My experience so far: I started with an AR drone, that got me hooked. Then 2 Phantoms, then a hex F550, then a Spektrum DX7s, as I needed more channels, then a DX8, then onto "kits". Long story short, I now have enough stuff to open a hobby shop! Motors, controllers, ESC's, a chit load of...

Both of my Iris+ machines flew right out of the box. My first one got a little messed up when I started "playing" with some of the hundreds and hundreds of adjustable parameters, so I re-loaded the stock Iris+ parameters with Mission Planner, and got it back to stock out of the box. Then I...

Sorry Bart, I'm done, stick a fork in me.

Well, it's like I said before, almost everything now-a-days comes from China. I wonder what the world will do when "their bubble" pops? Probably India or some other place with slave-like labor, and no EPA breathing down their necks. It's all about the bottom line, period. Capitalism in a...

Gives new meaning to the term "SOLD OUT" Maybe DJI has bought them out, to eliminate the competition.

So sad. I was in a war, to stop the Communist incursion. What a freakin joke.

I could ask, and ***** and complain, but I'd rather write it off, and see where they go from here. I gave them my physical address to ship the 2nd day air package, but after I emailed asking where my package was, (claimed backorder), they sent it off right away, to my billing address, which is a...

Oh well, finally got my package from 3DR. Ordered 4/24, 2nd day air from FedEx, $30 shipping. Just got it this morning. Seems as if 3DR was in a hurry to send it, after I emailed, asking where my package was, (parts backordered?) and they sent it to the wrong address. At least I finally got it...

Quick question? Has anyone measured the output power of the transmitter that comes with the Iris+ ??? I did, with my Immersion power meter. The Iris+ radio is sad, compared to my Spektrum DX7s and DX8.

I think 3DR is just a bit overloaded at the moment, with the new "Solo" etc. I had ordered 2 motors and some props for my Iris+ on 4/28, and paid $30 for FedEx 2nd day delivery. Got an email verifying my order, then nothing. Emailed them a couple of days ago, and my package was sent out the next...

Welcome to this rather addictive hobby! And just in case you were one of the many pilots that flew me all around RVN, "THANK YOU"

Bruce on RC Model Reviews, just did a video on his white board, explaining the resonance frequencies thing, pretty interesting.

3DR is trying, (Chinese parts assembled in Mexico, office in USA), and I've bought 2 Iris+ units, although I found it easier to buy mine through Amazon.com, (I'm a Prime member), than the 3DR site. But DJI has been around awhile, and apparently has a chit load of $$$ to play with. Just go to any...

Update, after balancing props, and that not helping much, I did an ESC calibration, and it's much better! Will post log/bin files, after I learn how to read them. Mission Planner can be confusing for an old fart, like myself! Still learning.:D

I'm trying my best to understand all this stuff, but I have a loooong way to go. But, the way I see it, "IF" I program some waypoints into my Iris+, and send it on it's merry way, it is relying on the GPS satellites to guide itself from one to the other, etc. etc. However, if you do a "follow...

Yup, that's it. Been around for quite awhile.

I tried some HQ 9/5's carbon mix, for giggles. No vibrations, but no lift either! I'll get around to down/uploading my bin files, youtube, etc. Been some illness in the family lately. Put a hold on my playing. BTW, my other Iris+ with gimble and long legs, is fine. Maybe dealing with a bent prop...

A few years ago, I saw a BIG Yamaha drone. Some were/are used for spraying crops in areas that are not accessible by regular means, like "terrace" farming. VERY impressive machines, and totally autonomous.

Forgive me if this is in the wrong place. Bart has me confused with these new sub/forums. So, here's my current strange problem. I'm getting a harmonic/resonance type vibration, mainly at around half/hover throttle. And I mean you can hear it from the air BAD. I'll post more of my checks, etc...

Question, has anyone replaced the motors on their Iris+, "yet"? I have one with a terrible vibration. Ordered a replacement, but was courious if anyone else has found suitabe replacements. I guess $29 from 3DR isn't too bad a price.
