About Me:

I love multirotors, and most anything that fly's I love new technology, but what I hate most is a company that deceives or tries to avoid letting people know of the problems they are having. Sometimes it is a chance you take when you make purchases and you can only hope what is told is the truth. For me every dollar matters so I want to place it on the right product!


Please tell us a bit about your UAV interest

I love my Phantoms and using them with the Ground Station Software. I can send my Phantom 2 out with 3 axis gimbal, my Gopro and have almost 20 minutes on wonderful flight. I once had an IRIS but so many problems I had to give it up!

I noticed there were 4 country options under the Advanced settings relating to the TX power. Does anyone know which offers the highest? and what each country is?

There have been so many discussions on using filters while filming from your Multi-rotors.   I too have had issues with my videos turning out bad from the bright sun or the suns reflection when flying over water.  The colors and detail get washed…
