Hi All,
I have been trying to get my Iris+'s Pixhawk to trigger my Canon S100. I have been following the Tuffwing instructions, but with no success.
BEC is soldered where the TX60 for the battery joins the board. I have KAP 3.6 on the camera, and I ca

I currently live in South Dakota, and the winter weather is not all that conducive to flying. I am seeing a lot of good Solo deals (new and second hand), and I am wondering if I should jump on a deal now (knowing that I can't really fly for t

The copter had a compass error a few weeks ago, and I've just put it back together. An arm needed replacing & the USB port on the exterior (body & PX4...couldn't believe it) is broken. I recalibrated everything & took it out today. It flies

I am getting a Xiaomi Yi camera, and I was wondering it its wifi function would interfere
with the Iris+ like the GoPro wifi is said to.
If so, is there no fix?
Thank you!
Hey all,
Anyone know where I could get an NDVI lens for the SJ5000, or even the Xiomi Yi? I've already tried IR Pro, but it didn't work out.
Read more…I've been very happy with my IRIS+, and it's taught me a lot. I now want to try my hand at a fixed wing, for mapping/modelling purposes. I want something that is fairly DIY, and can carry a decent amount.

Would it not be cheaper to buy the parts separately, from 3DR? Can someone tell me what is pictured here?
Thank-you!
Hey all,
Seems I've fried a battery :(
I have the charger and parallel board shown below. Was planning on charging 3 batteries. Plugged in the first 2 just fine, but plugging in the 3rd got a 'poof!' One of the connectors came off the board, and the

Went out for my 3rd flight today, and could not get DP2 to connect. Constantly got MAVlink error: No devices found. It worked fine yesterday. I was using Mission Planner yesterday to extend the geo-fence to 1000m.
Hi Iris+ people,
So my first flight went well, but I called it quits as I thought the wind was too strong. It was gustin
