Hi IIVII thanks for the comment! And for the tips to even improve it further! I'll keep improving it in the following months (antennas, gimbal, maybe bigger batteries...). Can I record the ar drone screen on an iPhone? As far as I know, the Ar Drone app only records the camera image, not the...

Here's the video with this test: http://youtu.be/_x06r_FFoyY

This is from a side: And then, while flying, I've tried different antenna positions. Knowing antenna theory, one knows that an omnidirectional antennas create like a big donut around them, being the antenna the axis of the donut. The more powerful the antenna, the more distant the donut is...

I've tried it today! After several days raining, today it was clear. I'll update later this post with pictures and a video. But I just wanted to say that I'm very happy with the results and I have a nice surprise about the FC40 camera too :) Ok, about the mod: I've tried with the router in the...

Thank you! I was about to explain the example about the glasses too ;). I'm living in Norway and I use glasses and during the winter it happens everyday to me. I've read some years ago about a coating film that could be applied to any electronics, and make them water resistant that may be really...

About subzero temperatures, I've not much experience with my phantom, because I only have it since summer, but I have long experience with computers so I have a couple tips that can be important here: - first, about condensation, the problem is not when you are flying, is when you put it again...

Hello again! I'm working now on the mod using the AR Drone v1 I got, and I have a question: The PCB says the black wire is +, and the red one is -. Just the opposite at the rest of the planet. But checking the battery from the drone, I see that the red cable is the + and the black is the - I...

That's awesome!! I'll do something similar, because I also have some old iPhone 4 cases lying around! Today I received the AR Drone!! This evening I'll start the experiment. I just had 5 minutes to try it and it's working fine! It's a bit sad to have to disassemble it, because it also looks...

I'll try! I already have the TP-Link WR841ND with one 5dBi default antenna and a second 8dBi one, configured as wifi repeater, which works fantastic now. I'll wait until the AR Drone arrives and I try it. Thank you very much for your comments IIVII! And specially thank you for the mod idea! I'm...

While I'm waiting for my AR Drone to arrive, I'm just investigating the photos from iFixit about the AR Drone v1, and I'm wondering what are these two circles pointed by the two blue arrows for: They are beside the antennas, and just behind some small (capacitors?) that are connected to the...

Aha!, that's good news ;). And if I'm not satisfied I can always sell the drone to a children in the neighborhood ;). I bought a TP-Link WR841ND with one stock 5dBi and a second 8dBi omni antennas (one for short and the other for long distance, because the router supposedly choose the better...

Hello, This is my first post here. I own a FC40 too, and I was using it yet with the default setup since summer here in Lofoten Islands, Norway. Since then, I'm looking for the easiest and maybe cheapest solution to have longer and smoother distance FPV than the default one, which is really...
