    Anyone bothered by this? Legs, props in camera..

    Can't seem to find a topic on this. I'm surprised that people aren't upset that the legs appear into the gopro shot when you turn the drone- this happens ALOT! Also propellers sticking into the picture. Not to mention the leg can into view when the gopro is pointed straight down. I bought a...

    Starting 12 floors up on a Roof?

    I am planning on launching the P2 about 12 floors up on a rooftop, and eventually have it descend downwards to the ground below. What could be the problems? GPS ? I'm not planning on flying it far or use the home button. Is there any thing I should know about starting the drone way up?

    gopro hero 3+ update?

    Wouldn't the 1080p with 120 fps be a huge Boost? I mean, you can super-slow mo your videos....would just be amazing.

    Best replacement motors for Phantom 2?

    Aside from the Tiger Motors, or is this it? And would you consider a motor upgrade one of the essentials, or over rated? http://www.rtfdrones.co.uk/wp-content/u ... MN2214.jpg

    RANGE? Immersion 600mw tx, with Spironets

    The Vas Helical had very little clutter and I only managed 350 meters before picture started breaking and fizzing out and so I brought it back. The added spironets had some trees but I didn't max it out. I saw a little breaking in the picture, got scared and brought it back. Will do a complete...

    RANGE? Immersion 600mw tx, with Spironets

    Immersion 600 with the Blackpearl. Vas 3-turn Helical- only got it out to 350 meters. Then added the Fat Shark spironets with the Vas 3-turn Helical. Got it out to 550 meters. Definitely no where near the 1000 meter mark. Even with all of these fancy antennas.

    Crashed the Phantom 2 twice, no damage.

    It was definitely the wind- as you can hear the gusts take over on the video. about 30-40kmph winds. Knowing this, I probably will not go above 25-30 again.

    Crashed the Phantom 2 twice, no damage.

    Crashed it twice in a large empty park. Both times when it was windy, the drone lost control due to a gust of wind at about 20 feet off the ground. Having lost view of the phantom and looking into my FPV, I thought that it had smashed into bits. But the drone was intact and good to fly...
