As a private pilot, I have to log my flight time. Before I got my IRIS, I made a determination to make a separate logbook for flying the IRIS or any other drone. For someone who wants to perhaps earn some income from drone flight somehow (however i

In the learning phase, I have been going through a couple of sets of props. I have heard some people say that they don't like the props that come with the IRIS, but I like them because they are cheap. 3DRobotics sells the Push/Pull (2 prop) se

All I can say about this Tarot gimbal on the IRIS is that it is amazingly steady. I had the IRIS in some 5-8MPH gusts and had to work it to keep it above the treeline where the wind caught it, and the video turned out really nice and steady. I

1) If the ground station (mission planner running on a laptop) bluescreens during a mission will the Iris continue completing the mission?
2) Has anyone tried adding algorithms to keep flying after the loss of a prop?
