    Permits in Philippines Manila/Boracay/Isabela/Ilagan needed?

    It could be problematic at the moment, most government offices are partly closed due to covid. Also you will not be able to leave Manila until you have done 14 days of quarantine and you may even need to do 14 days quarantine at what ever city you arrive at.

    Controller vs IPad

    That just what I do, but with Andycine version of the feelworld monitor. Rather than plug into the SC I use a Vaxis atom wireless sender. Works great, you can choose if you have the hdmi out put as camera view or controller mirror view. Makes flying in full sun a pleaser .

    Errors attempt to update to v01.00.0820 SC software.

    When I eventually got mine to up date I noticed the 97-99% is when the update loads the data to the device and at 99% is when it reboots the SC. Don’t know if this will help you.....
