Ditto on the avoid the Walkera 110. I posted this in the Mavic forum about a year ago: "Walkera Rodeo 110 RTF drone. Present cost about $180 on Amazon. I loved it and it's a lot of kit for the price, but, I wouldn't recommend this either. After about 4 months of beating the living daylights...

I started with a set of Eachine knock off box goggles (Virchuck). They have two antennas but no diversity. The image was fine, the usb power port broke (but I hacked together a work around) and I still let other people use them for "ride alongs". I bit the bullet and bought a set of Fatshark...

Unless you have been flying your freestyle quad for the past 3 months and and you try to make your Mavic go faster by instinctively laying into the left stick. I was wondering why it wasn't speeding up but the houses were looking smaller and smaller....... oops Peter T

I was SO impressed with my Mavic Pro when I got it. Now I am on the same timetable as you. My $1000+ drone sits in my basement waiting forever for me to take it out and play, and my $150 Leader 3 gets beat on pretty much every day that it isn't raining. My Mavic is unbelievable for taking...

Although I learned acro on my Rodeo 110 I feel that my current Leader 3SE is a MUCH better drone. My problems with the Rodeo 110/Devo 7 are as follows: The Devo 7 is not a "bad" remote, BUT, you can only use it with other Walkera products, it takes 8 batteries and eats them pretty quick, and...

I knew that. I was just testing the group for their response time. You came in first and are to be commended. (oops......next time I will read the WHOLE post before I chime in, sorry.) I am glad that he is getting the receiver, and, I do share some of the concerns of the group regarding this...

Do you have a receiver for the Diatone? I believe that it's plug and play and you will need one.

The goggle dilemma...... Realize that I haven't owned either the EV100's or the EV800's, but, I don't recommend the EV100's. There are numerous "not so great" reviews of them, with many that don't like the minuscule field of view (FOV). I wouldn't recommend them for another reason. They don't...

Hey Roadking! Glad that you're having fun! Reading through these posts I had a couple of thoughts: I know everyone says not to fly in stabilized mode, BUT, indoors, I fly in stabilized mode most of the time, and outdoors I am in air/acro mode all the time. I will switch to air mode inside...

The move at about 51 seconds in was beautiful

I have a Mac (2011 MacBook Pro running El Capitan) and I have made Freerider work with my Walkera TX (Devo 7) and my two day old Taranis QX. You have probably tried the following, but, in case you haven't: Turn on your TX, then plug the cables in, THEN turn on Freerider. If Freerider is running...

+1 on the Solder sucker, the wick, and practicing on old components (I get old computers from the local transfer station and pull stuff off them for practice. It is also a great source for lengths of wire, fans, weird connectors, etc.) . I flux the wick before I use it, but I prefer the sucker...
