Not sure what the feeling is about "dronie" videos. I thought they were kinda cool, I know the "d" word is not favored here, but at least it's a positive/fun use of this technology! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PjuoD8D6N24

I pulled a NASA and used the wrong measurement in my post... I meant around 400ft for height. I believe my iOSD read around 120-130 meters at the highest point. I was going out around 600 meters for distance. For whatever reason, I always think about altitude in terms of feet and do a rough...

Are you TRYING to make me lose my quad!? ;-) I will have to go back out there!

This is my first planned video since I have added a Zenmuse, video Tx/iOSD with Black Pearl LCD, and Mad Dog batteries. I did a couple test flights to get everything figured out before this, but this is the first flight where I focused on shooting video instead of figuring out hardware. I flew...

Have you seen this video? Colin Guinn (CEO-DJI NA) talks about the fly away issue and beyond the usual things to check, he discusses how they have modified the latest firmware to account for potential fly away issues. It's a good listen. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u-Vje8ogD74

Excellent video, beautiful boat too! One of the big reason's I got a Phantom a few months ago is to take sailing videos this summer. Do you have any tips or lessons learned that are unique to flying from boats? I have a Phantom v1.1.1 with the Zenmuse Gimbal and FPV with a 7" LCD. I have...

I'd like to know the answer to this question also! The upper limit on the gimbal is way too high and the lever doesn't seem to be very accurate, or maybe it's just too sensitive to set reliably. I tried calibrating it in the software by intentionally setting the upper limit to half, but that...

Thanks for the replies guys. I have been flying it more since mounting the H3-2D. It is definitely front heavy, but I pull down a bit on takeoff and slam throttle to full briefly and it reliably takes off without gaining forward speed too quickly. I wish there was a way to calibrate the...

I just finished installing the H3-2D and did the replacement MC Board method on my Phantom v1.1.1. Now that I've got it all back together and I attempted my first flight... The Phantom seems very front heavy on tak-off. Unless I go completely to full throttle and jam it into the air, it tips...

I recently purchased a DJI Phantom and have been looking at gimbals. I noticed on the Storm SD-10 description page that it says the following... "Rotation Angle : Both Axis 45 degrees". I was wondering the same thing as you, if I would be able to angle the GoPro straight down, based on this...
