This is the very first flight I did with our Phantom, no settings were changed in the Assistant, all I did was assemble it, perform the basic calibrations, charge the battery, and hang one of my GoPro under it. As you can see the conditions weren't the best at the time but overall it flew very...

The last bit of assembly prior to take off and the most important one as well, installation of the propellers. Each arm has an arrow that shows the correct direction of rotation for the propeller, each propeller has an arrow that shows the correct direction for it to spin, make sure the...

After installing the Assistant software and opening the program you'll see this screen. You will need to register using a valid email address where you can receive a verification email that will allow you to activate the software. You will also need to have an Internet connection both to...

One of the things included in the kit is a set of decals. The ones you want to install now are orientation aids that go on the arms to help you visually with which arms are the front and back. On the underside of each arm are LEDs that will give you visibility in low light and also aid in...

First thing to do is install the landing legs onto the body of the Phantom... You need to route the cable for the compass down through the hole provided in the landing leg. The manual cautions against using a magnetic screwdriver near the compass, so check to make sure the one you're...

Time to get to work, here's a closer look at what you'll find inside the box... As I mentioned in my first post, well thought out packaging that is sturdy enough to be used for transporting the Phantom. The minimal assembly needed to ready the Phantom to fly means that you can quickly and...

Hello everyone and welcome to the first of the MultirotorForums product reviews! For our initial review the folks at DJI have provided us with a DJI Phantom and I will be taking it from opening the box to full flight as well as having a friend whose RC experience is limited to cars and trucks...

All of this pending legislation is a knee jerk response by legislators responding to "concerns" posed by their constituents. The bottom line is none of the legislation is valid or enforceable, airspace in the USA is controlled by the FAA and they take precedence over any local or state laws. A...

Here's my method, I cut a piece of G10 the size of the flight controller board drilled to the same mounting hole spacing and I mount it on standoffs above the F/C. Put a small bubble level on it and use old business cards or pieces of thin cardboard under the landing gear to get the bubble level...

If its coming from the Hong kong warehouse you won't see it for another two weeks at least. Even if they get it out the warehouse door the mail/shipping service will be just as backlogged if not worse. I made the same mistake this time last year and it wasn't until the beginning of March that I...

Someone record it, I'm about to get on an airplane and would like to see the show. Looks like I'll actually make it home today, finally, still no power at the house though...

I recently finished a FlipFPV build using the APM2.5 for flight control. Also have a pair of TBS Discovery and a QAV500 flying as well. The Flip is a good quality frame and it seems pretty solid so far. The arms are similar in design to the alloy arms on the QAV but they have the ability to flex...

Contact info would be on my laptop at home. I'm out having a burger at the moment, soon as I'm done I'll go up to the room and clean out the PM box, should be about 45 minutes from now. Sent from my MB855 using Tapatalk 2

Thanks to the Nor'easter that's about to bury Boston under 12 to 24 inches of snow I find myself stuck in Las Vegas until Sunday morningwith time to kill. Anyone have suggestions on things to do that don't involvecasinos or "working girls"? Beginning to wish I had packed a small FPV quad...

Theoretically it shouldn't. On the OP CC3D there is an option that says reverse all motors that does exactly that in the setup and I'm using it on my testbed quad since the motors were all opposite of what they needed to be ( don't ask). So the CC3D at least has no problem with spinning the...

HOLY CR*P! Look at the size of that pan motor (I assume it's the pan motor closest to that TX in the pic), you'll will need a heavy lift multi just to get that gimbal in the air with those motors... Ken

Not likely until there is direct and proven competition. Look at what happened when ZeroUAV released the YS-X6, some WKM related pricing came down a bit and the advanced feature licenses suddenly became less expensive but only to the point of being price competitive. Until there is another...

Hmmm, that looks like about $2000 at DJI prices, way more than I'd spend for GoPro gimbal regardless of how well it works. Now if it were in the $500 range it would be very interesting and sell by the truckload but we all know it's going to be way more expensive and require a WKM to make it...
