About Me:
Love technology and dabble where I can. I am willing to tear almost anything apart to see what makes it go; getting it back together again is another story...
Please tell us a bit about your UAV interest
Been flying drones since August of 2013. First drone was a Phantom 1 and I have added a second drone to my collection, the 3D Robotics Iris with Tarot gimbal. I pay for my addiction... "Ahem" hobby by shooting properties for realtors in my area.

Here is a LINK to the video that I made testing the Stock long legs and my new long legs...Here is my original DISCUSSION where pictures of the new legs can be found.
"OK guys,HERE is the video where I tested the flight times with the stock long legs and with my new legs... "
"I will fly two batteries with the old legs and then two batteries with the new legs to determine how much extra flight time I get."
"No, coat hangers are too thin and bend too easily."
"So after the weigh in, I was able to save right at 50%! I also made a second set to try and close the hook at the bottom.
I bought 1/8" piano wire which is just a high tensile strength steel rod. I drilled a corresponding hole through the…"

After two landings on uneven ground, I've broken two of the long legs and damaged my gimbal and GoPro. I decided to prototype a new landing gear setup that would be more resilient and lighter weight. Here is what I came up with. What do you think?
"Thanks Gary for the reply... Yeah, the fpv is solely for setting up the shots. I still intend to use los for flight.I was planning on stripping any excess sheathing off of the GoPro adapter cable and secure it so that it wouldn't cause any stress…"
Background... I am flying a 3D Robotics Iris with a GoPro Hero 3 Black on a Tarot 2-axis gimbal. I am shooting homes and properties and am wanting to stay in visual sight of my quad while in flight. I have no plans to fly the drone over 300-400…
"In dummy terms, what do i need to do? :)"
"My phone has full internet connectivity both via wifi and 4G. No matter how I zoom in or out I never get a map. GPS is active on the device and I can pull up Google Maps and Google Earth on my device."
"I'm connected to the Internet. I have offline maps enabled too."
Anyone know why I cannot get a detailed map to display on my Droid Razr HD? It shows my progress in flight but no roads, no images of terrain, no google earth...
"Thanks! It works!"
I have two radios for my Iris. One for my laptop and one for my tablet. Only one will every connect. How do I pair the other one to my Iris?
Hey everyone!My Iris died a couple of weeks ago due to a motor ejecting. Video of that can be found HERE. After talking with the awesome techs at 3DR, they sent me a new Iris! The customer service was very good and I am glad to be back in the…
"So after THIS happened, I contacted 3D Robotics and I have to say that they were great to work with! They have really helped me out with my Iris... Thank you guys at 3DR!"
