    Gimbal Protectors

    Anyone else as disappointed in the lack of quality with the gimbal protectors? I know these are going to last about 5 minutes. Has anyone seen any aftermarket gimbal locks/lense covers yet? I get nothing on a Google search.

    Crowd Sourced business models (Dronebase/Droners.io)

    OPINION/RANT: So I am finding myself a bit put off by these Uber for drones businesses like Dronebase and the new Droners.io (powered by PrecisionHawk). While I have been on 20 Dronebase missions (real estate/insurance) earning $1735 over 8 months and 2 Droners.io insurance missions earning...

    DGI Goggles vs Epson Moverio BT-300

    $800 is steep. I normally wouldn't pay that much for these...they are worth half that IMO BUT for what they allow me to do they will pay for themselves in a short time. They do take some getting used to. Good luck!

    FAA Regulations on FPV?

    I didn't mean it to come across that way. You of course can groan about anything you wish to. I was just sharing my perspective and why I feel that way. Groan on brother, groan on. Also I was responding to SteelFlyer's post, not you directly :)

    DGI Goggles vs Epson Moverio BT-300

    Nice! I keep telling myself I need to get a 3D printer. I've opted for the velcro route for now. I'll second the comment that the image in the BT-300's is very good for maintaining compostion etc. The sun can get a bit too bright depending on it's angle and where you are standing, I find that...

    FAA Regulations on FPV?

    I'm not groaning because I am a STRONG advocate for following the rules. They are in place for everyones safety and not following the rules just screws everyone over BUT I don't agree with your interpretation on VLOS. I fly commercially and from that perspective the ONLY reason you fly is to...

    DGI Goggles vs Epson Moverio BT-300

    Loving my BT-300's so far. They do have a few quirks. I went with Velcro for mounting as those mounts that come with them are just comical. The nose bridge needs some adjustment for me as it slides down on a hot day. The real PITA is that the BT-300 android interface draws power from which ever...

    DGI Goggles vs Epson Moverio BT-300

    After updating the BT-300s last night I finally got a chance to take a 20 minute flight with them this morning. All I can say is my initial impression is that they kick ***. I can see the screen AND maintain VLOS easily. I just don't get how anyone cannot love these but I guess everyone is...

    FAA Regulations on FPV?

    You can find the courts decision on the FAA's website here Unmanned Aircraft Systems The courts decision only pertains to registration, not safety.

    FAA Regulations on FPV?

    I've recently thrown my hat so to speak in the FPVish ring. I had pre-ordered a pair of DJI goggles then realized that per the FAA anyone flying a UAS for fun or work must maintain the aircraft in thier visual line of sight. So now I have ordered a pair of the Epson Moverio BT-300 "augmented"...
