    FC200 has a New Ride!

    http://youtu.be/2yMfnrFyX20 This was done with WiFi off. The power switch in the middle position and hold the button for 2 seconds to start recording. Still not brave enough to turn WiFi on though.

    FC200 has a New Ride!

    Just power. I have no telemetry and it's actually more expensive and heavier than a traditional FPV setup but hey I already have it so why not. The base is cut out of 1/8" plexi and the cable is home made from a cheap set of earbuds with mic for a phone. The connector must have 4 poles or it...

    FC200 has a New Ride!

    My FC200 has a new ride! It's upside down but I can flip the video in post-production and for FPV I just flip my phone over. I expected to have trouble with the 2.4 WiFi from the FC200 trampling the 2.4 control but it passes range testing. Still too chicken to fly it though. 2.4vs2.4 can't work...

    I work in Sanford as well. I have not looked into any of the upgrades you are doing but I can solder and I have a full electronics lab to use at work. Send me a PM if you want to get together.

    3.0 update questions

    I will absolutely not "upgrade" to 3.0 because of the restrictions. I fly by the rules below using VFR digital panel for android to get distances. 2-3 miles of Orlando, Sanford, or Daytona Airports = 200ft max altitude 1-2 miles of Orlando, Sanford, or Daytona Airports = 100ft max altitude 0-1...

    I strongly urge you to update to 2.0 but not 3.0 yet. If I'm not mistaking you are in the Deland area? How about a meet and greet? You may regret 3.0 if you upgrade.

    DJI Vision Android App Update

    No.. Yes... I'm confused. I remember having to choose between 640x480@15 and 320x240@30 previously and now I have the option for 640x480@30. I don't think I'm crazy. I haven't had any trouble with it but then again I don't fly very far away. I'm sure as the signal gets weaker you would need to...

    I need some help...

    It's powering from the USB's 5v supply. Can you take a close picture of the board and note where the battery cable is?

    I need some help...

    It depends on how well the manufacturer designed the circuit. If they made a reverse polarity protection circuit then you may get off with some cheap replacements. Usually a diode and fuse are used a diode allows current in one direction but not in the other. So if you reverse the polarity then...

    FAA Looses in suit regarding video for hire

    I realize it won't have an immediate effect. However, it's fuel for their debate, they can't just make laws without an approval process, currently any laws they make won't get approved because there's no need for laws. With cases like this to cite they will be able to show a need for those laws...

    FAA Looses in suit regarding video for hire

    So you don't think the kind of behavior described in the FAA complaint is bad publicity for our community? I agree completely that this ruling is good for us. However, It's also an example of one rotten egg can make the whole carton smell bad.

    FAA Looses in suit regarding video for hire

    it looks like the FAA won in local court and assessed a $10,000 fine. This was the federal appeal in which the federal judge threw the case and thus the fine out because the FAA contradicted itself on the definition of "aircraft" and the fact that they only have suggested rules from the...

    FAA Looses in suit regarding video for hire

    The battle is won, but this was a HUGE loss in the war. All this does is make all of us look look bad, Take a look below at the list of things the FAA is complaining about and keep in mind, he was flying a fixed wing aircraft that does not stop unlike a multirotor. UVA is University of Virginia...

    Loss of altitude/control

    It looks like it starts to spin when it drops. That looks like one motor is slowing down. Motors can also be effected by cold temps, it wouldn't hurt to check your CCW motors. Note: It is still possible it's the batt or something else but it doesn't hurt to check. I use a microphone literally...
