    Signal Loss

    Really appreciate your comments and validation, I posted the original to help the New Drone Pilots and those pilots who have never flown in a forest. There are many pilots out west who do not have tall pines and trees to contend with. I hope that others will learn from us old timers when it...

    Signal Loss

    Your doing exactly what you should be doing if you keep your Drone by Line of Sight. It is a problem if you let the Drone drop down below the canopy line, so just stay above the top of the pines of trees. You should be good to go.

    Signal Loss

    Thanks for the VAlidation of my post. As you know, a small minority will call me a LIAR and bust my chops. I was told this about 8 years ago and your absolutely correct in that. Even hardwood tree leaves can interfere. normally, during the Winter Months, this loss of reception is not so bad...

    Signal Loss

    Verizon was planning to install a TOWER within a few hundred yards of my house. The Engineer responsible for site inspection gave me some good info I would like to pass on. I told him that I get no Cell Phone Reception at my house which borders the Ouachita Forest and is my backyard. He told...

    Going to sell my H+ when I get the new one back from Yuneec.

    Keep your Typhoon H and like you, I have had flyaways with DJI drones and flyaways are normally caused by not updating the firmware properly or following standard protocol for flying a specific model drone. I had a Phantom 3 Standard end up in a 100ft of water because I lost communication with...

    OMG best drone ever in the history of the Galaxy!

    DJI was able to fill a NICHE in the model industry. Before they came out with the Phantom 2, most of the commercial drones cost 10 Grand or thereabouts and therefore was out of reach of most people. The only other drones were in the $10.00 to 50.00 range and no camera. Even though the P2...

    Found this on slaughterbots, not good if real

    I too am opposed to using any recreational drone as a weapons platform. But knowing the military as I do, you can forget that naive thinking, that the drones will be used for peaceful pursuits. If there is any way the military can use recreational drones for Search and Destroy missions, they...

    What is causing BRAND NEW H's video to freeze up, normal, freeze up and normal

    Will have to check out the Antenna on the camera as I was not really aware that there was one there. Believe me, I learned the hard way, which meant crashing my P2 HD-3D several times, having to replace things and all that. That experience taught me the importance of Satellites in GPS Mode...

    Found this on slaughterbots, not good if real

    If you were to take all the DRONES in the US, or any country for that matter. Specifically, DJI, Yuneec, and any drone/quad that could carry from one to 16 ounces during flight, then you have a real Quad Force. If these Drones were loaded up with Nitro-Glycerine, and allowed to free fall from...

    What is causing BRAND NEW H's video to freeze up, normal, freeze up and normal

    Thanks John for your response. Has Real Sense and very much aware of the antenne. Learned awhile back not to point the antenna ends directly at my drones as it greatly reduced the transmission signal for the DJI controllers, prefer the mushroom myself. I have not flown it since the video...

    Eliminate Smart Mode

    Smart Mode caused me more problems than I care to admit to when I first tried to fly the H. Of course it was totally my fault for not having read the manual and understanding what Smart Mode was all about. I was used to flying Phantoms. After I found out about the 26 foot rule, I was in 7th...

    Left DJI For Bluer Skies

    I bought my H Pro Package from Best Buy.. Not that it was any cheaper, but I already had a charge account with Best Buy, so went ahead and charged the package to the card. Biggest reason is that you pay "NO INTEREST" on your purchase if you get it paid off within a year of buying it. Best Buy...

    Follow me feature

    One good thing if you could get this to work is being able to keep drivers honest and possibly stop the dirty drivers from winning.

    Follow me feature

    Check out a DJI 4 Quad as it might be what your looking for. The problem with any follow me mode is speed, if the speed of the object surpasses a certain MPH, the the DJI will just sit and hover. But just guessing, it might begin following again after the car comes back around the track, you...

    What is causing BRAND NEW H's video to freeze up, normal, freeze up and normal

    Originally, had problem flying in smart mode until I figured out I was to close to the H. Once I got up it up and flying, no more than 50 meters away at about 15 meters in height, the video began freezing up and ended up having to fly it by line of sight or ATTI mode. Which I am good at. But...
