Drone has been sold! Thank you for your replies.

Let's try this again at 1200. Bueller? Bueller?

Yes. It's the FPVLR Stage 2 kit.

Bumpity bump bump

Any takers at 1400?

Suddenly came up against some restrictions in my flying area, so my quad has been rendered useless for me. I'm looking for 1600 bucks.... and here's the breakdown of what I paid. Phantom 2 Vision+ 1 extra battery: $1369 brand new from DJI 2 extra batteries @ 129 per: $258 Extra charging cable...

Hey Larry... do you have LOS on the drone when you lose connection?

Excellent advice guys. Thanks very much. Gonna try that out tomorrow!

I think the chokepoint would be chargers. If you had 4 batteries and 4 chargers, then you'd probably be able to stay in the air indefinitely. And those "expensive" multi port chargers aren't worth the money. You can get the same thing on eBay for 7 bucks... And the 7 dollar one isn't worth it...

I have 2. I ordered 2 more. I also ordered a second charger. When I'm in my truck I have a 2 outlet inverter I use to charge 2 batteries at the same time. When I don't have my truck, I do have access to A/C power in the field, so far. This is the way my theory works on batteries: Battery #1 is...

Re: Anybody with P2V+ getting more than ~1,100 feet distance Because I'm super excited... I wanted to share that I hit the 5,000 foot limit on my drone today. =D Not a single mod installed on either the drone or Tx. Edit: I lied. I did do the aluminum tape mod for GPS. =D

*ahem* Insulating

Just don't have any loose, light objects around. I took mine to work to play with it outside one day, and I was talked into flying it inside in one of the large conference rooms. 30 seconds later and there were papers and napkins all over the room. LoL

Also, what are you guys using for post? For my images I stick to Picasa since it is really the lazy man's easy button to photo editing. But I don't know the first thing about video editing.
