Two tips that I find helped the same issues with my GoPro 2 1) Make sure the battery is fully charged. 2) Format the card on the computer, then in the camera each time. Gord

On my very first flight I "Buzzed" some Canadian Geese. In the video below, at the 38 second point, which the link takes you to directly you can see the impact. I was flying over them and lost altitude and they moved a little away. Without any additional noise I would think it would be hard to...

Even if there was no frequency issues the range of the GoPro is less than 50 yards. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_gvbUtaKymc

Creative, I can't wait to see the video. I suspect it will be shaky because of the zip tie mount directly to the landing struts. I am thinking that the field of view will be much narrower than the GoPro, but that is what I would like to see. If that is an expensive phone then I would worry...

Thanks, they are my Amazon Wish List for purchase shortly.

I went on Amazon to purchase the required supplies to DIY this project, and I am wondering which type of solder do I purchase? Lead Rosin Core Solder Lead-Free Solder Electrical Rosin Core Solder Lead-Free Solder Rosin Core I think the list might be longer, ant thoughts? Thanks

I knew I needed to replace the motor, I just didn't want to accept that. Needed to hear it from others. So it will be grounded for awhile :(

Hi, I recently had a run-in with my phantom and a tree. I just noticed that one of the motors is making a funny noise. I have a link to a 30 second video so you can hear the noise. I have a few questions: 1) I have already flown with this noise, and everything was fine. Should I continue to...

I don't believe GoPro has that setting for the still shots. You can correct in post editing, but this can be painful without the correct software. I use Lightroom, and you can crop and adjust one photo and then copy the edits from that photo to all the photos from the shoot with easy selection...

Nope, I had to drive home, 5 minutes, to get it. It was at the very end of the trimmers length. As this was just a test flight, I didn't go very far from home.

Let me start by saying that I am still learning how to fly this beast, and having a good time learning. On my first few flights I noticed that I was unable to determine which direction the craft was pointing when it got a long distance away from me (one football field). At times it would look...

Very nice shots. I especially like the slow pan of the camera. I can't get mine to do a slow pan, did you make any adjustments in the controls, or is it just practice?

I received my Phantom a couple of weeks ago, and I am just getting around to creating a short video of the maiden flights. I was unable to get the Phantom into compass calibration mode until after the first flight. I am not sure if this was a contributing factor in me "crashing" twice on the...

Thank you, this is very useful

I experienced a similar issue, but it was after a firmware upgrade, but on my very first flight. No mater how many times I tried the quick 10 switch trick it would not work. So I took off and flew it until the battery needed to be swapped. With a fresh battery I tried again, and it went into...
