Just wondering if anyone knows why my charger never goes to solid green mode even with the new battery I bought??
I would like to know if we can set some camera settings through the Bugs go app!?

I lost my Willy because the rotors spun and cut it off
Its a fine drone but the camera is not stabilized, nor has the transmitter two antenna.
Have one. First GPS drone bought after much research. At $150 it is really great flier. I have sent it pretty far and it returns to home amazingly. The FPV lag is a legit gripe as I have seen in the reviews. but after on accidental landing on a neighbors roof upside down, It is still goin strong.
