    Does the Smart Controller battery need to be conditioned?

    I recently bought a Smart Controller from an owner who never used it. Should I condition its battery by running the controller down to 0% two or three times before I begin to charge it regularly? I know I had to do this with a tablet I bought and with the Apple laptops I've bought in the...

    Screen protector for Tripletek

    Thanks, gentlemen. I did in fact buy the tablet from the venodor whose tablets are identical to the Tripleteks. I've contacted him, and will contact triplletek as well.

    Screen protector for Tripletek

    Can anyone recommend a good screen protector for a Tripletek 7 tablet? I want to keep the tablet screen clean. Also I need to reduce the screen's reflection of my face. I checked Amazon - there's nothing there but imported junk from China...

    Pay for DJI Fly app???

    I had the same issue with mistakenly downloading the spoof app from the Google Play store. The clue is the cheap-looking gold star crown labeled "Premium" and the absolute inability to avoid the come-ons to pay. I'm going to wipe my tablet clean and download direct from DJI.

    Holy Stone RID on Mavic Pro: photos wanted

    Thanks, Howard. I'll look for that 3M Dual Lock. The key is not only the hook-to-loop strength but also the adhesiveness of the glue holding the strips to the drone, right? So what's your take on the adhesive?

    Holy Stone RID on Mavic Pro: photos wanted

    Because I do a lot of conservation mapping work with my Mavic Pro, I need to be in compliance with all FAA regs each time I launch. Can anyone provide photos of what the Holy Stone RID looks like attached to their Mavic Pro? Used Holy Stone RID's are showing up on eBay these days for under...

    Brand New Eagle View 2200 Nit Tablets Android 13

    I bought one of Paul's closeout 1000 NIT 7" tablets last month and am really happy with it. The battery lasts forever. The tablet came well-packaged, is bright, and runs plenty fast for my needs. The free included mount is sturdy and well made. Paul shipped the unit fast and followed through...

    Landing pad recommendation

    Has anyone got recommendations for a decent landing pad for the Mavic series of drones? So many of those for sale on Amazon look cheaply made and come from China.... I need something weighted and foldable. Has anyone tried the Hoodman weighted pads? I use their hoods but think they are a...

    Free Mavic pro batteries (2). One is DJI OEM, the other isn't. Pay shipping only...

    Thanks for the input... Adorama is replacing them at the moment. I offered them here because I know some drone owners like to fiddle with old batteries. I don't mind the trip to Staples - they take pretty much anything electronic - but you never know when someone might want something like these.

    Free Mavic pro batteries (2). One is DJI OEM, the other isn't. Pay shipping only...

    Adorama sent me two defective batteries for my Mavic Pro. One batt is an OEM DJI, the other is an aftermarket. Both batts flash either 3 times repeatedly or 16 times repeatedly depending on the time of day. They won't take a charge. Rather than drop them off at Staples, I want to give them...

    Updating Eagleview tablet to Android 13

    I haven't got the tablet yet and thus haven't yet connected the tablet to my controller. I only ask about the upgrade because the vendor has offered to upgrade the OS before shipping... I'm always reluctant to update any OS to the latest version. Sometimes the updates are buggy. Other times...
