    Android Tablets

    I use the same tablet and it works great! Only drawback, and this applies to pretty much all phones/tablets with or without anti-glare and/or sunscreen, is sunlight. I finally gave up and got some goggles, for the protection of my eyes only (or course :p) and they helped a lot...

    New washed out forum colour scheme

    I could not agree more! It has unfortunately become a trend to use light gray on a white background for web sites. This is a horrific design choice undoubtedly chosen by people under age 50 who still have excellent visual acuity. Not fair for those of us who are older!

    You will see.. he is an insider despite what you want to believe about him. But seriously, why all the hate?

    new phantom 3 !!!!

    Are you serous? Jim Bowers has done more for UAV acceptance and growth in use than any of you have and likely ever will! The guy started the idea of search and rescue drones and participates in plenty of them at the request of law enforcement. As for "wife-slapping, God fearin," making such a...

    Phantom Vision plus to be discontinued

    Despite his lame humor, Jim is a pretty wired in guy. He consistently accurately predicts product launches and changes from DJI and other manufacturers to a lesser degree.

    gave up

    Too bad... it took me about 5 days of messing with it to get it just right and from then on, it worked perfectly. You guys have no patience, if you wanted instant gratification, you should have sold your 14sg and bought a V2 DJI controller (which has a trainer port) and is a no brainer to use...

    Flight controller firmware has been updated to v3.12.

    Really, I mean, what if I want to film the Washington Monument from the air! Oh wait, that's illegal already. Hmmm.... well you never know.

    400m range ??

    1. Use the supplied paddle antennas instead of the plain wire ones, 2) arrange them as low on the arms as possible and NOT on arms that have any additional electronic devices on them. (i.e. keep antenna away from compass, DBUS, tracking device, etc) 3) place them as far away from each other as...

    Stock Transmitter Vs Futaba 14SG/Taranis Plus Range

    I agree... I switched back from a Futaba 14SG to a std DJI controller with trainer port once they became available. Solely for the sake of simplicity. Some things, however, I miss about the Futaba is the ability to tweak power curves of the throttle and other neat stuff. Just not needed for...

    HUBSAN X4 PRO

    Haha! I have smashed my X4 so many times and the little sucker refuses to die. Plus it is so much fun to fly when you just want to mess around. Every now and then, when I get a little bored of my Phantom 2, I'll take out my X4 or my UDI 818 and go crazy with 'em! Fun Fun Fun! :lol: :o...
