How far can you see clearly or with good detail? If I'm flying at night and lose and engine, can I make out enough detail to pick a good landing spot?

As far as you can see with your naked eyes in fair conditions.I can use them in the darkest night, and go to my mail box and not miss a step. Distant light that looks real dim to the naked eye is actually magnified in the NV.. Be carefull what you look at, not to mention,, you can see light befor your naked eyes can with NVG,,Now Flying a plane is another story cause I aint no Piolate but these is really the best Ive seen. I don't think 3'rd generation can do it any better ,

First you will not see the moons of Jupiter.I have a 8" scope and 3ea 3&1/2" scopes.There is too much light fog in my area so I use the Binocs and enjoy the stars,the moon and I don't have to set up the scops. There are not too many clear nights. If you have a dark sky area You should enjoy star gazing. Also. Binoculars are less costly than scops. your choice. Have fun.

according to the software, 400m altitude and about 2km from remote. i haven't exceeded 1km though. it's really hard to navigate it without line of sight. even if you maintained a line of sight, it's still scary to drive it without seeing it. it eventually looks like a dot at that point. far navigation probably requires an FPV system which is a headache to get right, install, get governmental permissions for the communication bandwidth/power and it will add weight to the phantom which effectively reduces the battery life and flight time

Yes, if you have a clear line of sight to the object you want to see. If you mean something on the ground, remember that the horizon may be an obstruction depending on the distance, eye's hight, and the target's hight.

Im not sure how good orion is but im very pleased with my celestrons keep them in my truck everywhere i go, they are pretty impressive from my point of view the only thing to keep in mind is that they dont give you the full extent to which these guys are specified for if you try and zoom in to its fullest things get blurry but if you back out a little bit things are sharp i didnt know that power towers on the sides of the roads have a yellow square thats about 6x6 in with a black number for the tower and i found this out from about a mile away

Awesome you will see like its daylight thru Night Vision. Detail is very sharp.

So far, I have put the quad almost out of sight straight up and had no controller issues. Even the camera has performed better than expected. I would say the distance was at around 2500 feet. I dont have an altimeter on it so I couldnt say for sure.

I have found it best at 15 to approx. 40 ft. Up close it seems to blur. But, I am more than pleased with the Moultree D-444.

From my experience not very far at all, a few hundred feet if you're lucky. If u want live video look into fpv setups with the phantom 5.8 ghz tx model

Agree with 1200 feet maximum under ideal conditions.... Listen, you will lose orientation because the plane is too small to see before you lose signal.

I am amazed how clear and sharp the photos are at a distance of 100' plus during day light hours. At night it's a different story. The subject has to be fairly near to get a good picture. I would guess between 25 to 50 feet.

Check front gear alignment, and rotation, and also check the tailwheel is in alignment with the fuse and rudder. If it is windy, they tend to weathervane into the wind the are so light. Also, runway texture could come into play here.

Give a small area of light just wide to see where you are going on a pitch black trail. I have a higher lumens light attached to my helmet for the technical trails down hill. Field of view is about 5 ft low beam and 7 ft high beam 4 ft circumference.

The range is not specified by the manufacturer. It is line of site. If the aircraft is in view (within reason) you should have no problems. If the plane flies behind a tree, or building, the signal is lost. I hope this helps, Thanks for your inquiry. Regards, Dave, Hobby Zone

Check specs on DJI.com. I do not fly farther than I can see it. I have read accounts of in excess of 2000 feet altitude. If you exceed range and fly in GPS mode the aircraft will revert to "go home" mode and fly back to where it took off from and land. If you haven't bought yet consider the dji phantom vision II. It's awesom

I have no problem making out Jupiter's stripes, but haven't seen the spot. I haven't had a clear enough night at a time of transit (http://www.skyandtelescope.com/observing/objects/planets/3304091.html?page=1&c;=y). In addition to what comes in the package, I added a 3x barlow lens to increase the effective focal length.

Make sure you're using the correct lense. Don't use the high powered one yet. Use the lowest power. Point it at a far away house's window and get it focused. Next get the spotting scope calibrated on that window. Once you've done that, point it at the moon and focus on that. Sounds like you're just way out of focus.
