I tried the "Upload a File" button several times, and nothing happens. A message tells me "the file name is invalid" Hal

Hey Forumites...this morning I was advised by Jackson to go ahead and order the Hubsan H501S X4 before there was a price increase, so I ordered one from Amazon. This is my 4th quadcopter, and my first with FPV. Prior to ordering, I read a lot of reviews and saw a few videos on the quad, and...

What about flying at an altitude that takes in a full city block, just so you can see how many swimming pools are in your neighborhood? That's not spying on any one property...is it? HiDesertHal

I would like to know how to post photos on THIS forum...every forum I belong to has a different method for posting picture files! Thanks, HiDesertHal

I see! The great Mojave Desert extends for 48,000 square miles and lies mostly in Southeastern California, but extends into Nevada, Arizona, and Utah as well. HiDesertHal

Hey Jackson...that link you provided answered my most important questions, so I ordered the Hubsan on Amazon for $219 including tax and shipping. The video looks just like the desert terrain outside my Apple Valley neighborhood! Hal

WHEW! That's a lot to think about! Maybe I should go back to model railroading..... Hal

If I'm flying and I want to make a single shot of a scene appearing on my controller screen, how do I stop the continuous video stream so I could send the shot to the photo card? Then I would upload the card to my computer, select the scene, and print a photo. Thanks, HiDesertHal

Hey Jackson, Since I'm a bit shaky at age 81, I would probably stick to the more forgiving GPS mode all the time, and I also prefer the standard model's larger screen. Also, I would feel paranoid if I let the quad fly more than 1/4 mile from my position. I'm more conservative in my elderly...

Thanks Rick, but I've had a long-standing account with Amazon, and their shipping is fast with payment from my Visa. I agree that Jackson's second-mentioned model is preferable. For an extra $14, you get a larger screen, too. Hal

Thanks, guys! I've heard of the Hubsans. I'll check 'em out on Amazon, where I buy most of my non-edible items. Hal

Hey Rick M, Thanks for the welcome! Fontana is just down the Cajon Pass from my high desert town of Apple Valley. Cheers, HiDesertHal (or HDH, or Hal)

Thanks, Jackson! I have 2 multimeters, one Analog and the other Digital. I spent 36 years as an Electrical Lab Test Engineer at Boeing, and I've handled many, many kinds of test instruments. I even have a Geiger Counter! I'm just asking what the Forum recommends for a quadcopter with camera...

Hello, My first quadcopter was a simple unit without camera, which I tired of quickly and gave to my nephew, who crashed it without delay. My second bird had a camera, but did not transmit live video, but stored the images on a photo card, which I uploaded to my computer to see what the drone...

HA HA! OK, Spork... Hal..........do you read me, Hal?..........Hal,.........Hal,..........Hal ! Nice to meet you, American Gothic Spork, and my regards to the Forum! HiDesertHal

Hello, this is HiDesertHal, living in the High Mojave Desert at 3000 ft. elevation, in the town of Apple Valley, Ca. I recently bought my 3rd quadcopter, a tiny one just to entertain our 2 cats and 2 dogs. That's it! HiDesertHal
