    Looks like drones will be banned from flying over moscow

    I am just wondering wether they will implement the same firmware update that stopped flying over washington, if not how it will be enforced is the question. The main gist of the article was that although they haven't had any collisions all aircraft are banned from flying over the centre of...

    wifi DIRECT connect to Phantom

    Actually the phantom V+ works with a zenmuse gimbal you just need to change one cable inside and attach the zenmuse with camera. But it still doesn't fix your issue because you still need the controller to tilt the gimbal to the position you want but you don't have to actually carry the...

    wifi DIRECT connect to Phantom

    Hi, When you are talking about the WIFI module over heating are you talking about the module in the bird or the handset? it may sound like a stupid question but .. its because I have a modded phantom V+ with a zenmuse and go pro. Why not follow that route(I know its expensive) you will have a...

    Some uncommon fail safe questions under WP missions

    1000m its going to be out of controller range and range of WIFI antenna (if its a vision+) you aren't going to be able to regain control if something bad happens, and also I think at 1000m you are going to have problems seeing it. It seems like a bad idea. Can you not get closer to the object...

    Some uncommon fail safe questions under WP missions

    If you are using the standard iPad/iphone/android ground station app for the P2V+ the GS flight plan is limited to a radius of 500m, you can fly a lot further inside that radius but that is the max distance you can fly in a straight line away from yourself. As for the signal interference I...

    Phantom 2 vision+ with zenmuse mount and gopro

    To be honest if you have problems with the app now i don't think any conversation plate will help. Have a look at some of the apps on the android store, there are some good ones that work better and have more functionality than the DJI version. I think for 350 euro you can get an amazing android...
