My .02 Invest in a $14.00 pair of parabolic reflectors...they focus the signal and increase signal strength. I can speak from personal experience.

Hi gang, Picked up a pair of those gold colored parabolic reflectors a couple weeks ago from Amazon at the suggestion a fellow droner friend. Put them in my bag and didn’t use them. Today, I flew out over water to shoot a subject one mile away. I have flown farther than this before with no...

There are many variables to this question. Are you making the print yourself or having it done professionally? If you or the print service is using a RIP, you can go absolutely huge and print sizes. A RIP, also known as a rastor image processor is software which interpolates your file up to...

Hi gang – My phantom has started doing something which is a bit disconcerting when shooting video. When I yaw clockwise and then return the stick to the neutral point, the bird will yaw back slightly counter clockwise. In other words it does not remain in the position that I last left it at. I...

I completely concur with you. I started a flight last week, waypoint recorded. I flew out 1700 feet, lost signal, aircraft disconnected and even though I had the bird set to return to home if disconnected, 10 seconds after it disconnected and promptly landed right where it was. The battery still...

FCC, right! And who in the hell is this guy named LEO, anyway?! [emoji6][emoji23]

But she is, after all a blonde and that explains why she is on the panel, but doesn't know what a UAV is! Hey, did you hear the one about finding two dead blondes frozen in their car at a drive-in theater? They went to see "closed for winter"!

Thanks for the thoughts, but when the screen said aircraft disconnected, no input on my part from the RC would have been received by the bird. Even if I did accidently hit the land button, it would not have been received by the drone.

How does slowing the shutter speed down reduce the possibility of prop shadows? ( BTW, I just received a set of polarpro filters 4,8,16).

With there be a prop shadows even though I don't have a camera pointed up the extra 30°?

Hi gang – I have recently started filming video with my phantom (I have been shooting still pictures for the last eight months). I have filmed 30 or so short videos. Yesterday I was flying over the ocean filming the surf, when I started seeing some intermittent horizontal lines appearing faintly...

An alternative to having the gimbal roll dialog box open on your screen continuously, is to hold down the right customize button (underneath your RC) and roll the silver wheel on the right side of the controller. This will accomplish the same task as the dialog box does. I have a 5.5 inch...

Hi- I am Happy to do this; however I am using a Crystalsky monitor. Are there instructions somewhere for accessing the files on this device?

Thanks for all the replies! I double checked all my settings and it was definitely set to return to home. Some other interesting things – I took the memory card out of the drone and watched the video that I was recording at the time this happened. As soon as the drone lost signal it stopped its...

Hi gang – I have owned a crystalsky for a week or so now and I am totally happy with it… Goodbye sunshade! (Just wish they would fix that jumping compass needle). Anyway, does anyone know what the internal memory is for besides downloads and screenshots, etc.? Does it have the ability to record...
