Does anybody know what the current distance record is for a DJI phantom of any variety? I think that record holder better be looking over his shoulder, because DBS is coming and he's gonna pass that guy like he's standing still. Well, I guess he is kinda standing still but whatever, you know what I...

Quotes I have read say availability Q4 2014, and pricing between $300-$1000. I'm pretty sure the high end of the range would include the SkyController option.

So have any of you Team PV+ guys gotten the ground station software yet? Seems to be right up your alley DBS, supposedly let's you control the copter from an iPad. Looks like it would let you fly way beyond fpv range, and even beyond control range? That would be where you'd need Garrock's hypotheti...

I sell that battery. It's solid. I actually like...

The Blade is great. Fun to fly. But I have been getting into aerial filming and the lack of a gimbal just wasn't cutting it. It's now become my 12-year old daughter's flyer of choice.

Great stuff Jayson!

Congrats DBS! I ended up jumping in the ring on this one too. Was about to pull the trigger on a P2 w/HD-3D setup when they announced this thing. After seeing all the sample videos and reading people's experience with it over the last week or so, I couldn't resist anymore. Mine arrives on Friday. :D...

He did get legs. Not sure he knows what they are or what do with them.

I'm finished playing this individual's games. He's been refunded for the cross.

The LED props were being worked on by Neil from iDrone in the UK. I know he was testing them a while back. I'll see if I can find out where they stand.

I just posted a review of the Drone Mods UAV Locator from a customer. We now have over 100 locator devices in use in the US. It's not the cheapest solution available, but it's by far the most reliable one. 11 successful reported recoveries and not one incident of failing to provide accurate GPS coor...

I wanted to share an unsolicited video review done by a customer who purchased the UAV Locator.

This week we provisioned our 100th device within the US. To date, 11 successful UAV recoveries have been reported to me.
