existing camera unit may work. KISS. It could snap on. be under $50.00 and do the job, could it work? Who wants to shoot up? So now my camera can shoot up, but can I still fly without GPS, some can, some cannot.

Has there been any court decision as opposed to re-hashing the players point of view? I understand wild bill's point that he was recreating in his abode with his scantily clad daughter. his Glock and shot gun when a drone practically flew into the house and he had to kill it. I also...

around the end of July this year, David Boggs was flying a drone in Kentucky when William Meredith, 47, of Bullitt County, Ky shot it down because he thought it was spying on his daughter. I am interested to know the outcome of the charges that wild Bill was charged with. I visit many sites...

I would change the title to : "I crashed my Phantom by letting a friend fly it" So many ways to avoid this. I think a 2 minute briefing on when to take hands off the sticks could have done wonders.

Mine tells me when it wants a calibration. I have maybe 50 flights and 4 calibrations. I don't lose control, or crash, just fly, record, charge, inspect and repeat. If someone wants to calibrate between every battery change and it works for them, cool. If you think you have to do it standing...

If I bought this http://www.ebay.com/itm/DJI-Phantom-2-Vision-V3-0-Complete-Propulsion-System-UPGRADE-/111752357892?hash=item1a04f5a804 and wanted to fab an airframe what is missing? I have an extra battery, transmitter, WI-FI booster, good design skill, a 3D printer and a workshop to tinker...

Actually, it may be 8%. Math is a powerful thing. I like my toy, and have no problem talking about it, not an integrity question with me. On places that I post I could do it in little more than the time it took to post here, and I do that free, like many others. I don't actually know anyone...
