Hello Ken
Thanks for the first long distance Lightbridge video flight I have seen. Just got a phantom 2 with Zenmuse gimbal on Wednesday only flown it straight up and down at the moment, before it started to rain Thursday night (been at work since). Just asked the next door neighbour if can practice in his garden Sunday as he has no trees in his garden and about 1 acre in size (I know that is small to some place in the USA, but we have boxes in the UK).
A few questions:-
1.Have you bought the Lightbridge, if so where from? As cannot find anybody selling them at the moment
2. How did you have your phone connected. Was it via the USB or HDMI?
3. Can you connect the Phone via USB with OSD and the HDMI to a larger monitor without OSD at the same time?
4. Can you switch the OSD on off with your Futaba (Which version?)
5. Was you using the aerial that came with the Lightbridge or higher gain antennas?
6. Have you removed all the 'old' FPV items and just installed the Lightbridge on the Phantom?
Spent the 10 days before Christmas in New York for the first time. It was like a dream going into B&H, was going to buy a Microsoft Surface but was all sold out so bought a new DSLR, Compact camera and a GOPRO 3+ for my cycle.
If I new I was going to get interested in Quadcopters I would have bought a lot more goodies, we get ripped of in the UK. Cannot find many shops that sell the FUBATA RC without 30% mark up than your prices.
Might be cheaper to go back to NY if the Lightbridge is a lot cheaper for a weekend.
Regards Richard
