" I was constantly distracted by the props and even the frame showing in the shot. You might be able to crop this in post, or when you're out again restrict the gimbal from going that high up. I never had a problem with this until I took out that restriction myself. To each his own, though...

marciano, Did you ever find a resolution to your problem of no video and only OSD info? I had the same problem but it was resolved by replacing the ribbon cable. One thing I noticed is that the connectors of the ribbon cable do have locks that must be unlocked to remove the bad cable and then...

Here are aerial videos of the storm damage to the Fissel Farm in Adams County near Littlestown, Pennsylvania..

I love kites too. I started aerial photography and video using a go-pro mounted on a kite or kite string. The big problem was lack of stabilization. See this example here at the Florida Keys. Here is a video from a more stable 12-foot kite:

I am surprised that your current setup is not working for you. I have a IBCrazy Helical and a set of IbCrazy Ultra Blue Beams on the video transmitter and the Black Pearl. I can easily see out to 3000m and 5500m. I do not have any comparisons for the FVPLR antenna. For long distance I do...

I have exceeded 5000m on multiple occasions with Phantom 2 original stock controller (w/tilt lever) and original antenna. The Phantom 2 also has original stock antennas with no mods. At that distance you are at the limits of the stock battery. The video distance will be your bigger...

I have the Polar Pro, You will have to re-balance the camera/filter with coins or weights. A CP (Circular Polarizer) is used in bright sunny water or snow conditions. It will slow down the shutter and help reduce jello in the video. It can enhance the blues in sky and seeing through water and...

I have made purchases from both B&H and Drones Etc. Both seemed very accommodating when dealing with issues. B&H did replace a faulty controller in March 2014 quickly (within 1 week). On another occasion I did get the run-around from B&H when trying to return two faulty batteries in July...

I have been on 4 flights and it had no adverse affect on the compass. I take mine on as a carry-on. I would recommend that you recalibrate the compass upon arrival to a new location as mentioned in the manual (5.3 item 2. 5.3 When Recalibration is required （1） When Compass Data is abnormal...
