hi all, I am about to buy this tracker, but I wonder if the tracker can produce some interferences on phantom flight, while is changing cell. As it is a gsm phone, it works of course on the 900mhz, so on paper there are no problems, but, as everybody can notice, when our phone is near a...

It seems to me there is already a thread like this

I dunno if you are talking about me, but in case, I already found that, fix it, and then it bended again, and the plastic is ruined as well. I need to change it and put knob.

it would be very useful to find that post. I will check for it. Actually pay attention, the POT is very delicate and the part that the lever is turning is made of cheap plastic. So it may and it will deteriorate if you use it some times. Since now this is my situation, I want to change the POT...

I am using my mobile phone, the lumia 1020, which takes shots at 41mpx and they are beautiful, compared to gopro or anything similar. the phone weight is 159 gr and the gear is about 90 gr. i managed in the weekend to move it below the body of the phantom, but then I had to get rid of some...

I have used a mechanical shutter link to the 7th channel on My Phantom 2NV in Order to press the Button on mu mobile phone. Worked perfectly till i crash Yesterday from a few meters when Phantom Lost gps and it started wobbling and circling around. Nothing serious though, but i guess it was a...

Man, I just want to share with you what happened today. I attached the phone in the same position as yours, so it changes the center of gravity of the phantom. Today I was Flying in a small space, with a not perfect satellite lock. Suddenly the phantom lost the satellite, colors of lights...

in this thread I tell how I have done it with my lumia 1020 (41mpx). There is still plenty of room for improvement and the picture I show is the first one, night time, 800 ISO, so definitely not the good one. but it works and it uses the 7th channel to press the shutter on my phantom 2 NV...

Well, the mechanical solutions has been sorted out! it works. Tonight I finished to setup the shutter, made from lego, and went out at night to test it. First I had to redo calibration, Phantom ask for it! :) The quad was heavy and between that and the servo sucked the battery, but eventually...

I keep looking in amazon but it seems that it will be launched the 21st of march... point is there are no ginbal for that. I hope they will be available soon

no problem at all with interfercences? BT on but GSM (or else) off? nice

and how where the photos? anyway that is an interesting solution, and now it could be replicated with an app called "remote shot", basically it runs on a Windows phone remote, paired with the main one. Only I prefer to keep the camera phone in flight mode, to avoid any possibile interferences...

update! I found on a german forum the way to do it. And actually, now that I tried and it worked, I understood why that is the way to do it. First of all, I could do it as I dont have a gimbal, so far (but in a near future it wll have it) so I could use the ginbal channel for my mechanical...

Re: dyi project with lumia 1020 or any other camera phone I have some homework, so here is the update. First, I want to underline that this project is of about any other camera or camera phone that need a mechanical or electronic shutter to actually take a shot. *mechanical solution. using a...

I Will! Would be nice to add some url of shops where to buy
