Ryan Tong and I had a good time today checking out the latest prototype of the Avegant Glyph, using it as FPV goggles while flying the DJI Inspire 1. It is a brilliant display, and is shaping up to be a great product for its intended audience. I was one of the original Glyph Kickstarter ...

Best FPV experience I’ve ever had—looking at the back of my head w/Avegant Glyph (functional prototype) while flying the DJI Inspire 1 w/built-in Lightbridge. We plugged the Glyph into the Inspire 1 radio’s HDMI out, and it just worked.

I’ll bet that a good number of my (male) friends have been spending their Thanksgiving family time playing computer games. Among them are successful CEOs and VC partners… but there is something about late evenings during family holidays that brings us all back to simpler times. After all of my family went to sleep, I spent ...

Removing the case of a Skyzone TS58500 5.8Ghz video Tx for FPV

A bunch of my flying buddies, including great FPV pilots like CHARPU and BayAreaCrasher, use the Skyzone TS58500 500mW video transmitter. I purchased a couple of them from GetFPV, but when I received them, they were encased in a metal housing. So instead of getting what the product looks like on the left (from the ...

I have been way too busy over the past two months to do any non-imaging, non-press-briefing flying. This week, I plan to get some FPV practicing in while visiting family in San Diego for Thanksgiving. I brought the 3-D printed Hovership MHQ2 (http://shop.hovership.com/hovership-mhq2/) with me, and plan to crash a lot while exploring rate mode. ...

Carlos (Charpu) has really incredible skills with his QAV250. (Source: https://www.youtube.com/)

Are you interested in how we captured some of the aerial driving b-roll during the Iceland trip? We didn’t end up using much of it in the video, but it was fun to capture, anyway (video is below). The roads were unpaved and rough, so I spread a tripod out in the passenger seat footwell ...

I get asked a lot how I mount my FPV monitors to my radios. My favorite mount for the Phantom radio is the 3D-printed Rave Aerial Video mount, which snaps into place using the radio’s antenna and rear metal handle. It locks in solidly, and is perfect for the Black Pearl 5.8Ghz Diversity Receiver / ...
