Why do you talk to idiots so often, and do they know how you feel? :)

Great advice and done without "use the sim first!" That so many like to give after an event. OP, I've been in panic mode. It isn't fun :)

Yes, quite a few :) These only soaked about 8 hours and we let two females with eggs go. I did hand Catch it on the landing. I had my wife kills motors when I had it two handed. I'll need to look into doing it solo.

So we're in FL and have been using a crab trap. Today I decided to get some footage of my brother on a paddle board. I used a 12-pack cooler as a launch pad about 10' from my wife sitting in a chair, chewing gum. As I was getting things ready, a boat started approaching our crab pot. Poachers...

Yep! 'Murica!

So I can finally admit that I've had my first crash. I hit a tree branch across the cul-de-sac while trying to film fireworks in the foreground and us in the background. It hit, stopped suddenly, seemed to get hung up in a branch and then fell, catching a branch on the way down. I ran over and...

Franklin, IN. I was far away as they were shooting near residential areas and I wanted to stay back.

OK, well, since gimbal wasn't doing anything I figured I'd try the upgrade again. This time it only took about two minutes and I got the beep----beep beep and a green light. Cool. I turned it off and back on and the gimbal worked. I upgraded the controller nice and easy and the horizon level...

OK... so I deleted the firmware file and put the card back in, turned the quad on and the gimbal does nothing. That can't be good... I went to calibrate gimbal and it does nothing. Cannot move it with the control wheel.

Trying to upgrade since I haven't done it yet. I downloaded the P3P file, extracted the .bin file to the root directory and put it in my quad. Yesterday I had an issue where it said "gimbal motor overload" and the gimbal was twitching. I turned off, turned on again and it was fine. When I put...

I went up last night. I stayed probably half a mile away but took some great video (at least on the feed!) It was hard to tell how close I was by looking at the drone versus the fireworks. It was a municipal display so I stayed over a corn field and watched. Many people on the ground were...

Well that sucks, sorry to hear about your experience in Jamaica. We will be going through Montego Bay on the way to Negrll in October. If others say it is OK, I still plan to bring mine. We pay for the Montego Bay club, maybe having the escort will help things. I agree with your dad, sounds like...

We sell H2 targets and Tannerite. The BATFE considers it "commercial use" and requires you to have an explosives manufacturing license if you mix it and shoot it as a demonstration of the product. Absurd.

Bring a monkey's first with you, a banjo, and get a skinny buddy to go with you to help. When you get to the tree, pull out the banjo and put the fist in your other hand. Tell him you've always wanted to try a monkey's fist with him. After he climbs the tree, explain what you meant and have him...

I wonder if they can be nailed for inciting a riot.
