Awesome video. So it can fly pretty far and still maintain wireless streaming video? How can you tell if it's about to go out of range?

If it does go out of transmitter range it returns to the set home point which is recorded before you take off if pre flight is done properly and will auto land itself but you can regain control once back in range, some guys with modification flying 10000 foot away

I had it out to about 1200 feet away

I saw a humorous video where a drone went out of range and returned to home. Unfortunately there was a mesa between the drone and home. The video captures the aftermath in great detail. :)

most the crash and "fly away videos" are just poor piloting

you can have dynamic home point on which if you are moving changes the home point

you also can set the altitude of your return to home mine is set to 40m which is about 120 ft

also as soon as its back in range flicking s1 switch regains control and you can land it or continue sadly ppl don't read the manual or plan their flights

im a member of the forums and user groups, there has been a plethora of xmas present pilots whinging about crashes etc since the 25th when with a little digging it becomes clear it was their fault

Since this thread first came out, I've upgraded to a Phantom 2 (still using GoPros). If you're interested, here are a few videos I've done to highlight some of our local communities (near Pittsburgh):

I want one really bad..

There are so many out there, that it will be hard to choose which one is the best and gives the best quality.. I wish I had one when I went to yellowstone

This is my favorite drone show
