    Folding landing pad

    I've watched videos on how to fold a landing pad. Most are shot from in front of the guy doing the folding. Maybe I'm slow, but I got to thinking it would make more sense if they were shot from the perspective of the person doing the folding. So I made this little video from the "folder's"...

    Smart Phone

    Is anybody using a "Samsung Galaxy J7 Sky Pro 4G LTE" smart phone to fly their Bebop2? I'm thinking of getting one and using my Track Fone account.

    Flight data from crash

    I had my Bebop2 do same thing. A bit of trouble getting it to connect with my Galaxy tablet. After it did connect, I took off, and climbed to about 25 feet. It just stopped, and fell to ground. I was still in warranty, and after a bunch of e-mails to Parrot, they replaced it. Here's a "very"...

    AR Pro3 Flight Plans ??

    When making a flight plan using AR Pro3, is there a way to "Pre-Set" the camera angle precisely? The "Camera Vertical Angle" window only allows to move the slider up or down. There's no way to know just how much the camera is pointing up or down. The description, about using that, "Camera...

    GPS Repair

    Update: Got my new GPS board & installed it. GPS works ok. Did a few short (drive-way) flights to test it. * First flight I had the Bebop2 on pavement, and GPS went green. * Second was a little longer. Took off, and was about 15 feet up when it went green. Even displayed my elevation &...

    GPS & Calibration

    Ha Ha ! At my age, I don't like to bend any more than I need to. Maybe I can get a folding table that would fit into a back pack. Actually, I was recording 3 different things to make that video. Balancing all 3 made for a bit of editing to blend everything down to make sense of what I wanted to...

    GPS & Calibration

    A comment about always having to do a Bebop2 calibration, led me to wonder if this could solve my problem. The complaint was that the calibration window was always coming up. The answer was to perform the calibration faster. I was having missing elevation & distance readouts. Flight plan...

    GPS Repair

    Thanks a bunch! I'm waiting on my new board. Will do the swap when it comes in. Hope it gets my GPS indication back. It's been intermittent. Sometimes it's Green, and sometimes it's not. When it is not, I loose my elevation, and distance readouts too.

    sky controller 2 side USB port ?

    Contact the seller. Same thing happened to me. My 1st Skycontroller2 didn't come with charger. They replaced it with a 2d controller, that came with different battery, charger, and cable. My 2d controller has a round battery, model#CHAO76002 12.6v 1.2a Charger, and 5 pin connector with only 3...

    GPS Repair

    Thanks for reply. I have watched the videos. They make reinstalling the nose cone look like it goes on real slick! NOT-SO! It is hard to slide the cone past the metal plate. I don't like forcing things. That's why I asked if any one here has any suggestions. Youtube videos make it look like...

    GPS Repair

    I'm going to try and get my GPS signal back. I ordered a GPS board, and going to swap out for my original one. Are there any issues I should look for? I've watched videos on doing it, and it looks like pulling nose cone, and disconnecting the ribbon is all I have to do. Unscrew the board, and...
