By my rough computations, based on various info sources and likely inaccurate, the EVO1 will meet specs with 40g extra weight onboard. I would aim for the lightest tag I could find, though. For example, The Drone Tag Beacon weighs in at 16g, and range tests with a drone Detection app showed...

I reported the exchange. to eBay but have not seen a response. The listing disappeared from my view and has not showed up in sold or completed listings. Too bad, too. The firmware version numbers matched my working remotes, so it is likely a good controller. After the exchange, I feared that...

Offers were invited, and I made one at $90. His counter offer was 125 - the opening bid price. When I declined that counter-offer is the instant my wellbeing was threatened by the self described "demon" with poor spelling skills. I have 2 EVO1 setups, but one controller was once obviously in the...

I inquired as the the firmware numbers on this controller and explained how to get the info. The seller pasted the FW info on his post once he understood the importance. I offered $90. Here is the comment on his counter offer and his reply after I reminded him that my inquiry gave him the data...

I bought a monitor mount. It came with the H shaped bracket that screws to the rear of the Tripltek monitors and accepts 1/4" bolt attachment from the gooseneck. I have no use for this bracket. If anyone in the USA wants it, drop me a PM and I'll send it along. For clarity in case these differ...

Well done. The antennas are down inside the front leg on EVO1. Maybe same for EVO2. I wonder if trapped water dawdled there and corroded the circuit card traces. Just a guess

Other forum remarks indicate the 900MHz capability was never active in the production models. But they are certainly there. The BIN files are compressed (very often with PK Zip, which can be spotted in the file with a hex editor such as HXD at embedded file headers which begin with PK). If you...

I experienced this one time with a FW 1.5.8. No slow flash. No pairing flash. It happened out of the blue after many flights and starts. I changed batteries to a fully charged, known good one and that solved the problem. I had read that the defective battery fault (uneven cell) may halt proper...

Hospitals. Been there. Get well soon, and best of luck with health and the drone.

I wish these files were available at a second storage site. My computer cannot access Microsoft's cloud. Some prior owner must have done something they did not like. I cannot get an account

I have seen controllers that refuse to pair. Don't forget that to initiate successful pairing the controller must first be MATCHED to the aircraft. This assures the frequency and coding is coordinated, Place controller in MATCHING mode by turning the controller on while holding down the Home...

EVO1 Connect to the copter. Press display so the camera image appears. Use the roller next to display button to highlight the Settings icon (looks like a gear) over on the far right bottom of display. Press in on that right side roller wheel to select Settings. Select Language or whatever you...

From replacing internal batteries, to coating the boards and making other modifications, it is wise to first gather as much technical data as possible. Before you remove the enclosure screws and possibly disturb heat paste, wiring, or other structures. I always start at the FCC ID search page...

You should look at the test reports and internal photographs on file at FCC. Simply enter the FCC ID number that is on the equipment tag on the search form at the FCC site, and study the info on file. Most include sufficient battery info to get you started and the ones that don't still show a...

For any of the controllers or the aircraft, the best first stop when considering repairs or modifications, is the FCC ID Search system. For example, here is the page for my RC: OET List Exhibits Report Some manufacturers claim an intellectual property right and provide little data except for the...
