"The arm has some rubber washers on them, but it's gonna take a lot more then that to get this stable. They do offer a ribbon extension cable so you can actually remove the sensor and lens off the body, Maybe I can figure out a more stable way of…"

"Got the Mobius installed, soon as the weather clears up in Chicago, I'll upload some videos.

"Most Injection Molded cases are under $150, and there's cheaper material and soft bag versions too."

"Thanks for the ideas, Joe...
If the tablet didn't already get about 10 hours of battery I would add a power pack, but that just seems redundant, I'd just go plug it in when I plug in the batteries, unless you were just talking about the AC adapter,…"

So I was thinking about using mycasbeuilder.com to build a custom case for traveling(locally) with the IRIS.I'm not sure if I would want to have the IRIS part of the case or not but what would you include for a spot in the case?I came up…

NateMac replied to NateMac's discussion Setting change for larger battery? MultiStar 5200mAh Testing in IRIS
"This was all over the place flying, mostly in Stabilze Mode, throttle all the way down seeing what I could do with it. As far as DroidPlanner, I notice it resets the flight information when I arm and disarm the IRIS. So I landed the quad 2 or 3 time…"

"Was able to get 18:30 out of the MultiStar 5200 after changing the battery capacity in Mission Planner. For $29, I think this might be the way to go."

NateMac replied to John O'Shaughnessy's discussion Need to disconnect/reconnect battery between flights? in IRIS
"I've only been flying for two days, but I've never had to do this to get back into the air, other then a crash.
I did notice though I wasn't holding it long enough down-right to get it rearmed and sometime forgot which direction was the arming…"

"So I forgot to charge the tablet but I did some timed test today.
I made no changes to the software or anything this is stock out of the box IRIS.
Flying almost entirely in Stablize Mode I was able to get just over 10 minutes out of the stock…"

"Can someone fill me in on how the battery measurements work? Is it based on voltage and/or time or something else?
What causes the IRIS to go into low battery mode(make noises and land on its own)?
Where do I go about changing parameters when using…"

"First of all, I love the IRIS I've been a little skeptical all week watching the fedex website getting closer and closer, but first time I got that thing in the air, I was hooked!

...as far as the batteries: performance-wise, I could not see even…"

My IRIS comes tomorrow, so I'm asking this blink. A Quad-newbie. Instead of buying replacement batteries from 3DR I picked up the 5200mAh MultiStar batteries from…
