Very good to know and I hear with certain antennas you can use the mountains at your back to put up more gain, i.e. patch and panel antennas. Yes I agree and I always setup based on what my cleanest shot is and honestly I try to fly the beam as much as possible. I setup my shots, video and...

A DJI F450 clone that was flipped upside down with some yellow foam balls added? Nope, haven't tried that one :)

Ok, good to know because my thoughts were that a 910mhz antenna, advertised as tuned for that frequency, would only be 910mhz. Channel 4 for me works best, 1010mhz so I guess that's what I'll use. I still haven't decided on what kind of antenna I'm going to get but I'll probably end up with that...

Wow, that is some amazing flying. I hope I can fly like that one of these days :) Very good signal, yes with the tracker adds a whole new world of range and clarity. I want to go as mobile as possible e.g., backpack in somewhere and shoot some video. I'm not digging dragging all this gear around...

So with those 2 antennas and the diversity controller you should cover a good 180 degrees of horizontal sky and probably what 70 degrees vertical? Those should also benefit being closer to the ground as they are essentially "patch" panels and should work the best by being around 5-7 inches from...

Omni as in omni-directional rubber duck whip style antenna (http://hobbywireless.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=73_74&products_id=45). I was thinking about a bi-quad or cosshairs but they seem pretty flimsy and being in a backpack might damage them, no? Also, do bi-quads and...

I have a diversity controller so it selects the best signal. My 5dbi omni antenna is all I had before and I added the Yagi and that really, really cleared things up I just was not getting the range I was expecting. Now I want to change it up a bit and become more mobile. I was thinking of doing...

Copy it and I'll buy the first one :) I'll probably end up getting one of those and replacing my DJI F550 knock off frame I got from China lol

Go ahead and copy it, I doubt a single American will complain and they'll probably buy from you since it's made in America :) Yeah, they had a limited run on them and now they are sold out it seems. The price before was even cheaper at around $160. Let me know what you end up getting or building...

There are tons of options out there my friend but personally I have my eyes on this one. It's a Hexacopter that folds and it's almost all carbon fiber but still fairly inexpensive. Let me know what you think... Tarot FY680 C/F Folding Hexacopter...

I want to become more mobile and do the whole backpack thing. I was thinking of getting this patch antenna in place of my Yagi antenna. Thoughts? Anything I should know? Thanks! http://hobbywireless.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=73_74&products_id=9

I went out flying yesterday and set my channel to 3 (1010mhz) on a supposed 910mhz setup (Yagi 12dbi and Omni 5dbi) and it was crystal clear for as far as I could go. I guess when I got away from the city the interference went away and the problem was gone. Now I'm wondering why my 910mhz...

Check these out, this is from yesterday from Amelia Island and Little Talbot Island.

LOL! I guess so, I've gone maybe 40mph or so. I dont have an OSD yet but just looking at traffic I've probably done at least that. What is that that you are flying? I see you have some ZII flying wings, how do you like those? I'm going to start building a long range flying vehicle but I'm stuck...

Yeah I guess a CP antenna is out of the question then. What about a Vee antenna? It would be hard to mount and orient on a Hexacopter but I could get it done, would that help? Also, I went back and did some research. I'm running my video on channel 4 which is 1040Mhz and my antennas say they are...

Anyone?

Dang! You are really moving there! I'm used to hexacopters and we don't get to go that fast unless we are falling... :)

Personally I dont like wide angle lenses for flying but I do for recording. I use 2 separate cameras, Go Pro knock off for recording and a 650TVL camera for flying. Wide angle lenses make "objects in your lens look closer than they appear" if you remember reading that on your car mirrors. They...

Here's my 6th flight ever! So far that's all I've ever done. I'm getting better but I'm no juz70 yet :)

Ok I see what the problem probably is. You are using the slo-fly props which are total garbage unless they are used on very small multicopter. If you have something like a DJI 450 or bigger you'll want to use real propellers. When I said I use APC knock offs I meant similar to real APC...
