"I've just released v2.2.
This is a bigger update than just switching to use 3DR services.
It adds a Cardboard / VR mode, which even includes head tracking control of the gimbal.
I've also added support for DJI drones via their new SDK, so it…"
"In fact the price and size means I just got a Phantom 3 Pro...
The range, flight times and video feed are great.
Stability with the ultrasonics and optical flow seems good.
As there is an SDK I am updating my DronePro app to support DJI drones as…"
"Actually regardless of what you are comparing, the Solo is too expensive for me...
Especially once we get the $ = £ conversion here in the UK.
DJI has the same problem with closed batteries but at least the Phantom 3 Professional with a 4K 3 axis…"
"I've just uploaded a beta which is mainly to switch to using the 3DR Services.
3DR Services don't support console messages yet, and I've been having problems with fail safe notifications, so it will stay as a beta for a while until these are…"
"Part of the video was done on a Nexus 9 which had both front and rear cameras, so that isn't an issue. I've been using Android 4.4 and 5.0 so recent Android builds are OK.
What can be a problem is the current requirements for two USB devices. My…"
"@Bill Bonney - no combat mode, only co-pilot for sharing flying via ARDrone Combat.
@Rana - you need to be actually connected to the GoPro wifi and have set the GoPro password. Also you need to make sure you have chosen GoPro video stream and that…"
"For example, this video was done with the GoPro wifi on, and the drone set to RTL if RC connection is lost...which it didn't, completing the route I had pre-planned to film the stone row and circle.
So while it might be a risk, it isn't the…"
"As I said, controlling via the telemetry means that the GoPro WiFi is not the same frequency band...
In fact in the testing close in I've done (up to 50m) the RC controller hasn't been affected either. After all the RC controller does work via…"
"While it could be an issue at long range, the GoPro WiFi range is only something like 100m, so I've been using it for close up flying so I can see what I am recording. But to be fair 3DR do warn against having the WiFi on, which is why I also did…"
"Seems fine as long as you set the 3DR Radio Low Latency.
I do suffer from pretty poor range in the UK with the standard 433 MHz antennas, so got some larger ones for the Y6 and ground which made a big difference."
I have just released the first version of DronePro for Android priced at $5 in the Play Store.It is ground control software designed to allow gamepad control of 3DR Pixhawk based drones (tested with Iris / Iris+ and Y6B).It has full control of…
