I've broken more props than that in a single weekend ! However it was in an unfamiliar location going about 50 mph through trees and about five feet off the ground. Aside from the way the ground can grab your quad and send it furiously cartwheeling just because you dipped an arm into the dirt...

"Prop guards ? We dunn need no stinkin prop guards !" (Treasure of the Sierra Madre) :p

:rolleyes: :eek: :p

:rolleyes: ... I'm not that familiar with these two drones either, but also worth noting is the Hubsan uses generic batteries, while the Holy Stone has proprietary ones. You generally don't want proprietary batteries. All other considerations being equal (not saying they are, just saying IF...

:rolleyes: .... Didn't look too jerky to me ! The rotational speed appeared to vary a tiny bit but that's also an optical aspect as objects more close transition faster than those farther away.

:eek:... YOU BROKE YOUR BRAND NEW GIMBAL !! ... lmao ... (j/k) ... Hope you get it sorted out ... :p Like Spork says, show us a slower rotation so we can get a better look at the skipping. This is apparently not an uncommon occurrence with these 2-axis gimbals. There IS video stabilization...

Good point, sometimes the formatting process coming from the quad vs coming from the 'puter (or another camera) don't want to "play nice" together. If you CAN format it in the quad do that so you know it's recording onto the card in the quad cam's proper format. The computer should be...

Nevermind, I see that .55 pounds limit in several online references (although I've yet to find it in any FAA materials) so I'll accept it as such. However, in the words of Star Trek, "I WILL NOT COMPLY" :mad:

:rolleyes: .... Ok, point taken, if it IS over 55 pounds then it's not ok, but show me where it says anything over .55 pounds needs to be registered ? o_O

It says right here FIFTY FIVE pounds o_O c. Determination of “Model Aircraft” Status. Whether a given unmanned aircraft operation may be considered a “model aircraft operation” is determined with reference to section 336 of Public Law 112-95: (1) The aircraft is flown strictly for hobby or...

:rolleyes: ... Ummm, almost all my stuff's weight is at least one pound. Don't fly over 400 feet high, or over 100 mph, or near an airport are the main rules and weight is nothing over several pounds as I recall ... transmission power was another one too, I think it's a half watt limit .... I'll...

o_O ... I've been flying all sorts of stuff for over forty years (USA) and never registered anything ! As I understand it as long as you don't exceed size/weight limitations or output power limits you do not need to.

... I've cashed in my points for odds and ends over time, nothing wrong with tossing in some free stuff to your next order :)

:rolleyes: ... Yep, just swap any two wires to correct spin directions. CW/CCW screw thread concerns are for props mounted by a single nut and don't apply to this situation.

:rolleyes: ... There's basically two types: One is just a buzzer that you turn on with your radio when looking for a lost quad. These are generally used on hobby grade quads flown by hobby grade radios. The other has an numerical led display and usually two loud piezo elements that...

Mode 2 means the throttle is the left stick's up and down movement. This is the most common mode (at least in the USA). To control other quads that use different communication methods (command protocols), including toys, modules are plugged into the back of the radio...

The version 2 charger has a few features the original does not so it's the better choice (IF you'll even use those features), mine is a V1 and it still does everything I need for this hobby. The transmitter I use is the FrSky Taranis X9D Plus. I like it because it holds a zillion different...

First you should learn to fly the starter quads you have to their limits, THEN you can start thinking about racing, otherwise you'll just be destroying good racing gear. Since you've already purchased a camera and screen, the first goggles you might want to look at would be the "box types". They...
