    Help! old dude here that doesnt have a clue!

    Yes buy extra props and then buy more extra props! Practice low and slow. Maybe put some cones in your yard. When you feel comfortable enough, rotate the quad and fly back to yourself so that the controls are backwards...... small steps but youll get it. And when you crash eventually, dont get...

    Arducopter flips on takeoff

    Try moving the trim on the right stick. Centered isnt always perfect thats why theyre there. Try adjusting the trim so it wont roll on takeoff.(opposite the way it wants to roll). I hope this helps

    Not to be a wise guy but why wouldnt a delivery truck just drive the last half mile? But that is cool technology and it will have its uses for sure. Im trying to get my drone to get me a beer but it cant open the fridge door. Its a work in progress.(j/k)

    New pilot bought used eachine racer 250 ready to fly

    Amazon has extra batteries and multichargers. And transmitters for that matter. I buy all my stuff there if they have it which they usually do. Great for reviews too but you have to wade through the fake ones. Good luck

    Quad wants to take off

    Sounds like your transmitter needs to be calibrated. The motors should arm at zero throttle but shouldnt increase rpms till 50% or wherever you set it.

    Selecting right battery for quad 450

    I have a Tarot 650 with two 10000 mah lipos configured for 6s. Flies very well as I mounted the batteries next to the main platform and with retractable gear its pretty sweet. Not to mention flight times. At 6s Im still at just 10000mah but so far its been great.

    Drones with switchable propellers?

    Ive never seen a store bought quad that provides different props. They are all engineered for the weight of the quad so only one design is necessary. But I can tell you the more blades a prop has the more lift, if the pitch, length and rpm is the same. But theres also more work involved for the...

    Fpv/recording gimbal

    VTX = video transmitter. It sends the signal from your first person view camera to whatever device your using to see the image, such as a tablet,phone, goggles etc. I once found a list of quadcopter abbreviations online. Try googling one I know theyre out there.

    Newbie Question(s)

    Well Jayne, quads(drones) will def add a whole new dimension to your trade. And I can see a huge demand in the future for aerial photo/videography. Huge. But! You have to be both a drone flyer and a photographer. So in my ppinion (as has been said) get a dji phantom 3. Then practice- alot...

    Best quadcopter under $800

    Ok assuming you dont want to build one, if you can get a phantom 3 in your price range, Id go with that. I never owned one but I know its a solid product. Not even in the same league as a Traxxas aton.

    Fpv/recording gimbal

    I came across this on youtube....... might be right up my alley. . I have a mobius but I didnt know it could this. Theres a 3d mobius gimbal on amazon. All I have to do is figure out how to bring this all together. Apparently the latency is very low but milliseconds are everything in fpv. Just...

    Fpv/recording gimbal

    Ok so heres what Id like to try to do and Id appreciate feedback. I have a Tarot 650. Now without getting into all details of my quad Im just going to say what I have in mind.... Id like to add a camera gimbal,(probably 2d), but I was thinking if also adding a fpv camera to the gimbal along...
