    Best Entry Level 4k as of Nov-2015

    P3 Pro - no contest. The quality of the footage, the software and integrated cam controls... Can't beat it. 4 years ago this quality would've cost you $5000+

    Inspire battery capacity rapidly drops in flight

    Yea I read that but if you can't fly due to weather and you have 7 batteries to condition, there is no way you can just leave the I1 on! It takes like 5 hours per pack to drain them just sitting there! There has to be a better way. Like a resistor, a light bulb or something!

    Inspire battery capacity rapidly drops in flight

    Right but if you NOW want to fly to turn off the "smart discharge" after a FEW days you have to take the battery to 5%, and then charge full. So how are people discharging their packs to 5% so they can then fully charge them.

    Inspire battery capacity rapidly drops in flight

    Anyone have a method to run a battery down (safely) without flying them? I charged a bunch up for a shoot and the weather turned, It's been days of 50 mph winds, no chance tofly. I used to use light bulbs and resistors, but have no idea how they would apply to the smart batt. Anyone have a way...

    At least the AMA knows their members mentality and how to present important information is a manner that 90% of them can digest. :D

    FREEFLY Systems Alta Review

    Triblades SUCK for X8's, Try that rig again with 2 blade carbon props. All the tri-blades use props that FLEX way to much for the bottom props... I had a rig that would hardly fly with 3 blades, and was glass with 2 blade carbon props. BIG Hexacrafter listing 7 - 10 lbs.

    Battery Connectors

    I found these to be AWESOME. Secure lock, easy to soldier big wires, and can take a solid 200A with no issues. PRC6 Connectors Ideal for heavy-duty applications requiring up to 200 amps of current and 8 AWG wire - untinned; pre-tinned wire can be tight - these are some of the largest shrouded...

    Yuneec Q500 RTF AP/AV Heli

    Q500. It was probably 4 months ago.. some dude had one at a flying I went to, and I checked it out.. wasn't impressed. P3 blows it away. And I think the 4K is just the same thing with a 4K cam... P3 is the cats meow. (man do I hate to say that)

    Yuneec Q500 RTF AP/AV Heli

    I flew this rig a few months back, it was OK. It flys fine, and the footage is "OK" but the over all quality and "feel" is no where close to the Phantom 3, and especially the Inspire 1.

    Heavy-Lifter Build. *Urgent*

    Yes 16" props on 490kv's. People can get away with 18" props but it will heat up the Esc's to the point they are melting the shrink wrap. Also, the Hexacrafter frame is probably the strongest in the market. I have 2 a HC-800 hex and X8-800 X8 I have personally crashed one from 100 feet and did...

    Heavy-Lifter Build. *Urgent*

    I'd look at the Hexacrafter frame. Much more solid than a Grafton. www.hexacrafter.com probably the best frames made. Also, U7's like 16" props not 18".

    US, Anyone doing the 333 exemption process on their own?

    With regard to flitetest, they are not really selling their footage for a profit per say, they are selling video of them enjoying the hobby. Meaning they don't sell the footage to a second party.

    A new marketplace for us all

    That was kind of my point is this place going to vet people to make sure that their legal in their country or they just going to except any footage from any slob. if so that could totally entice illegal operations and kind of be a bad thing .

    Dreadful Yellow flashing, same but different.

    The flashing yellow tells you it's in return to home RTH mode. Check your switches and or mixes... The 3 position switch that changes from Manual - Atti - GPS uses a mix to work. If you adjusted an end point or canceled the mix, your FC could be stuck in RTH.

    A new marketplace for us all

    I have another question. What is the legality of doing this. Are you checking each pilot in the US for their 333 exemption? Because as a pilot of a AV sUAS , once you sell your video/pictures (here in the US) you are now considered a commercial pilot and regulated by a lengthy list (and...
