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. ...

It was a great event, with nearly 200 press and friends in attendance. We announced both the new DJI SDK for Phantom and the Inspire 1, and had Mythbusters Adam Savage and Jamie Hyneman as special guests on stage. Thanks to everyone who came ...

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 / ...

Some of this footage was streamed live to Burning Man’s Ustream live webcast during the event. If you’re interested in what it was like to ...
