    If you use a GoPro 3 or 4, DO NOT update the firmware!

    Wtf this is ridiculous!

    Launch pads?

    Usually launch from my case too. I'm always concerned about blowing dust and dirt in the motors. Probably keeps the gimbal cleaner too. And I hand catch.

    Don't buy cheap cases for your drone

    I have the go pro hard case which I have been really happy with. For hiking I picked up and old school framed pack and I just strap the hard case onto it. Works great. Hiked 4km the other day.

    Problem with charger/battery black pearl

    I only have three batteries so I am happy with an hour. I'm sure it would last a bit less when actually being used.

    Problem with charger/battery black pearl

    If anyone is interested I finally tested the battery. I charged it up and just left it on. The battery showed zero bars like it was dead but lasted for over an hour switched on!

    Near flyaway

    I hope it was just a one time glitch! I should hook it up to my computer and do a compass recalibration.

    Hot weather flying - The Arizona desert is heating up. What's the highest temp that you've flown in?

    yeah it gets warm here in the summer! Usually over 30C everyday. I normally fly at Vernons elevation of 1250ASL. I have flown on top of mountain and I have never noticed a difference. Flown in -10c as well, all I noticed was a bit of jello.

    Near flyaway

    Hey all, I was on my 65th flight last week. I had taken off from a courtyard in a winery, then landed and shut everything down at around 50% battery. I started everything up as I have done before. I waited for satellites I believe I had 8 or more. I took off it went up to 30' then with no...

    Problem with charger/battery black pearl

    Jacob I am not sure how long the battery is lasting. I never like it to shut off mid flight. I should check to see how long each battery lasts thou. Maybe it is the monitor? I have two batteries now.

    Problem with charger/battery black pearl

    MY charger light shows that it is powered, when I plug the screen in the light goes red and after 20-30 min the lights goes green. The problem is when I turn the screen on the battery shows one to zero bars. This happens on both batteries. Not sure if I have a battery or charger problem...

    Black Pearl battery losing charge

    Thanks for the replies. Maybe I will pull the battery after charging. Never noticed that sticker lol. I will use the defective one as a spare as the company I bought it from did not want it back.

    How Do You Fly Micro in House

    I mastered my phantom quite easily. I bought the Estes nano quad back in November. Man that thing is hard to control. Took me a few days to get good. My two year old son loves it too. I felt so bad but he was sitting next to me and I lost control and crashed into him. He had a small mark...
