Quad (or more) copter thread
 

I've read the enthusiast threads but wanted to start one to keep all your knowledge in one thread. I'm moving from a small dual blade copter to a DJI Phantom 2 with my GoPro.

I have a few questions on first person viewing, is it better to just use the GoPro app on a phone or ipad or to use the DJI downlink stuff? What's the real distance you can get with (LoS) the GoPro app @100 yards?

I know a guy at work that builds his own 8 rotor copter so I hope to get some info of him, but I know alot of you have them.

Thanks in advance

The Go-Pro may not be compatible with your Phantom if you want to use first person viewing. The Go-Pro FPV signal interferes with the Phantom control signal. You may lose your copter. OTOH they may have fixed this issue in the past few months.

Make sure not to hover over my property, it will be shot down .

Yes I read that too. I'll try flying by sight for the most part anyway. And no, I don't want to fly around people's houses :)
I'm more interested in nature filming
