If you want light weight, portability and good video, speed, lots of options, longer flight time, look at a DJI Mavick

Startup order 1. Turn GoPro on (make sure Bluetooth is off-no blinking light). 2. Turn on Solo controller 3. Turn on Solo 4. After Solo and controller are fully booted, connect to Solo Wifi on your device 5. Open Solo app. Note for ipad/iphone users: (Solo app should be completely closed, i.e...

Have 2 now, both seem to work OK, one came with two batteries and charger

OK, total neophyte here, what are these for? I saw pixhawk, but do not know what that is

Depending where you are, as airspace is different, it is likely this is "G" airspace, which means that in theory any light aircraft can fly below the 500ft minimum because it is "Sparsely populated". Of course any sane pilot would not normally fly that low because it limits the time you have due...

Pyrate, that is why I posted the info, so that folks who are trapped in areas with a lot of airfields near them can stay out of trouble ;-) What I failed to mention is that it is going to take some research, to know what the patterns are for the airfields in one's area. There may be other...

I have a pilots license with several ratings, and Dave is right many airfields are non towered, no manager on site, in other words no-one to talk to, besides it is the pilots in the air that need to know where you might have your drone. If you look and see which way the wind is blowing it will...

Received mine, very fast delivery, works fine and whole bunch of new extra stuff with it

I have had a similar problem with my GP4 black when downloading to my older (2010) iMAC and viewing 4k video using quicktime, the video runs for a second then pauses then jumps ahead. Viewing the same video on my newer (2016) 27inch iMAC or my Windows 7 Desktop, or my Windows 10 Laptop, the...

I bought one on ebay, not a refurb, but what I thought was a reasonable deal, just wondering what the freezing issue is and if mine has it?

Technically the drone operator is in violation for flying over people isn't he? FAA requires special dispensation for that if my memory serves right

Like Brianuc4 I just bought mine a month or so ago for $430 and bought another 3 batteries ($100), you have a great deal for someone

Oop's hit the wrong button ;-) Anyway thanks for the help.

Making an interesting migration from real aircraft to unmanned aircraft, finding the flying part relatively east, although have had my first wipe out. Guess I got too cocky and was flying too close about 5ft from a tree and got a gust of wind that plowed it into the Pine tree. Needles to say I...
