    smart shot altitude variance

    Well, it was hovering in the same location for a good minute as I was thinking about the shot I wanted to set up. Plus like I said it seemed to be just fine the first 3 runs. Although I do believe the 2nd run it was coming in a little lower but was still around 5-6 ft off the ground.

    smart shot altitude variance

    Yes I was under the impression that altitude is covered by barometric pressure. Is that correct?

    smart shot altitude variance

    Today I was working with cable cam. I had solo about 8 ft off the ground for point A, and took it up to 187 ft for point B. I did a couple tests with it running autonomously, the seemed to be fine, a little off course but as to be expected in light wind and GPS Acuracy and what not. Once I...

    Gimbal strength.

    That I completely agree with. I've found it quite interesting that so many people have contemplated jumping ship so soon after the launch. It just goes to show you how much our society has changed. "Convenience" has taken over. We all want our desires to be granted as swiftly as possible, and...

    Gimbal strength.

    Hey all, So I finally purchased a gimble! One step at a time. Anyway, I'm curious as it's inevitable that a crash will likely happen, those of you who've been through this already with their 3dr; how resilient is it to wrecks? While I'm sure this depends on how hard it crashes, how...

    Gps longevity

    I guess one of the things I think about the most, and granted I don't have a gimbal as if yet; but the one thing that 3dr really touts are the smart shot features. That said while I've been working on my manual flying, I've noticed that gps drops out pretty frequently. I've done the...

    Gps longevity

    Hey all, I'm new to the whole gps discussion and drones. I'm curious though from what I've read, (and please by all means correct and or update me at anytime) it appears that 3dr chose the gps unit in use because it would lock onto only visable US gps satellites, and provide a more...

    Tower app question

    Well that's what I assumed. I can see fro! My location services that tower is requesting location, however nothing happens. Maybe I should try and reinstall the app?

    Tower app question

    My location? Is there a way to find my location within the app, or do I just have to zoom aimlessly? What am I missing here?

    FAA flight restrictions-

    My solo finally arrived! I took some time to do the gps mod with the spacing, too her out yesterday for a little flight testing in a remote area. Working on becoming comfortable with the manual flight, and what not. GPS acquisition was almost instintanious with 12-13 sat lock which I was happy...
