About Me:
Newbie in the multirotor hobby, still learning and trying to make the right decisions
Please tell us a bit about your UAV interest
Working with the industry leader for electronics design software enables me to work closely with the big guys in the mil/aero/defense and UAV market. Studies and direct engagements with these customers brought me ever closer to the hobby, which I now plan to expand

"I would add the gimbal if not attached, the camera (gopro or so) with housing
Possibly a space for a power-pack for the tablet, USB cables, extra batteries for the TX, if your charger is 12v in then the power supply"

"I replaced nuts and washers with nuts that have the washer attached (like this):
I bought them at ACE Hardware and and had some good success so far.
In addition it does not hurt to add some removable threadlock such as LOCTITE® THREADLOCKER BLUE…"

"I guess you do not. But I did anyway as I reloaded default parameters and I wanted to be on the safe side.
Re-doing it should not lead to an unresponsive radio."

I am not sure what happened, but maybe someone can point me to the error I made:After upgrading the firmware to 3.1.5 I went through the recalibration process, loaded the Iris with Front GoPro sessings and did the accelerometer calibration. The…
"oh boy.. I was thinking about using four vacuum cleaner motors and a 12V inverter, then reverse the AC polarity and create thrust instead of suction... but I realized that I have a thermal problem getting the heat away from these motors at 15k rpm…"

With the acquisition, each shareholder will get a free fools hat. :-)"

Greetings,I got my Iris about 4 weeks ago and the weather does not cooperate. So I have only a few flight hours thus far.Since the last flight the Iris does not recognize the full batteries any more:I got two original batteries. They are both fully…
"I love the cases you and 3DR are selling. But let me ask you: aren't LiPo batteries only allowed as carry on luggage on planes?
Wouldn't it be better in this case to have a case that is more flat, for instance by detaching the long legs and reducing…"

"Did you or anybody else come to a conclusion on the FPV for the Iris?
I understand that the 2.4GHz Wifi on the GoPro will interfere with the RC, and an FPV is not available for the Iris off the shelf.
