    How much of a stretch would human flight be?

    At least we would know where we were at if we had a flyaway. :lol:

    Tablet Mount For Up To 10" Tablets

    This is a beautiful setup. I assume the shade is this one? http://amzn.com/B0062WRU8A If so, how does it attach on the back of the tablet? Also, your screen looks great on the tablet. Did you change any settings to get it clear? Mine is pixelated like it's been zoomed.

    Tablet Mount For Up To 10" Tablets

    For anyone buying this mount, here are a couple of provisos. It does indeed attach to the stock ball mount on the transmitter so that is awesome. However, since the back of my Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 8.0 is not smooth I needed to attach the 3M disk to the back of the tablet to get the suction cup...

    What i dont understand about fly aways with RTH

    This is why I have never agreed with posters on here firing back at a question with "really should read the manual." He's right that the manual explains the light sequence and what they mean. But I have also experienced the exact thing you are talking about. When I launched I had the fast...

    FPV iOS issue

    Dirty Bird had posted a fix for this on the theory that your phone is defaulting back to your home wi-fi, looks like you are in your backyard? Try forgetting your home wi-fi while you are near your house, that will make the phantom the strongest signal it sees.

    Think my new + is faulty :(

    This for me as well. I felt a little silly so I started carrying a thick piece of cardboard in the trunk for a Helipad and that solved all my issues no matter the terrain. Someone posted this yesterday http://www.uavstickers.com/helipad.php so I may end up getting it just for the novelty but...

    Reckless endangerment - state of things to come?

    To your point, someone with poor judgement will one day cause an accident that will force legislation. Most laws are created to avoid repeats of these events. The other day I was faced with a dilemna. In my town there is a huge, beautiful herd of elk that use the field I fly in to graze. I...

    Might be opening a can of worms but...

    That is absolutely what I had in mind. Things like dropcam are already doing it. The difference here is that the camera itself is isolated on its own network that the outside world can't see. In my prior job I worked in IP addressable cameras so as long as the router they were connected to...

    Might be opening a can of worms but...

    Ok. I got to thinking today. When the FPV transmits video via Wi-Fi to your phone, it does this because it has been specifically designed to do it. A network is created, each device has an address, a "router" tells all the data where to go, and software uses that data for what it was...

    Golden Gate with Vision 2+

    Nice video! Is there a restriction about flying out/over/under GG Bridge? That's what I kept waiting for but it never came. :( Good job though.

    What case can be purchased for Vision 2+?

    I also absolutely use it religiously, and I also don't find it difficult to put back on as others have reported. However, while it keeps the gimbal and the camera locked together nicely, the entire shock assembly still wiggles and I just figure that having it rest on a bed of foam is better for...

    What case can be purchased for Vision 2+?

    Thanks for that. I think I will order this case and use an extra bit of foam to support the gimbal/camera. I'd like to isolate it from movement as much as possible when I'm driving. The thought of it dangling inside the case freaks me out a little. :o Which model is it, where did you get it?

    What case can be purchased for Vision 2+?

    What is on the underside of the phantom...is there foam on the bottom supporting the camera/gimbal or does it float above a layer of bottom foam?

    Finally getting my Plus

    Here is a link to a YT video where they do a side by side with the P2V and P2V+. The results are stark. I'm not sure if this YouTube user is a member here or not, but either way credit for the video goes to him/her. http://youtu.be/IhR_iBB9VNw

    DJI Direct Support Nightmare

    To be honest, I'm not sure why DJI even sells retail into the NA market. They are creating a nightmare for themselves and undercutting their partners. They have a distributor partner here that is far better equipped to handle RMA activity through dealers. Factories usually prefer to deal with...
