You have the weights mixed up for the Marco Polo Tracker. The Marco Polo tag ‘s stock configuration (includes battery and enclosure) weighs only 1.6 oz (46 g ). Without the enclosure, the tag electronics and battery weigh .8 oz (22.7 g). The hand held locator is what weights 220 grams not the...

Over water and a deliberate loss of signal. You got some "huevos rancheros" there for sure! Nice video

Seems to me that Jason from DJI has won the Microsoft Award for giving a perfectly correct answer, yet a totally useless answer! It does at least show a glimmer of hope that they understand what the problem is. Then again maybe I'm missing something here. Has anyone ever heard of a place to...

The National Association of REALTORS, America's largest trade association for Realtors just tweeted this to all 126,000 of its follows REALTORS® (@REALTORS) 4/17/14 10:50 AM Why you shouldn't use drones for your real estate business yet -- the straight scoop (and busted myths) from the FAA...

Charging battery cause of weekend house fire A lithium-ion battery that was in the process of being charged caused a house fire at 843 E. Palo Verde St. over the weekend. According to Yuma Fire Department spokesman Mike Erfert, firefighters responded to the home at about 11 a.m. Saturday...

So after some digging I'm starting to think this dealer is getting the Phantom Zenmuse and the S800 Zenmuse mixed up. The Zenmuse Z-15 for the S800 has adjustments on all axis's the Phantom H3-2D does not. So I stripped down the Phantom tonight and shipping off my tilting gimbal to DJI to see...

There is another thread about this problem but hard to tell from the subject line so here's what I posted. I'm having the exact same problem..... Yes I know I left the darn lens cover on for that photo.... I just forgot to remove it for the pic. I do not fly with the lens cover on and have...

Well you got me on that one, I thought there was still a GCU even with the upgrade kit and that the kit just eliminated the PMU but I guess I was wrong. Unfortunately I do not have the upgrade kit, but I'm sure someone else will know that answer. For me I have to connect directly to the GCU...

I had the same problem and found that the Zenmuse H3 2D Assistant program was very picky about the exact type of USB cable I used. Luckily I had several of these cables laying around and after going through about 4 different ones I was able to find one that connected. Not sure what was...

I'm having the exact same problem..... Yes I know I left the darn lens cover on for that photo.... I just forgot to remove it for the pic. I do not fly with the lens cover on and have not added anything to the GoPro per the H3 2D Owners Manual. The mounts are solid and level, I even took...

Hi Don, I have the Predator V2 and love it! Sure helps with orientation issues when you fly not to mention the fun factor! I've not tried the Attitude but in my opinion the Predator works just fine for my needs, hard to imagine really needing something with better resolution, the Predator is...

Since both of these devices use Bluetooth is there a risk of interference to the flight controls of the Phantom? DJI has warned about using the Bluetooth on the Hero3 that it might interfere with flight controls. I'm no expert on Bluetooth but got me wondering? Anyone with more experience...

They didn't use a Phantom but still a cool video with some great aerial footage. Sometimes a bit on it on the cheezy side with the staged plugs for Ford. Still I always enjoy a well produced and filmed commercial. Main Commercial http://youtu.be/Y9QVdw5ujrQ Behind the Scenes...

Thanks everyone for the comments! This story was almost too embarrassing to post but I've learned so much from forums like this I felt it was a chance to give back and have others learn from my boneheaded mistakes. I also wanted to show that if I had not found my Phantom and been able to view...

Here's the recovered footage of how I lost and then found my DJI Phantom Quadcopter. The onboard GoPro Hero3 kept recording throughout the flight, the landing and then shows the mischievous visitors my Phantom had all while I was endlessly searching the surrounding fields. This was 100% pilot...
