    DOT/FAA Drone Reg Press Conference Live Stream

    So, I know our 3 lb dji quadcopters are a tremendous danger to our national airspace. Who knows, we might take down a 747.... don't think so. Ever seen the tests they put these planes through feeding dead chickens and turkeys into the intake to make sure the engines can withstand chance of...

    Walkera TALI H500. What you think?

    I broke down and ordered a Tali H500. Walkera has made improvements to their bird since the beginning of this post. The bird is a true RTF out of the box. Includes monitor (on transmitter), a port to plug in FVP goggles, a transmitter that is far superior to DJI's. There are gimbals available...

    Re: LIMTED: Phantom 2 Vision+ Camera Ribbon Cables @ DDM Thanks to these guys at DDM have access to cables cause I wasn't spending $600+ for another DJI camera and gimbal. It would be nice if there was someway to reinforce these cables or secure the camera. I'm ordering a new cable but I...

    Can't download SD card

    I think I answered my own question. I'm just going to plug into the micro usb on th egimbal. The videos show up there. This way I don't have to take the card in & out of that sloppy card slot.

    Can't download SD card

    Hopefully this hasn't been addressed before. Checked search and saw nothing. This is a new problem with the 2V+. My videos and photos are on my sd card. They show up on my phone with the card in the drone. Try to download to my computer and there's no files. I have 3 different card readers and...

    Improved GPS reception?

    I'm going to try this on my PV2+. Hopefully it will work. I have a PV2 which flies perfectly, holds GPS positions and altitude. This is a video I put up sometime ago in high winds, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ug1mq0M72E . But, my PV2+ is terrrible, hard to get Sats, never get more than 7...

    My lastest video

    Looks good. Guess you caught a day without the windy conditions we've had lately. The only thing I've had time to do is test out the gimbal I put on my vision. Seems to work well, went out on one of the really windy days we had to test it over at the sand pits in W.Greenwich. Here's the link...

    Expert Phantom Pilot!

    If he is in ATT or manual mode, why are the LEDs green? My rear LEDs are only green in GPS mode.

    Dronexpert 1st flight, windy

    Yeah, the wind was brutal but kept it low and the area was soft sand. Took my chances as we haven't had a calm day in weeks.

    Dronexpert 1st flight, windy

    I'm one of those who ordered the Dronexpert gimbal in the mist of the gimbal debate. Stayed with the Dronexpert because of delivery time and plug and play capability. Took a little over 4 weeks and 3 days shipping from New Foundland to the US. Every easy to install. Here's a short video I took...
