    Altitude Conundrum

    Re: Altitude Conumbrum It will allow you to fly 1800' above the "home" altitude of zero. So, as long as you let it come to grips with the home location of where you are, it will let you go up another 1800' from your ground level. My normal flying area is 575' above sea level, I have my max...

    Standard Thread Lock Warning

    Not to sound naive but I have had the top off of my Phantom half a dozen times over the last couple months for various upgrades and cable changes and have reused the same screws that came with it and have not applied any additional thread lock per the instructions. As one of my maintenance...

    How much of a stretch would human flight be?

    Not a really big stretch, but still not sure we are quite there yet: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CzP0Zqxam7E

    Boscam is not the best

    I have the exact setup, I easily am getting 500 yards using the cheapest slow boat from china cloverleaf antenna. There has been a lot of discussion about how the TS832 isn't Boscam, it isn't 600mw, it is sub-par and so on but in the end it works, works well and is very usable. It took some...

    Help.....

    Well, not sure what the other end of your TX cable looks like or how you wired it but first off, it appears you are not running an iOSD so you need to make sure the little switch on the hub is set to Vid.

    Still Photos - GoPro Hero3 Black

    The issue I found is that in timelapse mode the camera will no longer work as an FPV camera. So, what I have been messing with is if I am looking at getting stills I set the camera to 4K 15fps and do my flight then extract the frames I want from the video. Produces a really good still and I can...

    Flying straight but body rotated CW

    Thanks for the response but in my case at least, I have re-calibrated several times with no change. Also, over the course of the flight it straightens itself out. Before this particular flight I even took a plastic torpedo level and made sure my takeoff platform was level and the phantom was...

    Flying straight but body rotated CW

    So, I managed to get a pretty good example out of my FPV DVR from a flight over the weekend. The first image is a couple minutes into the flight, the second is about 6 minutes later in the same flight. Actual home location is the little blue marker I drew on there. As you can see the first one...

    Brave people who want antennas to boost FPV out of sight

    I am one of those guys that has ordered some of the "new fangled" antenna and am anxiously waiting for their arrival. But, on the flip side I also have hard limits set on my Phantom to 300' AGL and 1500' distance max because I am old school RC and, like you, get very uncomfortable when I am...

    Flying straight but body rotated CW

    I have the same issue. I really noticed it after I got my FPV up and running and the iOSD Mini, when I look at the home diamond through the FPV it is usually about 15 degrees west (to the right if I am heading South). The thing is if I put the center of the display over the diamond ( basically...

    Potentiometer other than 5K

    I wondered about all this as well but follow the "directions' and went with the 5K linear and it works FANTASTIC! The trick is to make sure you get the "polls" right and then to calibrate the entire throw of it (if that is what you want). I did a little experimenting and during calibration I...

    dismal range :(

    I am also using the TS832 and the LCD5802 but at the moment I have a couple of the $6 knock-off clover leaf antenna and I can comfortably get 450M out of them. What I found was finding the right channel and for me it was 32,34 was not bad either but 32 seems to be it in my area. I have been...

    Which DVR (SD)?

    I am using this one, no remote, kind of cheesy, but it does get the job done. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00A0JMY8C/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
