Welcome from Georgia, I just drove down to West Palm Beach yesterday to spend the next 7 days visiting family. Hit 3 strong rain storms on the way down 75 and the turnpike. My drivers side wiper blade broke off so I have to get a new one today. Luckily I had coated my windshield with Rainex...

I bought my MPP about 6 months ago and yes I still love it for the price point and the high technology it provides. Being an AMA field flyer 90% of the time my only purpose for the expensive camera is FPV flight over the 60 or so acres our club provides. So my prime reasons for choosing the...

Maybe it has a bad battery? I use a new ipad 5 when I fly and it easily lasts me 6-7 hrs of use. I've never noticed it charging from the controller cable. I typically fly 3-4 batteries per session with my Mavic Pro.

Awesome... I was born in the northeast and lived in Connecticut from 1950 until 1980. I'm now retired in Georgia. I recently bought a new Magic Pro Platinum and I'm enjoying flying it at my AMA RC field. Check out the link in my profile. Mike

Nice videos! Thanks for sharing....

Welcome RockyCat, I'm in Middle Georgia, where are you located?

If you're using an FPV device like an iPad or a phone you can record your videos directly to that device or even do a screen record which will show all the Go4 app info around the perimeter like you see in many YouTube videos from drone pilots when they show their flights. For the camera...

It's a good tool for beach patrol but it needs a warning device attached like one of those air horns that can be remotely activated so swimmers can get out of the water when sharks are approaching.
