    Battery issue - HELP!

    So, I tried to fly today to get some nice snow shots. Batteries are fully charged, practically brand new (flown twice - no issues whatsoever) and I get this. I've looked online for any solutions - but I can't seem to find anything regarding the power button LED flashes slowly like that. It is...

    United States FAA proposed rules LEAKED - what do you think?

    http://tcrn.ch/1KZ9kJ3 The LOS rules might be a thorn in the side of many. I sort of like the idea of being a registered "drone" pilot. Hopefully that will then open the door to insure these things for commercial use. What do you all think?

    where is a good pix of ALL naza flight light signals?

    30 mph winds?! You've got guts. I had the perfect sunlight, perfect location, perfect setup a couple days ago for a promo shoot I am doing. Instead of putting it up in the air - I waited. In a parking lot. For 2 hours. The wind was probably gusting around 20-25 mph. Couldn't do it.

    Who wants a New Olympus Micro 4/3 Camera equipped Vision+???

    Re: Who wants a New Olympus Micro 4/3 Camera equipped Vision I would love this. But - I also quite like the wide angle fish eye lens. I will happily fly both :)

    Nexus 7

    Haven't read through the entire thread, but do all your tables have data plans along with it? I could use my 7" tablet, but it is wifi only.

    Am I ready?

    Also, may I just say that this community is awesome. Very helpful and kind. I missed a step in all my preps, and because I read a different topic it was fixed. I never calibration the wheel to control the camera yesterday. I noticed it was very jerky, and just figured I was doing something...

    You guys are crazy! And no, it's not off topic - it's my topic and I enjoy the conversation. I had mine up to around 350 ft. today and I was getting nervous! Baby steps...baby steps.

    Concern over no fly zones

    Wow - I feel dumb. That map was MUCH better and the video clarified it all. Thanks!

    Concern over no fly zones

    After reading the other thread on here where the guy lost dunked his Phantom in the water because of a "No Fly Zone - Landing" message, I have a couple questions. Is that the protocol now for everywhere within the 5 (or is it 3) mile radius of an airport now with updated firmware? Or, is it...

    Am I ready?

    Ya know - there was a radio/cell tower about 300-500 yards away, but I was flying in the other direction. Maybe that caused some interference. I noticed it did stray from the holding position a few times, changed elevation a bit also (+/- 3-5 ft.) I attributed that to the wind gusts though...

    Am I ready?

    VERY happy to report every went ok. Granted, I was very caution, but I did manage to get the thing up to about 250'. It was a little windier than forecasted, but she held position well. Two things that were downers. First, the binding initially (at home) took FOREVER. For whatever reason...

    Am I ready?

    Yup. That's the idea. Tomorrow I won't take it high - I'll just go through the training exercises and burn through two batteries. Sunday I will go a little higher.

    Am I ready?

    To be honest...didn't check outside. I am flying in a field about a block away form my house. Inside was where I got 8-10. I am in South Jersey.

    Am I ready?

    I will be flying in NAZA mode for sure. I also downloaded the GPS satellite "finder" app as advised in the guide here and my location has between 8-10 depending on the time of day.
