I put them in the plane hold anyways. I carry only my cameras and batteries in carry on.

Hey Guys, I am a archaeologist who flies around the world taking photos of old stuff. I have always used my P2 for flying as I attach different types of cameras. I am thinking I may upgrade to a P4 pro, just to help with photogrammetry and making models of large areas etc. I still need to bring...

Thank you so much for all your help. I will now go buy two of them haha.

Hi, so that powerboard would also act like an inline filter mentioned above? Yes I know the adaptor, but thats the extent of my electrical knowledge hahaha. Thanks so much!

First off- thanks everyone for the help. It got a little technical there and to be honest- I struggle with the technicalities of power. This generator looks great for me simply as my archaeological work has a tiny budget. Also, the site I am working on is a 2km walk down rough mountain tracks...

Hey All, I know there are a lot of generator threads but after some help with a specific question. I am heading to Greece to do archaeological fieldwork, and I require a generator for 6 weeks. I have found this one online for cheap in a Greek hardware store. Can anyone tell me if this would work...

Doing some research, could I use a UBEC like this (http://www.helipal.com/3a-switch-mode-ubec.html)? Then just either solder into the cords from my boscham or just buy a little 11v battery and use that?

Hi All, My boss is looking to buy a Flir Vue Pro for our archaeological work to attach to our Phantom 2. I am not the most electrically efficient person in the world and was after some help with hooking it up. Primarily, the Vue Pro requires a 10 pin USB connection that sends power and video...

I am using a 3d printed static mount from MortarArt. I don't need anything fancy for it because I only want photographs directly downwards. We don't have the money to buy two of them as I don't think the lens' are interchangeable. Thats why I need to decide between the 9 or 19, or I just buy...

Here is the list of lens types vs fov 9 mm; 69° × 56° 13 mm; 45° × 37° 19 mm; 32° × 26°

Hi All, After some advice from some who stalks a lot and posts very infrequently. I have mentioned a few times before that I am an archaeologist. I use my P2 with one of MortarArts 3D printed mounts to shoot archaeological remains. You can check out my work at Gallery One thing people do in...

Also I am curious- is it worth upgrading to the new compass if I upgrade all the parts??? Hmmmm or then is it just worth buying a P2v2 cause it'll only cost a fraction more...

Hey Guys, I have a P2v1, and am thinking of upgrading it to the version 2 but changing the esc and motors. The extra thrust would be nice as I can shove a bigger camera on my drone. Problem is- I am rubbish at soldering. I can do wires etc, albeit badly, but I don't trust myself doing this more...

Yeah the P3 looks great, but I am just nervous the photos are not as clear as my canon, and clarity is the primary goal. The P2 upgrade looks nice, I'd try do it myself by upgrading the props and motors on my P2v1 but I am not the best solderer in the world.... I am just curious about max take...

Hey All, Used to post here quite a bit but haven't flown the drone in a long time so I fell away but after some advice from you all. I am an archaeologist and I use my drone to take photographs of archaeological sites.(See some here) Anyways, my setup is a old P2v1 which is fitted out with an...
