    Question:

    I want to Live Stream the video real time and on full HD (just like the Phantom records). Is there any software or some device which can do that? The streaming to the phone is on low quality.
    Thanks.

    Answer:

    This can be done, but it's going to cost you big time. Thousands of dollars......extra!

    On a Phantom you need to use lightbridge and other stuff:

    Or, you can wait a few moments and share it with this app

    With other quadcopters you need to look for solutions specifically for that model - for example, Parrot may offer some ways to share from their AR and BeBop...or others may write apps which do more than Parrot's do.

    Streaming true HD is very difficult because most cell phone signals (that's all you have when flying most places) cannot handle that large of a data stream (many MB per second).
