About Me:

I have fun.


Please tell us a bit about your UAV interest

Started with RC stuff when I was a kid, got back into it with the Phantom v1. Since then I've built a couple of my own and I have a 3dr iris on it's way to me.

"Without the gimbal and without fpv gear.  Just a gopro on the front with the waterproof shell on.  Which, btw, is causing 'center of gravity problems' that result in bad altitude hold in Loiter and Alt hold, making it impossible to fpv anyway.   "

"Well you guested I had a camera on the front so, I'm hoping you're right.

Please let me know if you find out more.

Thank you!"

I bought the Iris as a durable platform for FPV but with my first few flights I have a problem that makes it un-useable for FPV.In Loiter mode, with the left stick at 1/2 throttle, any forward movement beyond a slow crawl causes the iris to gain…

"The zippy 5000mah is a little tight and a little heavy, but it works and gives decent times.  Granted you have to install your own xt60's, but you can also buy 3 for the price of the Thunderpower."

"Someone needs to model and 3d print a new battery door with a holder for an FPV transmitter.  Anyone?"

"Not sure about the weight, but I've been right around 15 minutes with a gopro.  They're only $20 bucks now at HobbyKing

"Just FYI, I got 16 minutes in the air with my gopro, on the zippy 3s 5000mah.  I think it's only $50 bucks."

"I received the arm but not the black plastic case that holds the actual gopro as pictured on the 3DR Iris web page.  am I missing something?"

Beau replied to RC's discussion Best FPV and mounts for IRIS? in IRIS
"I've been trying to find where to get the black gopro mount pictured in most of 3dr's photography.  I thought it would come with the Iris but apparently not. The standard case the gopro comes with doesn't allow for access to fpv port on the side. …"
