Its really subjective to the actual craft itself and not universal to all. I assume you choose the stock settings for that craft on the open pilot site or one close to it. most of your work is done because it flies well, now the tweaking comes in. As to the best way to dial in the settings I...

Sounds like good advice. What was your intended altitude to film the waterfall? If I was staying low and close to it I would have gone ahead and flown. If its common to see a lot of air traffic in the area then maybe I would rethink it.

Well you're on your way to becoming an aerial videographer. What kind of camera are you using? It doesn't adjust to changing light conditions very well. The shots of the mountains are dark but when you tilted down everything turned green again. Looks like your multirotor and flying skills are...

Well at least there was a follow up article. A lot of times they leave you hanging.

Yes if your putting video in and getting it out but no OSD it sounds like you got defective ones. That sucks that you had rotten luck.

I have 2 and they both work fine. I have heard someone comment that they have a high failure rate and a lot of them that ship do not work but its hard to believe you got 4 of them. Are you absolutely certain you have it wired up right? I had to make a custom wire harness for mine.

I'm not familiar with futaba but it seems to me if sbus is supported than you would use that so you have all of your flight controls on a single wire then use the extra slots on the receiver for your gimbal, camera and retracts. I'm sure there's a you tube video that would explain it. Nice...

Looks like the article has been updated. This isn't the original one I linked. Either way I find it suspicious how many sightings there are but nothing ever seems to be confirmed and no one is ever caught. I don't doubt that there are a lot of stupid people out there doing stupid things but it...

http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/drone-crashes-british-airways-passenger-7776727 Oh wait, No it didn't. They haven't confirmed anything, they only think the plane hit something on approach. Actually very little information in the article and nothing to suggest it was a drone except the...

Never mind, Just googled it. Waaaay up north.

Where exactly is that in Michigan? I have a friend in Toledo that's looking for something like that?

Not sure what any of that means. Is it a particularly old transmitter? I have a couple of fat sharks and they are only 8 channels but they are designated for FPV so its not really an issue. What you need to find is a Frequency list for each of the channels then just make sure the receiver...

You need a website because well, everyone has a website today and it would be weird if you didn't. I don't get a ton of hits on mine though. I have found that cold calling is what worked. Get out there and knock on doors, make sure you have some decent example pics/footage on a tablet so you...

Now that I know this I can finally let go of my spectrum that I have been saving in case I ever needed a second radio for camera control.

A 1S 600mah battery is pretty entry level and shouldn't cost a lot so you will be able to stand a little trial and error. When you graduate up to bigger packs you need to be careful.

short answer is no. If you just want to put a small camera on it to record your flight you can just use the battery that normally supplies the camera. If you are looking to put a small FPV camera that sends its live video signal back to you on the ground it may vary. Some FPV transmitters have...

Good review. It's amazing how far this technology has gone in such a short time. The phantom platform isn't the end all to beat all but for the money it's hard to beat. I'm a little disappointed that I work so hard to build and fly a semi-custom MR and DJI swoops in and tops it for less money...

When it comes to phantoms I would stay a factory original as possible. If you want to go all crazy adding extra stuff to a MR then build a custom one. A phantom out of the box is a pretty good craft especially for a beginner. Start adding stuff an it will just complicate things unnecessarily.

Not sure why you lose your connection when your connected to both USB and main power, you need both for setup. I run 12VDC to mine but a 4S battery should be fine. Don't forget to hit the "write" button after you make adjustments. It can be frustrating, You need to watch a lot of youtube videos...

Is it the version with the integrated power distribution board in the bottom frame plate or do you need to provide your own or make up a wire harness?
