    Potential loss of control in metal structures

    Yesterday I ran into this very same issue I think. I was videoing and taking pics our local fire station (working with the fire chief's blessing) and things were going great. I had them pull the trucks out and got some good pictures. Then, near the end, I wanted to do a fly though of one of...

    Calling all commercial drone pilots (US)

    Good timing Derrick, I was just searching the forum to see if this had been posted before I ended up double posting a subject! Here is also a link to the Forbes article about this new site. I joined this morning...

    Anyone in Charlotte?

    Hey Fpvpilot, I'm sorry that I didn't see your reply until just now. I'm probably around 15-20 minutes from JAARS - we should get together and fly sometime! PM me when you get a chance and hopefully we can set something up.

    Course Lock in NAZA mode

    I meant to get out last night and re-calibrate in an open field and see how she flew but was unable to find the time. Hopefully I'll be able to do so and report back on the progress. I guess since many people on this forum don't believe in needing to re-calibrate unless you've traveled a good...

    Course Lock in NAZA mode

    Thanks for the input Pull_Up, that's good to know. Too follow up with the original question then, how far away is far enough? We were flying in a high school parking lot with metal parking signs maybe 15-20 feet away. My SUV was maybe even around the same distance. One wall of the high...

    Course Lock in NAZA mode

    So last night I took off the training wheels and started flying in NAZA mode. Everything went fine and I really like some of the options that you get flying this way, but I do have a question about using Course Lock. I read everything that I could find and watched many videos so I thought that...

    android tablets and goggles

    I have the 2013 Nexus 7 and it works just fine. I also have the older one but haven't tried it on that. I was hoping that it did work so I could buy a used 2012 and not have to tie up one of my current tablets. But when I go to the Google Play store it shows that the older one isn't...

    Anyone in Charlotte?

    I just got my Vision 2+ a couple of weeks ago and have been flying it down here in Wesley Chapel, just north of Waxhaw. We are probably around 30 minutes from your location. Have you received all of your gear and been flying? I've logged around 20-30 hours in the neighborhood and local...

    JPEG picture size

    You are most likely right about that. I guess I was just surprised about how much compression was being done. The pictures look pretty good but show pixelation when zooming in on them. I knew that the results weren't going to be as good as my DSLR but I had hoped for something "beefier" for...

    JPEG picture size

    Hi all, I've been lurking and learning on this site for a while but I haven't seen this topic come up before. While the manual states that small/medium/large JPEG picture size should be in the 10/12/14 meg range all of mine are in the 3-4 meg range. When I shot in RAW mode the pictures were...
