Hi Boozshey, About your 2 comments... Honestly, if it was my company, I simply wouldn't/couldn't afford to replace every flyaway, especially when most are likely pilot error (as our very first flight was, when I was focusing on the drone-not-the-phone and got mixed up about which lever to...

Hi to all, This is just to thank DJI for truly outstanding customer care after a flyaway, as well as to leave a "status check tip" before taking off for a full flight. -- A bit of background. My daughter and I are newbies who are doing drone videos of Anguilla for her website about Anguilla...

Excellent, dronoob! Thanks very much for the review.... viewtopic.php?p=98999#p98999 They sound pretty good! I imagine, at some point, you have to bite the bullet and just trust the glasses? Do you find that you have a much better view of where you are when in bright sun, compared to...

Re: Rotorpixel or DroneExperts Gimbal (after all is consider Thanks very much, Pull_Up. I've put in my order for the Rotorpixel, so now I wait 8 weeks. :-) -- iDrone, this summarizes the state of the union eloquently (I've been thinking exactly the same)... viewtopic.php?p=97497#p97497 The...

Re: Rotorpixel or DroneExperts Gimbal (after all is consider Thanks very much, Pull_Up. You are a fountain of knowledge. I even understood the part that said "contact Will." :-) I'll PM you for his private email address. Thanks very much. -- On the RP note, I heard back from Keri...

Re: Rotorpixel or DroneExperts Gimbal (after all is consider Hi to all, Thnanks very much for some terrific feedback! :-) -- Pull_Up, judging from reports of possible distance-loss with both versions, I'll be using a range extender to make sure we don't have the problem. We could use the...

There was a time, fanredwings, that we didn't talk to Detroit fans, especially if they were from Canada! Of course, that was back when the NHL had 6 teams. ;-) Being from Montreal originally, I had to stop watching hockey to preserve my mental health. So it doesn't matter anymore. We're...

Hello to all, I (raw newbie) started a thread on "Simplest Solution for FPV Glasses/Goggle Flying?" at.... viewtopic.php?f=7&t=8774 We seem to be down to 2 good choices, with each of us buying 1 and we will leave reviews there. Along the way, I raised the topic of "DIY Gimbals" (i.e., for...

Outstanding dronoob! Regarding your post just above, I checked out the whole range ("cinemizer, fatshar, itvgoggles, vizux and sony") that you listed. This thread narrowed it down to either iTVgoggles or the new Fatshark DominatorHD (currently in pre-release). Others fell out for various...

Decisions, decisions... when I have to make them, I tend do what I do best - something else. Double the trouble when I now have TWO decision to make, as I do now (gimbal and goggles). Thanks, Pull_Up! ;-) -- To cavaleiro01 - you recommended Cinemizer on the first page of this thread as well...

Thanks very much, szobell. My daughter uploaded a second one. It has received a blizzard of shares (almost 300, her most-shared FB post ever)... https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=79 ... eam_ref=10 The Facebook algo has also sent it to over 40,000 people, another record (way ahead of any...

First result! :-) Re: Simplest Solution for FPV Glasses Ordering is turning out to be a real pain. First, there was the issue of payment from Anguilla and Paypal. Once we ironed that out (we'll wire them the funds), Support from itvGoogles told me they had the connector needed for Kindle...

Phew, after a bit of back-and-forth with ITVgoggles, I'm finally ready to place my order with them. However, they only take orders through PayPal and Paypal does not include Anguilla in its country drop-down menu! It's hard to understand why a company of this size doesn't have their own...

Thanks very much, Todd (jinglesnz), for those kind words. A wise man once told me, "Don't be afraid to ask the stupid questions. You learn much faster that way." And, um... Don't ask about the copter blade cuts on my left foot and right hand. ;-) It does help to read the manual (as in "don't...

Paul, I can see what you're saying for photos. But I had visions of dramatic videos swooping along the curve of a beach, gradually coming down in altitude (sort of a zoom-in effect) and continuing along in that manner. With our sun here in Anguilla, it's very hard to see the phone's screen...
