I have been looking for a way to mount my Nexus 7 on the TX, but haven't come up with anything for sure. RAM makes 1" ball mounts with 1/4-20 either male and female threads. I was wondering if I could replace the lanyard stud with one of those? Any o

I have noticed upon touchdown of the craft I hear to a greater or lesser degree a revving up of the
motors before idling down. I have gone to minimum throttle at 6" above ground and this still occurs.

I would like some feedback on my method for installing an Immersionrc 600mw 5.8GHz VTX on my Iris.

Does anyone have a recommendation for a 3-axis gimbal for an Iris+?
The only option I have found out there is the DYS 3 Axis. Are there any others that work with a GoPro Hero 4 Black?

After rigging my TX to hold both a black pearl (for FPV) and a smartphone (for Droid Planner), I think what makes more sense is to use a tripod. My intention is to:

Has anybody inserted MinimOSD on an IRIS+?
Hey guys, really new here. I soldered on my connections to the 4in1 esc so that I can power my fpv transmitter and not use my gimbal power. I say that because I am no stranger to opening this sucker up. Has anyone with more experience inserted a Mini

Telemetry Link
During my first few flights I noticed that I would lose telemetry on the radio when the aircraft was around 100ft in elevation and I was standing, not quite underneath, but in close proximity.
