    EPSON Moverio BT-300 Review

    As I recollect, it took quite a while. In addition, I recall that the controller get a GPS fix too.

    EPSON Moverio BT-300 Review

    Due to double vision from paralysis of one of my eye alignment muscles from a blowout fracture of my right eye socket many years ago, the Moverio image I see doubles when I try to look at the lower parts of the "screen". I took the empty plastic frame that came with my Drone/FPV package to my...

    I Think I've Officially Maxed Out On Accessories!

    While I've not needed it (yet), my Marco Polo locator and State Farm insurance makes me feel better.

    EPSON Moverio BT-300 Review

    After living with BT-300's for about 4 months, I have a few observations to share: I got them last winter when EVERYTHING here was covered with snow, and it was impossible for me to see anything useful on the screen of my 8" Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 with the sun reflecting off the snow into my eyes...

    EPSON Moverio BT-300 Review

    I ordered my BT-300's FPV/Drone edition (Amazon Prime) on 28 April. They arrived USPS on 1 May. The RO sunshades were included, along with two plastic lenses and an empty frame, presumably to have corrective lenses fitted therein. The earbuds even have several sets of foam adapters. My Etsy...

    Here's the latest response I've received from Epson: Discussion Thread Response Via Email (Mark H) 04/19/2017 10:01 AM Hi John, Epson's attempts to work within the parameters of DJI's App is not resulting in anything better than a work around. We are developing our own App for the BT-300, but...

    Epson BT-300 Drone Edition

    Epson just emailed me that the BT-300A Drone edition is back in stock. I'm holding off ordering until the map glitch is corrected. I've emailed Epson support inquiring whether it's been fixed. If anybody gets a new one, I'd appreciate hearing whether the maps work in the USA. If I get a...

    Epson BT-300 Drone Edition

    Thanks A LOT for the info and update. I'm glad I held off spending $800 on something that didn't work. I suspect that's why Epson's site lists the Drone Edition as being out of stock rather than deal with unhappy customers. Since DJI is presumably working on their own FPV goggle, which looks...

    So much glare, I can't see the screen...

    See my other post under "Flying my Mavic is distressing on its own........."

    Flying the MV is distressing on its own, but not seeing anything on the screen due to the daylight..

    Add me to the list of pilots frustrated by not being able to see the screen on my tablet in bright sunshine, made worse by the brilliant snowpack that's still here. In an attempt to see something, I made the hood shown in the attached photos out of some cheap Walmart felt fabric, some Coroplast...

    EPSON Moverio BT-300 Review

    Epson's website says the FPV/drone package is out of stock. It's apparently still available on Amazon. In addition to the lukewarm review on Amazon, it looks like the system isn't quite ready for prime time from users' experience on this forum. I guess I'll continue to struggle with being able...

    Viewing flight data in Assistant 2

    I'm trying to review my flight data with Assistant 2. My Mavic connect OK. I've updated the firmware without any problems, but I get nothing but blank screens when I try to view my flight data. My Win 10 Device Manager tells me: Device USB\VID_2CA3&PID_001F&MI_04\6&30171864&0&0004 requires...
