    Advanced Pilot Quiz: Things I am unsure of - are you?

    I know this is a lot of stuff but list the number with any response please. / I've flown nearly 100 flights with my two phantom 2's, had a crash lately and ordered a third, now I'm looking to really enhance my safety education. I had a radio interference related crash, or so I believe, so I...

    GPS position & camera angle in flight

    My boss wants to know if I can obtain GPS or lat/long location and camera angle for every pic I snap with the Phantom. What is the best way to achieve this? I know I can have a GPS tracker, but is this really the best way? The system will be independent of the image capture. I have heard...

    First Crash - Unexplained too :/ help?

    I understand the proper solution to this is not to fly in urban settings or in precarious environments. But just like we see here, you can have some random infrastructure or something else that you may not even see or know about, so there must be alternative methods to protect yourself. Lots of...

    First Crash - Unexplained too :/ help?

    Yes of course. This bird is only 1 month old or so and on 3.08. It's been flying fine so I know its not firmware, even if there was a release in the last couple weeks

    First Crash - Unexplained too :/ help?

    You guys are getting caught up in the a-hole comment which was a joke and not even directed at an individual on this forum or the internet, so chill and please stay on topic. I guess I really should get a spectrum analyser if I'll be anywhere close to an urban setting? I know professional aerial...

    First Crash - Unexplained too :/ help?

    I've had about 80 successful flights between my two phantoms. I bought a P2V+ in July of 2014 and a new P2 with H4B about a month ago. I've flow the new P2 enough times to be very confident with the system, and eliminate "out-of-the-box" issues and fear of mechanical errors, etc. On Friday...

    Ok cheers. What about this part "Make sure you use the correct connector and the correct polarization on the FPV TX and the RX."

    Antenna suggestion needed

    Yes I will start switching my phone to airplane Should the antenna on the quad be facing parallel to the ground or curved and bent down to be pointing towards the ground? What does this mean? "Make sure you use the correct connector and the correct polarization on the FPV TX and the RX." I have...

    1 km range with cheap $10.00 antennas

    How spotty is your video during this flight and other of such range? I have been having issues with reception after a couple hundred meters. I am trying to figure out the fpv experience that everyone else gets. Cheers!

    FPV viewing concerns

    Yeah nice call. Thanks so much. I started playing w the picture settings, still trying to figure out which level of brightness/contrast/sat/ etc fits well with standard outdoor flying. Any tips are appreciated. Thanks!

    FPV viewing concerns

    Do my GoPro settings effect the video transmission of my fpv? I think now that I shoot in protune constantly, the video feed seems darker? That's too bad, especially because there doesn't seem like a way to increase the brightness or adjust settings on my blackpearl monitor. The video feed...

    Filter Suggestions?

    I have a buddy who bought a second set of filters because the first wasn't adequate. I don't want to be in the same situation, so I'm looking for some filter tips: 1. Suggested brands? 2. Types? I know people use standard UV filter, but there's circular polarized and lots of others ones...
