    Near WiFi Flying

    I'm comfortable flying in my back garden with 8+ wifi routers within 50m range, but I'd see that very different from enabling wifi on your GoPro and having it transmit its 2.4Ghz signal in very close proximity to the Phantom receiver..

    FPV - Screen or goggles??

    Hi, I recently added FPV setup to my Phantom (bought a package from FirstPersonView) and have been flying a bit with FatShark goggles. Flying FPV is a revelation, its amazing, really.
