    Phantom 3 Crack Repairs

    I know its a Phantom Forum but i figured someone might like to see what an Elios is: Thermal Cam and HD cam. Surrounded by a gyroscopic role cage. The ideal underground drone!

    Phantom 3 Crack Repairs

    Oh i know it. Im going to try the collision avoidance out tomorrow morning. Have a couple different drones that I used for different things. I have my phantom for surface work, and I have an Elios by Flyability for my underground work. The Elios has a $27K price tag. So ive been pretty liberal...

    Damaged cell? or something internal in drone

    Is it possible the drones internals could be reading something wrong? It just seems odd that all 3 batteries are reporting the same cell as being damaged out of no where.
