    Batteries over the winter

    I live in central Canada, so right now until March, it's too cold to fly my drone. Will my batteries be ok until then? They are fully charged now but not being used. Will not using them have an adverse effect on their life? Is there anything I should do with them during the "winter break"? We...

    Gimbal help

    I am not sure if I am having problems with the gimbal or if there is another problem. Here is a video I recently took. The camera is not stable as it flies, tilting back and forth quite a bit. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V74Ooay ... e=youtu.be The white pads seem fine. The camera seems...

    Flying Sideways in GS

    I am trying to figure out if this is even possible. I have a P2V+, using my iphone to track the drone. GS is cool and seems to work very well. Is it possible to program the GS part of the app so the drone flies sideways and I can concentrate on the angle of the camera? Just to clarify, I want...

    A UAV/Phantom Pilot Group in Manitoba?

    Hi, I am also from Winnipeg and am very interested in getting together occasionally to chat about UAVs. Also maybe to do some videos, such as the Human Rights Museum, the Legislative Building, maybe some sporting events.

    How well does a mini fit in the clamp for the phone, does it open up wide enough?

    California Coast at Pigeon Point

    I really like the pace of your shots and the length before you switch to another view. A lot of the arial videos I have seen jump from shot to shot quickly, but I like seeing a good long shot. Really well done.

    any one flying with an ipad? mounts suggestions?

    Yes, I have control over the gimbal. Works well. But my friend will control that part of the flight while I control the phantom. The bigger screen helps in those bright days when it's hard to see my iPhone screen. I'm really looking forward to the 5.5 inch iPhone for this reason alone

    any one flying with an ipad? mounts suggestions?

    Rumours are the next iPhone will have a 5.5 inch screen, supposed to be coming out in September. I'm hoping that will be better. In the meantime I am going to use my ipad next flight but I will have a friend with me who is going to hold it.

    Using Phantom to film Demolition Derby

    Fun to watch, well done. I'm curious, did they instruct you not to fly directly over the competition while it was taking place?

    Golf course hole flyovers - Virginia

    Well done! I too like the high fly overs. Beautiful golf course, I look forward to more videos. I think it would look cool to have golfers on the course, will you be trying that?
