    In house drone?

    I am sure this has been covered, but can someone recommend a relatively cheap drone for flying around the house? My wants are below: 1. Cheap - 50 bucks ish or less 2. Phone operated - both Apple and Samsung 3. FPV - be able to see what it is seeing, but not be able to record is fine. 4. The...

    Check out this video showing the new DJI MAVIC!!!!!!

    Yeah, I am an old guy but it kind of reminds me of the computer revolution back in the day.....wait - the new model is faster and smaller, and, and.........then you kind of lull yourself into always waiting for the new improved which rolls out about every 3 months and whatever you have that is a...

    Check out this video showing the new DJI MAVIC!!!!!!

    On the goggle front, didn't they "partner" with Epson on their new glasses? If DJI is now producing their own it seems they would be a tad careful here, or at least put in a different class and price point. It will be interesting to see how this all shakes out and if Fatshark needs to...

    Epson BT-300 FPV glasses announced

    I would think that the "in person experience" would be a little different than what the video captures. Somewhat analogous to other displays of a similar nature (like in a car with heads up display of speed, etc), you focus on one aspect or the other with your eyes, not both simultaneously...

    FPV Goggles P4

    Sort of related to this thread - I didn't want to bore everyone with another thread..... So I don't get why you would want to use the video recording of the goggles (like on Fatsharks) when you already have it intrinsic to the Phantom 4? Seems rather redundant bunch of hardware, another card...

    FPV Goggles P4

    So does the craft move in the direction you are looking, or just gimbal up and down?, or does it just change orientation and then you manually go up and down, and forward? Trying to understand how these things work.... Any help or other you tube spots, etc... Cheers,

    FPV Goggles P4

    OK, maybe I am confused here....but if you go the Litchi app route, per the video above (marcel79 post), you can skip the HDMI install gizmo right? Seems like a no brainer.....what am I missing?

    Photo not taken messages???

    I threw away the packaging, but on the card all it says is 300x, and in another spot XC1. Not sure what all that means....obviously I wasn't a discerning buyer.

    Photo not taken messages???

    Ok, that might be it. I changed my photo timing from 1 second to 1.5 and got very few failures. The message is "failed to take photo" verbatim by the way. I didn't think of the speed of the card when I bought it, but thanks for the advice - I will get a faster one.

    Photo not taken messages???

    Actually to follow up on the card a bit - while downloading the photos I did get yesterday - when I switched to my laptop (Surface 3) to get them on another drive it gave me a card failure message. Then said I had to format the card, which I did since I had already dumped the photos to another...

    Photo not taken messages???

    I am using a LEXAR 64 GB card. I am flying again today, so will make sure to get it exact this time. Has there been issues with the memory card?

    Photo not taken messages???

    I am flying in still photo mode with a photo every 2 seconds and I randomly get an error message, saying photo not taken, or photo failed, something like that ( I can't remember the exact verbage). Any thoughts on why this happens? Today it was so frequent I just had to abort the mission. It...

    Drone Deploy vs Datamapper ??

    So it seems at least for cloud based mapping software, these 2 are the leaders. If not, please tell me....who else to consider in this arena. I am aware of Agisoft and Pix4D, but these are stand alone software and $thousands. Any experiences or recommendations on which way to go? Pricing seems...
