    SOLO, New RTF Quad from 3D Robotics

    Geeze, this is getting as bad as computers! And I'm just getting the hang of my Iris+! at around 6 mini's, 2 Phantoms, 3 or 4 other configurations, and 2 Iris+, I think I'll wait awhile before I add to my fleet. Still dreaming of a setup where I can sit here, in the house, at my computer, and be...

    DJI Naza M Lite Setup Confusion / Problems

    Vireaux, I have around 8 Naza Lite's installed in different multirotors. At first it can seem confusing, but the Naza Lite, is about the easiest to setup MC out there, although a Naze will fly right out of the box usually. I'd suggest LOT's of reading, and tinkering, and back and forth. It will...

    New Release: Connex HD Video Downlink 3000FT $1599.

    I don't get it? All this, and that, about antennas, and yet every company seems to use the old "dipole" antennas, that most people say are no good? 5 dipoles on the receiver ??? way beyond my understanding.

    DJI put me in business, and is taking me out...

    The "Pendulum" effect is a strange critter. It spends most of it's time either far left, or far right, as it slows to a stop, then slowly starts the other direction. In the "middle" "median", it is traveling the fastest, and zips past the center, at it's fastest speed. I guess that's what keeps...

    Tarot 2D Gimbal won't level out

    I wish I could be of more help. Mine did the same thing the other day, pointed straight down, and no movement when I turned the knob on the radio. I said screw it, and flew anyhow, wound up scratching the lens on my GoPro3. However, upon landing, and re-booting the Iris+, the gimble started...

    Tarot 2D Gimbal won't level out

    Just my opinion here, but I would not loosen or adjust anything, "yet". I have the same setup as you, and once in awhile my gimble will do something similar, like point straight down, and no movement when you turn the knob on the radio that controls the tilt. Usually a unplugging, and plugging...

    Does Pixhawk do Carefree/IOC Mode?

    Yes Bart, I was just reading on those settings, and the differences. However I too forget which is which, but it appears to be similar (identical) to the Naza DJI "course lock and home lock" BTW, just had my second IRIS+ delivered today! Now I'm not so scared to try the "auto" stuff. No need to...

    3D Robotics (3DR) Iris Official Users' Thread

    Sorry Bart, being a retired old hermit, I sometimes forget the things normal people have to do. I did just today, finally got my Iris+ "ironed" out, so to speak. First "Auto" flight coming soon! I too want another Pixhawk, but can't decide if I want to just order it $$$, or just order another...

    3DR Iris+... My experience so far

    Hey Doug, I did the same exact thing. I have got mine "close" to original, but now my radio doesn't show the info from the Iris+. I can fly, all the modes work, just no info back to the radio screen. I thought I had read enough, before I got my Iris+, but I was wrong! Just a suspicion here, but...

    Which FC has best loiter mode?

    Price wise, any of the Naza MC's hold pretty well. Naza Lite w/GPS go for around $150 or so, my next pick, but cost more would be the Pixhawk 3DR stuff. If you're just getting started, I'd recommend the Naza Lite.

    LiPo cell failure midflight destroys my F450. Some questions.

    I bought the Iris+, cause it seemed the least expensive way to get the Pixhawk with all the added goodies, and a decent quad to boot! I messed mine up, tinkering with some settings, but got it back to normal, after hours and hours of reading, and trying this, and that. Now I'm dieing to try my...

    LiPo cell failure midflight destroys my F450. Some questions.

    Gary, we've all done it, if we're honest. I've had batteries so hot, I've put them in the fridge for a few minutes, until they settle down, then do a slow, low amp balance, and charge. I have a special steel ammo can I keep all my "puffy's" in. I'm lucky I don't fly with a lot of altitude most...

    Fake Sunnysky Motors

    Hey Bart, I think I just replaced 4 of the fake ones. One feels like a magnet has come loose. BTW have you any idea where to get a pair of snap ring pliers small enough to remove the motor "C" clips? I bought a set of supposedly "micro" pliers, but they are way too big!

    CFL FPV Meet Feb 27th

    Bummer! I'm so glad I didn't ride my Motorcycle up there, like I had thought about. Seems it was a wash out? Only info I've found so far, is from "Stone Blue Airlines" They're calling it a "mud fest"
