    RANGE? Immersion 600mw tx, with Spironets

    Those using Black pearl DC out to power IRCduo rx, what kind of battery life are you getting on BP? Maybe I have a bad battery, but it doesnt hold a charge, I need to charge it fully right before flying, if it sits one day charged it loses charge. Even fully charged the screen dies before im...

    RANGE? Immersion 600mw tx, with Spironets

    Nice setup, are you using black pearl? How are you powering the duo rx, from the DC out on the BP?

    RANGE? Immersion 600mw tx, with Spironets

    So we still haven't reached a consensus, is it the black pearl's fault, or the antennas? Im thinking of ditching my spironet and patch on the rx and going something like this? HELICAL http://www.readymaderc.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=11_45_49_97&products_id=1090 and for...

    RANGE? Immersion 600mw tx, with Spironets

    I love the marketing BS Immersion/fatshark claims for their patch antenna Haha, multikm with 25mw, we can't even get ONE km with 600mw, or 24x more power.. the only think I can think of is the black pearl is a really terrible receiver, anyone using immersion's DUO receiver? I figure there...

    I guess I'm a WIMP

    I find I fly better if I stop trying to find the quad visually and just concentrate on FPV. Im new to it all, here is my first video from my first flight http://youtu.be/idp7157kzU0 but as long as you are above obstacles fpv seems pretty easy, the OSD is definitely needed for FPV flying, which...

    FIRST FLIGHT VIDEO

    Got introduced to this hobby over Christmas when someone bought me an AR drone as a gift, what a piece of junk! Anyway, I got a P2 and here is a video of my first flight, I'm hooked! Only issue is I need to find a go pro mount for the P2 to eliminate the Jello and also eliminate the heavy...

    WHERE TO GET GOPRO MOUNT FOR P2?

    Hi, I'm looking for a "dumb mount" not a gimbal, I use the gopro for FPV flying and I want a jello free but non stabilized image, so I can see what the quad is doing, banking, movements, etc.

    WHERE TO GET GOPRO MOUNT FOR P2?

    Hi, I don't see a camera backet there, just a mount for the gopro waterproof case? Im looking for something like available on the P1, vibration dampener mount, with the camera bracket to hold the go pro without its case.

    WHERE TO GET GOPRO MOUNT FOR P2?

    WHERE TO GET GOPRO MOUNT FOR P2?

    I was surpised the phantom 2 didn't come with a gopro mount, and the fpv/drone shop I bought it from said they don't make one. My choices are go zenmuse, or use the gopro case with an adhesive mount (which Im doing now, but its heavy, and has serious vibrations/jello). There must be a mount...
