Might be worth reaching out to those guys and seeing if they know of anyone selling smaller batteries or if they can get some in stock for you.

What about Amazon?

This morning, the forum was down for about 3.5 hours due to a DNS issue. It took a long time to resolve, but everything should be running smooth now. Sorry for the inconvenience! And please message me or reply to this thread if you notice any further issues. Thanks! Mike

Merry Christmas to those who celebrate, and happy holidays to the rest! Hopefully you got everything you asked Santa (or whoever) for this year! Mike

That's one nice buggy! RC really knows how to drain your bank account though :)

It was late 2011. I had a few toy RC cars as a kid, but could never really afford to get into the hobby seriously back then. Through my teen years, I got into computers, so that filled my time. If I had the time now, I'd probably expand beyond multi-rotors and start messing around with...

Welcome to the board! It's always interesting to hear exactly how people got hooked. It's usually a very similar story, but it never gets old. It brings me back each time. I started because my buddy got each of his close friends a cheap syma helicopter for Christmas. I flew it every time...

https://oscarliang.com/eachine-e010-mods-1/ Not sure if it does any good, but some people cut their props on their micro quads. I just stick w/ four blades =)

No problem!

No experience with the 4 or Mavic, but DJI typically raises the bar significantly with every release and when they implement new features, they typically do a great job (as opposed to just adding it to be able to list it as a feature). But it depends on what kind of buyer you are. If you're...

A few years ago, buying something else and using your GoPro would have saved you money, but everything is so integrated with the Phantom 3 Pro out of the box that you'll still get the best package in your price range by going with the Phantom. $799 is a steal for all of the features. There...

Welcome to the forum!

When you say switchblade, do you mean 1 blade or two? What size quad are you looking for? The micro inductrix or the eachine e010 are often modded by cutting two of the four blades off. some people say it helps performance. You could buy a pair of e010's for around $30 total from eachine and...

$7-800 is a very good budget these days. Reliability will be much better with more commercial products than a DIY or something built by a smaller operation (usually) since they have a lot of R&D + more uniform manufacturing processes. Assuming that you don't already have any other RC gear, I'd...

Do you have a balance charger? If so, when you charge/balance it, does it charge and balance to the same voltage? If so, you should be good. The cells don't typically discharge perfectly evenly. As far as low voltage goes, most people seem to go 3.5v per cell (and land from there) to be on...

I've ordered several times from banggood with no issues and the shipping from their china warehouse hasn't been all that bad. I always spring the extra dollar or two for shipping insurance. I haven't had to use it, but I assume it will help eliminate some of the hassle if I do have a bad...

That does make sense. Once you start losing voltage with the heavier batteries, things probably get a lot more sluggish than with the smaller batteries. Nice on the FPV setup. I just finally gave in and ordered something with a DVR, so I'm pretty excited.

I think the biggest question is - what are you looking to spend? The second question is - are you expecting to fly FPV (First Person View) where you are navigating from what the camera is seeing? Or would you rather set a course via GPS and have your quad fly the "mission" around the property...
