It's a 600 mW and I was only a half block away at 30m elev. Signal was definitely blocked. It cut out only when I was moving towards myself and the quad tilted. Well my concern was that with it on top the quad body would block the signal when it was above me, or above me with the antenna on...

Ok, so, I took the antenna off of the top of the quad, and put it on the tail thinking hey, I'm always going to be flying it in front of me, and with my trainer quad without FPV, this is how I fly, always tail toward me to keep my bearings. Well in FPV mode, if I fly away and turn around to...

Since everyone is so helpful. Sheesh. Well, apparently the simpleBGC GUI version 2.2b2 WILL work with the board and the CP210x driver despite the inability to update the firmware. I wonder if there is some form of write protect on the board that is switched on preventing me from flashing new...

All, I received my Matrix E with a new gimbal (not even on their website) that was I think calibrated for the Sony Nex5, or maybe just wasn't calibrated to the right gain to begin with. I am using a Sony A6000. The camera is heavy enough that the gimbal just falls down and the camera...

Ok, so I'm dying to know how you got the audio in there without the whzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz! Did you prerecord sounds and then edit them into the airborne video?

Kinda weird you posted this and nobody said anything. That's some pretty sweet footage, and nice video editing. I wish I would have had my quad when I took all of the awesome road trips of my youth...

Isn't the Blade Nano just the equivalent to the Hubsan he already has? I think you want something other than the Nano next. I use the Hubsan to chase the sand pipers in my neighborhood. They do that diversion act trying to get you away from their young chicks running around, pretending to...

Oh PS... If you can handle the cheesiness and the patronizing: This is so easy, EVEN you can do it: tone, these videos cover a lot of the questions you have... http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1355327#sthash.48q7lFAt.dpuf

Why do you say FPV is only possible through goggles? Hard to do with a screen? I decided to start with a screen, at the advise of others. I wanted the Skyzone FPV goggles... Well, I'm far from the expert, but I can tell you what I have learned... This discusses Long Range FPV, and is worth...

Sounds like you need to train that helper of yours how to fly a quad. =)

Suggestion... You already have a toy. Play with that while you assemble one you can really enjoy a piece at a time instead of buying another cheap toy you won't be able to do much more than the parrot with because you're under budgetary constraints. You saw that Parrot on Woot huh? That's...

Hmm. I did consider both the Phantom and the Blade 350 QX. A couple local vendors tried to steer me toward the blade, which did look visibly cheaper in build quality to be honest. I was leaning toward the Phantom, but with all of the add ons, the nice camera gimbal, the FPV system, better...

LOL. Yeah, exactly. I'm afraid I spent WAY too much on this quad. I'm terrified to fly it anywhere. I might have to put together another cheaper one I'm less terrified to crash so I can actually enjoy flying it without soiling myself every time anything comes close to it. I was watching...

Ok, so, my Matrix was delayed because I changed my mind and decided to get the Futaba 14sg instead of the Futaba 10J, and then when the vendor installed my OSD, the chip fried, so he had to order another one. I was told the DJI OSD chips have a 1 in 30 failure rate. Geeze, you would think they...

Ah, then you biff and they replace your craft. LOL. Nice.
