    Drone Delivery App. A world's first?

    I'm a User Experience (UX) practitioner and a Phantom pilot. I combined those skills and came up with a drone delivery app concept. We all heard about drone delivery attempts in the media now and then and we also know it is not yet a main stream proven delivery platform. To that extent, I...

    What do you use as a landing/take off pad?

    Why don't you get a FedEX box or a USPS priority mail cardboard box? They come flat. I use what CanadaGoose posted. $18 from amazon. Comes with case, reflector tapes, 3 plastic pegs. And you can send me the reflector tape if you don't want it. I used it on my electric Unicycle. See the bright...

    Flexible, bendable drone!!

    Here is a video link to this experimental design. Promising tech. Hope they do something like that to our smart phone screens. I'm pissed with cracked screen repair bills.

    DRONE STUCK IN 100' TREE

    Not trying to joke about the situation, but there is a radical and unthinkable approach, works only in countries like India. In a situation like this, and all other solutions failed, we would find a guy with a pet monkey (street performer) and ask the monkey to get the drone for couple of...

    Poor Lily drone is shutting down!

    $34 millions in funding but still has to shut down. Irony. Unable to fund production of its camera drone, Lily will shut down and refund customers

    Litchi latest update.... How's it for you?

    To install Litchi, do we have to have latest and greatest firmware(Litchi recommends)? Is there a downside not having the latest firmware but still install the latest Litchi?

    P3A Erratic behavior with 40% battery

    40% is not really low, right? I will check the battery voltage when I go home. So If one cell is bad, is the whole batt is a toast? Thanks!

    P3A Erratic behavior with 40% battery

    Yesterday I try to fly P3 A with about 40% battery, good weather no winds. The Phantom took off OK from a parking roof top and within couple of minutes at about 50 ft away and 15 ft up, it became wobbly and drifting few feet randomly and quickly. The warning on remote was something like...

    No signal then drown at sea

    I think it would be better to insure your future drone for these kind of things. I insured mine with State Farm for $60 a year. Lost/Damaged/Theft, all covered if I remember right. I learnt that here in this forum.

    Fatshark Goggles good enough?

    Is there a way to hook up Fatshark V1 (old) to P3 ?

    Skin / Wrap that Covers the Underside of the P3

    If cosmetic value is not that important, can you use Red color reflective tape? It won't look nice but may help you spot the drone a little easily.

    P3. With Samsung Gear VR

    I have the same kind of question. I have a used Fatshark Dominator V1 and is there any SIMPLE way to hook it up? Not a fan of messing with innards but will try if it's relatively simple.
