Ordered one from China but they sent two. I ended up paying the tariff for both items. The seller doesn’t want me to return it. The module cost $80 plus $21 shipping and the tariff was $56.80. I will sell my extra for $60 plus shipping. It is brand new a pad still in its box.

I flew my modified Tarot 650 Sport quadcopter over the Mariana Butte golf course but I neglected to measure the farthest point of the course and check against the geofence radius I set - DOH! Click here to see the video.

This is a video test flight of my highly modified Tarot 650 Sport quadcopter. The camera is a GoPro Hero 11 mounted to a Tarot 3 axis gimbal. Click here.

I have been trying to get satisfactory aerial video while flying my Tarot 650 Sport quadcopter using a GoPRo Hero4 camera with no luck - too much jello effect. So I managed to shoe-horn A GoPro Hero 11 into the gimbal and got much better video. But I have been flying blind as I haven' installed...

About a month ago, I was test flying my Tarot quad - had several successful flights, but on the last one, I was having trouble with the landing gear. The landing gear would extend when ascending and retract while descending to land. While troubleshooting in flight I accidentally toggled the...

Back in 2018, my Tarot 650 Sport crashed after many successful flights. Recently, I came across some old video and watched the crash video and spotted the cause:

It is 14 degree F. here in Loveland Colorado and we got about three inches of fresh snow last night. I wanted to take some aerial pics of the snow, but was concerned about the cold drastically shortening my battery charge. Then I hit upon an idea of using some foam weather strip material and...

After the crash of my Tarot 650 Ironman, I decided to exit the hobby. I have some miscellaneous items sitting around in my workshop: Spectrum DX8 transmitter Tenergy Lipo charger with a Radio Shack power supply Propeller Balancer Tarot 17" foldable carbon fiber props - 2 CW and 2CCW - new...

Wow, I somehow managed to avert disaster, though I don't know how. I decided to take out my modified Elev-8 out for a flight around the golf course, flying autonomously using waypoints I uploaded to the APM controller. I had previously uploaded a new version of firmware, then checked parameters...

I had stored my Tarot away for the winter, but Saturday was a nice day so I decided to take it out and do a short way point mission in order to review all the steps I need to to in order to prepare it for flight. I had wrapped the motors and camera/gimbal in plastic to protect from dust - after...

There is still snow on the ground from the snow storm last November and the ponds on the golf course remain frozen despite the warmer daytime temps. The ponds freeze over at night when the temps drop. This is a short video of a flyover of the ponds: Click here.

I learned that the reason for the poor quality video was that I rendered it at a low resolution, so I fixed the problem and reposted:

I reposted the video after fixing the resolution problem:

I have six, parted out from a Tarot 680 Pro Hexcopter that I no longer need: You can have all of them for $20.

This morning I tried to fly my Tarot quad but could not get it to arm nor tilt the camera gimbal. After taking it home and connecting it to my laptop for troubleshooting I noticed the the LED on the receiver was blinking even though the transmitter was on. Going to the Radio Calibration page in...

I have been wanting to get a Mavic ever since DJI introduced it, but it was too pricey for my budget. so I contented myself with building a Tarot Ironman - I wanted a stabilized aerial video platform. But I had an accident with the Tarot - that's another story, suffice to say, 17" carbon fiber...

I took my modified Elev-8 out for a flight a few days ago and it behaved strangely - would not hold position in Loiter mode and and started to fly way when I switched to RTL, so I had to take over and land manually. I pulled the flight controller off and opened up the case to make sure that the...

I have completed a build of a Tarot 650 Ironman, but during initial test flights, I'm experiencing random twitches and surges from the motors. I've asked for help on this and the DIY Drone forums with no advice. I've reflashed the flight controller, redid all the calibrations, including the ESCs...
