    Crash landed! Please help identify problem w/ video SOLVED

    Re: Crash landed! Please help identify problem w/ video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HrsGM0PzQFo Vortex wing state. TO get out of it, be moving forward, back, or to the side. More thrust does't help that much. Practice moving in and out while real high in the air. It also makes your...

    Shaking of video when flying at fast speeds -30 second video

    I am flying a DJI phantom version 1 with upgrade motors and I have moved between the vision props and the stock props. I am also using an Arris cm2000 gimbal. I have noticed that when I am flying forward at a fast speed I am getting enough shaking to make the video less that useable. I have...

    FPV better to have goggles or screen?

    Geezsus, I might be doing completely different flying than everyone else, but the goggle are horrible for my uses. I crashed 3 times with them shortly after takeoff. I need to physically watch the phantom for the first 20 seconds to get it up and above branches and make sure it is responding...

    Worst horror stories of Phantom injuries

    When I was referring to props hitting me I meant like when it was idling on the ground or carrying it with props slightly spinning. When they are at idle I don't mind them hitting me. Please don't think that I regularly crash it into myself. That is one funny wedding video. I think it is...

    Worst horror stories of Phantom injuries

    If you fly your Phantom you really should know how the home lock function works. Give it 65% power, engage home lock pull back on right stick. It will save you many times.

    Worst horror stories of Phantom injuries

    Here was the story of the person that was killed: http://abclocal.go.com/wabc/story?secti ... id=9237643 Here is a video of the type of copter: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HRPfLKVMGM8 I think it is a 1.5 meter carbon fiber blade that cut him up, not quite a phantom.

    Worst horror stories of Phantom injuries

    Everyone says how dangerous the quads are and calls them flying lawnmowers. After months of props hitting me and bad landings I have yet to incur any injury. I might be lucky, but can anyone tell me what is the worst damage their Phantom has ever caused. If it was yours and you are...

    Christmas Lights of Boise, Idaho

    Sorry for leaving that out. I use tiger motors for the phantom, the larger vision props on a version 1 phantom. I use a fat shark fpv but don't know why i wasted money on goggles. I added a monitor this week and it is really the only way to get these shots as you can't be putting goggles on...

    Christmas Lights of Boise, Idaho

    Im not really sure what the workflow was. x-mss lights are pretty bright and seem to do well. Like I said in my description, 1080 p, 30 fps, medium view. I did a fair amount of cropping, straightening, and ken burnsing. It was not a 3+, just a 3. I did it all in Final Cut Pro X. Thanks for...

    Best charger for Phantom Batteries

    TO hawk 300, is there any difference between the one I posted I liked and the one you recommended besides the $20? I guess I would also need balance plugs and a power supply. Any recommendations on power supply? Almost as much as the charger.

    Best charger for Phantom Batteries

    I was really hoping for one that could charge 4 different batteries of different types at a time. What do you think of this charger? http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/stor ... 11170.html It is a Turnigy 4x6s. It looks like I also need to get a power supply and a bunch of balance connectors...
