    Need to confirm which sunhan amps to use

    I have a p3a and a Maxx Evo antenna kit. I have old version sunhan amps, a 2.4 and 5.8. Question, does anyone know for sure that you need to use those two in the setup or just two of one or the other such as only two 2.4 or 5.8? Thanks so much if you know the answer.

    Winter flying hand warmer

    Hands are one thing, ipad is another. Anyone come up with a rig to keep an air 2 or similar warm and happy so it doesn't shut down in the cold?

    Flytron Strobe Lights

    Still using them. Have not used the ds30 since getting them.

    Will you be switching from Phantom series to the new Mavic 2 series?

    To be fair, it's not specifically the new mavics that are any more restrictive than the newest firmware for any dji bird in the lineups- at least not that I know about. It's a concern for those of us who have steadfastly held to earlier firnwares, as we've become quite spoiled with non-intrusive...

    Will you be switching from Phantom series to the new Mavic 2 series?

    I have the p4p and have the whole system at firmwares which allow me to fly without wind and geo nags and limitations. A new Mavic would be a step in the wrong direction for me in terms of navigational software flight experience. The mavics look like great birds but at a cost of freedom in the...

    HDMI module and .509 firmware

    I'm saying the bird and rc are fine with those firmware revs. I don't know if the hdmi module works with 1.4.1.1. I got my rc from drone nerds new for 275, if memory serves. They confirmed it had 1.41.1. With bum rc's out there, I'd be concerned about used unless absolutely sure.

    Phantom 4A/P camera vs. Mavic 2 Pro camera...

    Sorry man but your not getting the best video results there high shutter speeds and without a ND filter. The high shutter speed flickering, which I believe you're calling studdering, remains apparent. If that works for you, all good. But you're not getting away with just aperture and high...

    HDMI module and .509 firmware

    It works perfectly with no issue. Always has. I don't mess with a good thing. My daily air 2 is up to date firmware but I haven't flown with it.

    HDMI module and .509 firmware

    I have 1.4.1.1 on my rc with 509. No problem at all. That remote rev came with the new rc I had to get because the original remote developed the main board problem and wouldn't charge fully. I sweated out hoping 509 would be compatible and it is. The problem though is that you can't...

    HDMI module and .509 firmware

    You can try but I think it's a gamble. Make sure you can return everything if it doesn't. I'm on 509 as well and I wouldn't budge even if it was promised a naked woman popped out of the remote if I did, lol. That's how much I value my stress free, and truly free flying flights with 509. I'd like...

    Phantom 4A/P camera vs. Mavic 2 Pro camera...

    Define studdering. I have found that regardless of frame rates, manual shutter speeds and manual exposure settings, you absolutely need ND filters for the proper shutter speed and exposure. Not to mention, without ND filters you'll get prop reflection flash in your shot too. I'd love to fly...

    Phantom 4A/P camera vs. Mavic 2 Pro camera...

    It's really hard to say you need a better image than the p4p gives, at least for me. My video from it does not disappoint. For me the mp2 would simply be a purchase for a portable travel drone without sacrificing what I've come to expect from my p4p. That's the only reason I haven't gotten the...

    Best settings for fireworks display

    I had a couple of local carnivals over the weekend so I grabbed some shots. I don't know what the settings were but I know it wasn't auto. I believe it was 400 iso, 60 shutter speed, but not sure of the aperture. 4k 30fps. Another good tip I'll give you is to enable the extra 30% upward tilt in...

    Best settings for fireworks display

    Actually for stills you'll want a slower shutter speed, around 2 seconds. You can close down your aperture a bunch for some clarity. On my dslr I typically go to f11 and the fireworks pics are awesome. In fact search YouTube for taking pics of fireworks. Dslr settings generally work with the...
