It's looks like a traffic sign. Little orange paint and a 'Yield for Drone' label and you are good.

Seriously though, did ya fab the connector to the rc? I've an idea for s panel to replace the CCP panel, but struggling for a good/light way to attach to the rc. I like how th fpvlr antennas connect and found this bracket on eBay but $50'is way too much for it.

If you have a printer there are some files on thingyverse that are basically the same

Hey wuddup Kyle!! haven't seen you here in a bit!! I couldn't find any mounts on thingiverse, This one was from Seb.

can you send me a link for one???

KyleMaxxUAV · Aug 23, 2016

Hey Pro !! I was off for my wedding for a bit and super busy with my day to day job.. Haven't had much time for anything lol but starting to get back to normal now !!!

I will see if i can find the link .. I think DB may have posted it in another thread .. It was almost the same as the FPVLR one.

I think people were drilling holes and putting a insert for tripods if I remember correctly.

Can you tell me in layman's terms how to take screen shot of the flight. You might want to imagine you are talking to someone educated in the judicial system. I have a android device.
Well don't even imagine. Thanks.

If you're still looking for screenshots while flying in layman's terms go to the Play Store on your Android and go to this link and put it on your tablet or phone. Whatever you use for flying your drone.

Wanna share the STL file? Or print me one?

I think, if i can line up enough things to print, i've validated the reasoning for buying the 3d printer to my wife!

I keep telling my brother-in-law (mac man) I can't go to the dark side. and he keeps telling my I am already in the dark side.
I agree you don't need to loose sight at 20k and the stress is already elevated

Ya know, i've gone back and forth on this... I use Android as my phone and prefer it. For my tablet, i really prefer iPad.So i've been mixed on what to use for my Phantom, as I want something dedicated and not shared and in the 7-9" screen range. I ended up with a Nexus 7 which had never really been used for free, so I've stuck with it. But, iOS app development has moved forward while Android really has not. The iOS UI is better/more polished, the compass/radar actually works, and it shows the map at the same time. The only downfall is that its harder to get flightlogs from iOS than Android and iOS doesn't show battery life. I think the hardware decoding on iOS really sets it apart and ends up with a smoother flying experience and i end up with less total lag.

On a CCP related topic, I think i can mod my Comcast ARRIS modem with the antennas to get better range in house. This may be my next project
