    I'm in the exact same boat. I hope this pans out.

    New(?) idea for RTH

    Well good luck then :) (ps: I meant coordinates rather than map stored on the phantom) Right now the phantom is capable of keeping a single dynamic coordinate (home) which can be updated on the fly every 2s and without the user doing anything. Once you want to increase the number of...

    Arghhh... has anyone found a way to downgrade the Zen-IMU firmware from 1.0.0.6? I read the howto post too late ;(

    New(?) idea for RTH

    Once you have object avoidance, you probably can do away with traceback for 90% of the cases. Just fly straight back, and fly higher if there are objects until the phantom can clear it; or somethinig like that. I'd imagine something like this is most useful when you don't have control of your...

    FPV Booster App DOUBLE Vision+ FPV Range

    Thanks for the englightment. I ended up asking for refund on this app, the developer sure sounds sketchy.

    New(?) idea for RTH

    Always best to KISS (Keep it Simple... Silly). Traceback issues: 1. Will effectively half the effective flight time, you'll need to trace the exact way back to go home. 2. The world may not be static. What was your initial path, may not be the same on the way back. (Assuming tracing back means...

    Hopefully a lighter Phantom2 will give me more flight time.

    Re: Hopefully a lighter Phantom2 will give me more flight ti I think that's a huge loss in functionality and safety feature.

    When people ask how much your drone cost, what do you say?

    Re: When people ask how much your drone cost, what do you sa I'd sucker them as I was suckered into the hobby myself... It all started with: "Oh the base system is just around $3-400..."

    Is it weird that i like....

    Yep, exactly! I have one on order and I'm trying to modularize my vtx cabling so I can swap vtx-es without opening the shell and resoldering the cables... (but without using DJI's FPV hub)

    Is it weird that i like....

    Do you guys know that there are video switchers so you can have both cameras mounted and switched back and forth between them on the fly? Granted you'll have to suffer the additional weight penalty (50-60gr for the camera, cables and switcher probably) and you need to switch the rc tx\rx to...

    Best Adhesive Velcro to mount Transmitter, etc to Phantom

    Re: Best Adhesive Velcro to mount Transmitter, etc to Phanto One thing about DualLocks... they work best on flat surfaces. I know it's obvious that flat surface maximizes the area of contact, but more importantly for Dual Lock is that it's designed to be removed from an angle (peeled). So if...

    When you buy parts what's most important to you.

    @Gizmo: do you go to a different site to order from their US account? If one bothers to check reviews of HobbyKing.com, you'll find they score less than 2/10 in average: https://www.google.com/search?rls=en&q= ... iew&rls=en Plenty of complaints against their US operation too on BBB...
