Or should I splice into the main power usi

I'm very new at flying with Iris, but after I land and move the control stick to the disarm position, I need to disconnect and reconnect the battery to fly again.
Is this common/expected?
Often I'll fly for 3-4 minutes, then need to check s

I'm looking for a relatively inexpensive platform to try out aerial photography. I'm not really interested in building my own drone so there seem to be only two popular options: either one of the DJI Phantoms or the 3DR Iris. I understand that ne

I would like to know how to change the Stabilize Mode settings for more nimble and responsive flight. I'm not planning flips or rolls, just need a little more challenging experience with Stab mode.
Thx.

When the stock failsafe voltage is reached and I recharge, I'm putting way more than 70% back into the battery. Does anyone have a link on how to change the battery failsafe to 3.7V?

I recently purchased a new IRIS. When I received the unit the telemetry antenna was loose and wobbled about freely. I assumed this was designed to give it flexibility and freedom of motion.
I flew the IRIS approximately 3 times before today

I'm relatively new to the world of drones and the 3DR IRIS is my first drone. I can fly it well in stabilize mode, but use loiter mode fairly often when taking aerial video to keep better control. Recently though, loiter mode hasn't been worki
