    I would imagine you'd have better luck finding that stuff in the IE CL since it's a bigger deal out here than in LA/OC counties.

    Cool. Ya I bought 3 extra batteries. Right as I was getting the hang of it today it died and that was my only charged battery haha. I'm ordering a 2nd charger. I'm gonna take them all out Saturday to test while shooting out in the back

    I also need to figure out how to get it stabailzed. Right now it doesn't hover well it goes in one direction, is that normal?

    I've been covering pretty much all of Socal, bit of North too. Lots of ranger glass, couple tundra ones, not compatible years though :anonymous:

    Not sure how your remote is, but on mine it has this "switch" where for example, if it goes left without me trying to go left, I'll press the switch that's meant for it to go right enough to where it "balances" out. Same goes for all every other direction. Really hard to explain so my bad lol but either way the manual should be able to explain it a lot better. Bummer I wasn't able to make it out to the meet today or we would have had a full on drone conversation lol

    Ya ok mines got the same thing. I just need to find a nice open area to really dial it in. Do you run headless mode or regular? Haha ya we would for sure just go on about drones haha. Next time you're down we will for sure

    Regular mode so far, haven't tried to headless yet. I recently managed to get it off the "low mode" and into "high mode" where it's basically more agile and can seems to go a little faster. Yeah man next week for sure..I'm telling you, I've been super tempted to just go ahead and get one of the pricier ones. you can set them up to basically just follow you, so I can only imagine the sweet shots you can get while off roading.

    That's a trim setting. Just click it over to the direction you want it to balance out too. It drifts right add some left trim.

    Haha do it! I can't wait to get good at flying it and getting sweet shots!

    Ya I figured. I tried messing with it a little but I'm going to take it to a big park tomorrow and dial it in so it's stable

    Although those aren't bad at all, I was looking at the DJI mavic pro. Folds up right and fits into a small bag, plus the controller is smaller too compared to the phantom's controller.
