The Drone Thread

[darylloh]

Oh, all DJI drones are using same APP, DJI GO so the simulator exist for all DJI Drones, I just check on Youtube to verify.

Yes, Phantom 3 is not as portable as Spark but for a start, it should be good for a bigger device as Phantom 3 has 3 axis for video stability compared to Spark with only 2 Axis.

Eventually, I will upgrade to Mavic Pro if I want a better and portable Drone.

Anyone want to fly the drone together, need some assistance and guidance from fellow Seniors here too!

wow, Mavic. I'm just exploring, Hopefully, can venture can get Spark or Mavic. Saw reviews comparison, Mavic is more for people who wanted better aerial photo and videography?

Shld be. got 4k.
When i got my mavic, spark not even in the news yet. Anyway, no regrets.

Intend to mount a samsung gear 360 under the belly, then can view the 360 video in VR.

Is this a casual outing? why must register?

 

[Ghost^recon]

oic, thanks.
The drone costs abt $120. So practically for me is to exchange $420 for that drone, if not, $500 credit also no use for me.
Then can let my kids play with it.

Any review from U on the course & the drone?

Review of this drone not very gd. range is poor (from one of the youtube reviews); with RC = 75ft, with phone = 100ft. But Gd enough for fun.

i thought usually with controller the range is farther than using hp...? how come this one opposite..?

 

[Ghost^recon]

The youtuber suspects due to video streaming to the phone & rc frq interfering. I also duno. I only watched 2 reviews in youtube. The other review nothing much. He flew very near, lazy fellow, just sat there in the shelter.

It's a casual outing with no strings attached. Registration from what I understand is to add us into their mailing list for future FlyDays which is usually monthly

Hi, Guys,

I'm new here, and had been playing with drones for >1/2 yr...

Some questions on drones:
1) GPS problems
Anybody having GPS reception problems outdoor?
I tried flying Hubsan H501S and H507A at TeckWhye football field but there is some GPS reception problem.

2) FPV
Anybody flying FPV or video-piloting?
I'm thinking of learning FPV flying but worrying of air-sickness and nausea

btw, anyone wants to fly drones together around Choa Chu Kang please pm me
and I had uploaded my few videos of drone onto youtube, you can check at my forum home page URL.
