I did! :). Well, actually I knew that already - but I gave you the thumbs up for mentioning it.

Panavision is the largest (and some would say only) camera rental company in LA. No major studios own their own cameras - so the first call is to the rental house. So when calls come in (and they're sure to come in) for aerial footage to the largest company - and they have officially decided...

Agreed. This is only a spec based assumption. But it seems the draw would be in the 160A range. Have you seen sag with that much headroom? If so, my calls/plans have been thwarted! :)

If my calculations are correct a single battery should provide 240A, no?

I just posted on the Facebook group asking people to share over here if they're willing. Hopefully some folks will chime in with some clips from the H3.

I'm not sure about that. You would think so, but maybe someone will chime in with a more definitive answer.

Do you have the ESC plugged directly into the throttle output channel of your receiver? You may need to try reversing your throttle channel from the state it arrived in. Also, once you are sure that the throttle channel is set correctly within the radio - you may need to use the sub trims to...

Welcome to MRF! You can replace the stock receivers with your Spektrum Rx, and then re-run the servo wires. It takes some modifications, but can be done. You want to be careful when modifying the Phantom because some things are glued down etc. For programming you'll have to go through the...

Are you saying that your ESC went bad from removing the red wire? Which ESC do you have specifically? @fengshuidrone makes a good suggestion about removing all wires except the signal (typically white) from 3 of the ESCs to prevent ground loops and redunadant power being sent to the FC. The...

The gains should not have any effect on the throttle % needed to hoist that rig. Like mentioned already - you really need to figure out the weight issue before you get airborne again. Especially given the value of the payload. Without doing any research or calculations, I'd say the 16" props...

Hope you find a good group to fly with. With 14 fields you should have good choices :)

Welcome to MRF Bio! Not sure I can help you get into space - but if you'd like to hook up with other pilots, you can check out the AMA and see where the local fields are in your area. Bound to be some fellow FPV"ers around. Have fun and fly safe.

Although I'm not a pro APV guy, I have followed along with enthusiasm as some of our own members have paved the way for others and succeeded in taking this hobby to the next level. I found this article interesting, since it seems there can be some pitfalls along the path to obtaining the...

Very nice! Like how you're getting creative with the build. Please keep us updated!

The visit by the pope later this month to the cities of New York, Philly and Washington DC have created a special flying restriction. Please be aware of the additional restricted areas and let's keep the drones out of the Pope's hair for a few days :) Details below: NYC (Within 2nm of La...

A little more detail from the AMA directly... http://amablog.modelaircraft.org/amagov/2015/09/14/ama-responds-to-the-faas-drone-sighting-report/

The AMA is pretty helpful when it comes to all things RC. But I was surprised to see a post they had about building a nice DIY case for protecting/hauling your Phantom. Check it out HERE: http://modelaviation.com/phantombox

Further away from the city will be that much better. Let us know how you make out!

I would suggest heading over and checking. I figure a major city would have more drone operators. Also, keep in mind that many times you may have the field to yourself. I just moved back to Brooklyn from Vermont. Up there I had TWO fields to myself, almost all the time. It was a dream...

While it would have been nice for the retailer to have more info - keep in mind that the FAA guidelines are not actual law yet. Although they should absolutely be followed, the FAA is currently relying on the local law enforcement to take action for any issues. If your local legislature has...
