Thanks Steve for this very informative video. I am in fact, using Carbon fiber props, which I switched to over a year ago, (because the Yuneec props were prone to breakage easily) but never experienced any issues until a few months ago. I normally fly it back without going to the return to...

Hi Doom Meister, lately, I've been noticing, when I bring my drone down, it seems unsteady and sometimes starts to wobble, looks very menacing, so, bring it down slowly to keep it level. Yesterday, I was flying my Q-500 at an old speedway that has been shut down for a year. its a great place...

Thanks, where is the best site to go to learn the 107 certification?

thanks, I have a photo editing question for you (if you shoot video) I'm just starting to shoot some video for realtors ( always shoot stills). what program do you recommend for editing (I'm using a MAC). I normally shoot my stills in RAW and DNG which gives me the best images. But when I set...

DoomMeister, thank you for responding to this very frustrating issue. After reading some of the discussions in this forum, I found the answer (thank you all). I was trying to bind the drone and the transmitter in the house, and not realizing that the drone needs GPS signal to start. I went...

yesterday I tried to start my 500 4k in a field too close to an airport, and it wouldn't start, it only beeped. I brought it home and tried to start it again, but only got the beep and wouldn't start. I just successfully did a re-bind. the camera fires and tilts up and down, but cant get the...

I would see if others have tried the CF props also. what I do like about the CF props, is that I don't snap them when I am removing and replacing my drone in my car for usage. I do feel that the regular props are very flimsy and break easy. the new props were not very expensive (about $35) from...

Good morning, yes, I swapped the props, but am not quite sure about the performance yet, but think I feel an increase in performance. First, I didn't realize that I had to remove the rubber "o" rings as I couldn't get the CF props to screw down more than a few turns on the shaft. So being a bit...

I experienced that issue of drifting. I landed my drone, and re-did the compass calibration. after that, the drone started to fly more stable. I do notice that with my new Carbon props, (which I only tried once) the drone was more responsive, but looked like it was a little unstable while...

Ever since my Q500 flew away 2 months ago, I now do a Compass calibration on my replacement drone, before each flight. First, I point it north (or true north, what ever my compass on my I-phone tells me), then go through the procedures shown in their web video. I then place it back on the...

thanks, I'll try that on my next shoot. I just purchased some carbon fiber props, for my Q500, as I had them on my 6 motor Tarot 810 drone and they worked well. before I install them, has anyone tried carbon fiber props and if so, what was their experience?

Thanks, one of the issues with shooting in video (as you mentioned) is that many of my clients make large printed brochures from my stills, so I am in need of the largest files I can give them. I used a GoPro hero 3 on my Tarot 810 6 motor drone, and the images were terrible and pixilated...

Ren 57, thanks for that tip. since I am a photographer, and only shooting stills, I normally set my camera to RAW and DNG, and correct in Lightroom. I set my white balance to sunny, but have had issues in locking in the exposure. I am afraid to set the camera while in flight, so I try to set it...
