    Mission Planner (FPV Camera – iOS Waypoints App) Available Now

    Just a little feedback here. Just bought FPVBooster with the mission control module, and I must say I like it. Sadly, I feel DJI dropped the ball on offering long-promised waypoints and camera moves in the form of a mission planner, and this app fills the bill nicely. I don't think I'll need to...

    New Firmware date is set.

    After having moved from a P2V+ to an I1 and more recently a P3P, I've been missing the GS tremendously, and was very much looking forward to at least as much app functionality I had in my now 2 year old P2V+. GS was promised and will now be under-delivered after a ridiculously long wait. I have...

    Retractable landing gear?

    Ths will absolutely hose your range by orienting the LG paddle antennas in exactly the wrong direction when the gear is retracted. Ingenious but totally pointless mod.

    DBS mods - anyone got it?

    Sunhans 2T2R is perfect single-amp solution for this. http://www.amazon.com/Sunhans-Booster-Wireless-Repeater-amplifiers/dp/B00NGG0YTW There are higher wattage amps, but then you need 2 of them and the extra power they draw combined with the weight isnt worth the diminishing returns, IMO...

    DBS mods - anyone got it?

    I have both systems but have not compared the side-by-side in the same environment yet. However it's important to note that the FPVLR system has CP TX antennas with linear (stock) on the RX side, resulting in some loss. In theory the circular polarization should handle multipath interference...

    DBS mods - anyone got it?

    I just ordered one of these amps: http://www.amazon.com/Sunhans-Booster-Wireless-Repeater-amplifiers/dp/B00NGG0YTW 1W 2T2R MIMO to pair with the DBS linear. I've got the 2.5W Sunhans amps that Tony (FPVLR) sells with his P3 advanced, but having two relatively heavy amps drawing a total of 5W...

    FPV Goggles App... Low Cost Goggles Solution?

    k, check this out: http://www.zeiss.com/corporate/en_us/zeiss-vr-one.html These are MADE for iPhone 6 side-by-side viewing, they are relatively cheap @ about $100, and they are very very light. I have a pair, but DJI never made their app compatible, as they had promised many months ago...

    ITELITE Antenna Owners Thread: 4 MILES WITH P3P (page 31)

    DBS, just wanted to thank you for the awesome kit. I got mine today and IMO, it's just so much more elegant than the FPVLR P3/I1 advanced kit. Granted the amps added a lot to the weight (and cost), but I don't think I can go back now. The ITELITE is worlds lighter and the mounting system is just...

    This third party Smart Battery charger deserves a plug...

    Re: This third party Smart Battery charger deserves a plug.. Still having issues understanding the point of my post I see. there are many alternatives to BMWs as well. all of them will get you from point A to point B.Iirrelevant and argumentative. Don't like it, don't buy it. But don't try to...

    This third party Smart Battery charger deserves a plug...

    Re: This third party Smart Battery charger deserves a plug.. So your point is that this charger has no market for the crowd that uses duct tape and tin foil to mod their Phantoms. Yeah, I'm good. I'll pass on the tangled web of multiple chargers and no way to properly condition my batteries...

    This third party Smart Battery charger deserves a plug...

    I don't know if anyone has posted about this here yet, but if they have, I must have missed it. It deserves a plug or 10. I saw this post by somebody in the massive Inspire 1 thread on RC groups. It was one little post among thousands, and that thread moves FAST. There were a couple followups...

    50 Min Battery Life

    Exactly, no possible way. Of course after you buy one, they tell you the zero after the seven was a typo and they actually mean 7 minutes. Of course that's not even possible with those specs :lol:

    HUBSAN X4 PRO

    The 40 minute flight time quote was with regard to operation on a moon base with 1/3 gravity. Unless Hubsan has found a way to circumvent physics on a 450 sized quad, they're not talking about planet Earth.

    P2V+ Camera - $250

    I've got a non-working, repeat NON-WORKING P2V+ camera that hopefully somebody can get going, perhaps with a parted-out donor. This camera is almost physically perfect except for a couple of nicks in the aluminum around the barrel-housing. It has never crashed, it simply stopped working one...

    Went a little dye crazy...

    Great tip on the poly-compatible dye - makes perfect sense that it would work better with the plastics. Body looks like a factory job.
