    Advice Needed

    Hello all! I have been tasked by my boss to find a good drone for our business. I have flown some cheap sport drones in the past, but have little to no knowledge when it comes to photography drones. All we need is something that can fly up to 100' maximum and take a picture of something on...

    DIY $42 FPV Goggles for RC Quadcopters

    Very clever! I'm a bit budget-constrained, and I think I might have to give this method a try. Thanks for the info!!

    Well did you fly today post videos here

    Ordered an FPV camera for my Syma X5SC, so until it arrives I've been practicing indoor flight. Still got a lot of practice to do before I become truly competent! I think I could best be described as a novice pilot at this point, but heck, I've been enjoying it! As a side note, my Syma can...

    Please teach me X5SW-1 help im new

    I've got a Syma X5SC and my goal since I've had it (since X-Mas or so) is to fly it around indoors without bumping anything. I'm getting close! I can get around the house without bumping the sides of the doorways or anything (usually... :p ) It has bumped into many many different things...

    Cheap, yet good FPV setups to get you started

    Hi, What exactly do figures like 52" mean in regards to headsets? Clearly there's not a 52" screen inside there... Should the defining factor not be screen resolution?

    Supposing you got a dozen of these per truck, and a bunch of deliveries in an apartment complex. Much quicker than one guy running around to each door. But, I imagine for most cases, it's more hassle than its worth. But, for certain scenarios, it could be very helpful.

    JJRC H6C 2.4G RTF Quadcopter 4CH 6 Axis Gyro RC Helicopter RC Drone with HD 2MP Camera Charging

    I'm happy when I get more than 5 minutes out of mine. 13 minutes sounds awesome! If you really need more, then you're gonna need a more expensive quadcopter, likely something from DJI. I believe the longest flight time I've seen is in the 20 minute range, but these are NOT "toy" grade like...

    #DRONEON | The Wedge at Sunrise | Phantom 4 4K Video

    Nice! I live 5 minutes up the road from the Wedge (well, unless there's summer traffic on the peninsula...) and have wanted to see it from the air! Have you done any runs over the harbor? I'd love to see any footage if you have :D

    What first drone to buy

    I just recently got my first multirotor, a Syma X5SC. One sale it only cost me $30 or so. It definitely gets heavily affected by wind, and flight time is approx 6 - 7 minutes (from personal experience). However, I've crashed it into basically everything possible and have yet to need to...
