I clipped a tree branch with my new HS700 a few weeks ago. Interacted with customer service, who had me send a video showing what was happening since (drone would not reliable stay connected to satellites). Guy says, "Probably something wrong with the GPS. Want to exchange it for a new one?"...

Try Ohio Drone Repair. He's a good guy.

That was happening with my HS700E - I was advised to make sure not to fly in "Beginner" mode and that helped. Otherwise, no idea.

I got these - - - open the app, connect to the drone, turn on the 3Dview, slide my IPhone12 Pro in and boom - FPV. $25 on Amazon.

Has anyone ever flown at Hilton Head Island, SC? The airspace is almost all restricted according to B4UFly and my wife tells me that she read on one of her HHI FB pages that it is illegal according to local ordinance. I searched the city code and could not find anything. Planning a trip for...

You said: I don't understand what the problem is? You don't hook the phone to the remote, you insert it into the helmet. Helmet on the head, remote control of the drone in the hand. The picture you provided shows some sort of remote control (not the drone controller).

got something similar - - - didn't get a remote, however. Not sure how I could use that and the drone controler.

good to know. Just confirming - I do not need a 5g phone to work with my drone. Is that correct?

Cool. Thanks.

Sorry for the myriad of questions. This one revolves around the controller, my phone, and "Is there a better way?" My iPhone 12 Pro keeps popping out of the holder at the top of the remote. I had to take my case off just to get it to fit at all. I was thinking about getting an iPad Mini...

Update: I took a peek around the web and found a video from another manufacturer explaining the signal pattern on the typical drone controller - if the drone is up high and a good distance away when it loses signal, changing the position of the controller so the antenna is vertical points the...

Ok, thanks. Looking for an old phone I can use. That sounds like a better option.

Thanks for the info. My understanding is the wifi from the drone/controller is 5G. Verizon recently updated the entire network surrounding me to 5G. Any chance that is causing interference?

How does the drone communicate with the controller? Is it via wifi or via GPS/Satellite? My HS700E seems to "lose" connectivity when it is not very far away (height <100 feet, distance <400 feet). It is rather disconcerting. When I set the parameters to max distance and max height, I am...

Thanks!
