[QUOTE="Tom Croley, post: 19557, member: 3843"] Well, I talked to the wife about the phone and we both agreed to an upgrade. Bought an Iphone SE from Walmart for $129.00. I tried the activation by scanning the QR code and it simply refused to scan. Tried many times using both the box and the battery compartment. Back to google, I found a video that explains how to activate.... the scan failed again so I used the "traditional method". I went to my phones settings and setup a wifi connection using the default name and password on the box. Then I turned on the drone, started the App, and waited for it to connect, and it did. I fumbled around for a while and finally I think I clicked on the equipment Icon and it started the long sought activation dialog. The key is setting up the network, connecting, then fumbling until you get it. Old people fumble well. Oh... I think it connected when I pushed and held the battery button until it beeped twice and the big status led's turned green. The directions that came with the drone are too finely printed to read so I downloaded a manual in .pdf format. It was way better for reading. It never mentions any "traditional method" so you really get frustrated trying to scan that QR code.... and I am good with QR codes. Well, I finally got it activated and made my first 1 minute flight with whatever was left of the battery after that long ordeal. I managed to hover in the living room for 1 minute, scare the dog, and shoot a very short video of my wife. Yea!! [/QUOTE]
