    Looking for a (cheap) FPV Setup

    Sorry I may not have been very clear. We already own the Hero 4 Black. And we don't actually use the repaired gimbal, we use a new one. But we're going to try and sell the repaired one. It was damaged when my buddy got into a nasty encounter with a tree early in our experience. It resulted in...

    Looking for a (cheap) FPV Setup

    Good evening. I've owned my P2 for about a year now. I haven't flown it much in the last 6 months as my friend and co-owner has been having a lot of health issues and it kills me to fly it without him. But fingers crossed he should be much better soon, and we're looking to get back into the...

    Whoops

    Yeah, I figured I'll give it a shot at repairs. If it works I'll keep it as a backup, if not I'll sell it for parts. It's too bad you can't buy spare parts for them.

    Beginner Flight with Hero 4 Black

    My friend and I have been playing on our new Phantom 2 for a couple of days now, only have a little bit of practice and are still working on the basics. But we took a video of our backyard practice using our Hero 4 Black on the H3-3D. We were using the GoPro WiFi connection to monitor it (we...

    Resources for Newbs

    Good Afternoon, A friend and I just recently came into joint possession of a Phantom 2 (non vision), a GoPro hero 4 black, and an H3-3D Gimbal. Now I've found the documentation on the Phantom to be fairly sparse, and am having a hard time getting a good in-depth understanding of the device and...
