    Cheers mate. Certainly, it's like they hired phone circuit board designers. can only imagine what their future offerings will be.

    360 Degree Pano guide on the Mavic

    Hangar 360 on apple stuff is good. It's not on Android yet. Microsoft package is good if you want to do it manually.

    Continuation of Mavic charging projects - portable charging - 4A vs 8A charge profiles

    That's really good bit of kit then. I wonder if it's current limited up to 8amp, I need to play with it and check. The reason I asked about the car being on off is cars normally fluctuate from 12v-14.8v depending when they are on or off. The Ultimaxx must have a step-up and step down converter...

    Continuation of Mavic charging projects - portable charging - 4A vs 8A charge profiles

    Everything with these batteries is a compromise. Actually charging a li-po to 100% is similar to leaving it discarding in respect to it's life. Charging them to 80%-90% they last longer. Also with my sports drone I rarely have to balance charge it. It's a raw lipo with no built in bms which is...

    Continuation of Mavic charging projects - portable charging - 4A vs 8A charge profiles

    Oh that's interesting maybe it has step-up step down voltage switching. I've ordered one to play with it. ;) Have you ever timed the charge? I just ran one from 18% and it took only a minute shorter than the 4amp. I'm going to do it again as I think maybe something was wrong or the battery...

    Continuation of Mavic charging projects - portable charging - 4A vs 8A charge profiles

    That's the end mate, I just trimmed the data where it fell to zero amps. Another reason they take a along time at the end is the battery does a balance charge. Though you don't really need to do this every charge and you can see individual cells in the app. You can customize it to suite, just...

    Continuation of Mavic charging projects - portable charging - 4A vs 8A charge profiles

    Not played with the chargers for a while, So I had a little play with a large 18650 pack I recently made and recorded the charge profile for 4amp(wall charger) and 8amp from the Battery pack. Really interesting to see how the Mavics battery BMS handles the different inputs.Also a question if we...

    Now THIS is a real multi charger!

    Just put a piece of plastic like packaging under the board and I'm sure it would be fine. You could also put a 15 amp fuse inline.

    The wet wolf

    Thanks! They are awesome. I got mine form a breeder in NE Oregon. Not sure if there is any relation. The mask is delightful and certainly photogenic.

    New years day stroll

    Thank you for the comment. I really enjoy learning to make videos. It takes a lot to get to grips with the drone, Slr and the video editing package. i certainly prefer to try and do a little story with the music rather than just upload aerial footage. Cheers!

    The wet wolf

    Thanks. It was only a tiny shallow otherwise I wouldn't let him go near it. Also he avoided the ice after that, so maybe a nice little lesson. He does hate water.

    New years day stroll

    Cheers mate. Glad you enjoyed it. Just enjoy learning the different aspects of making the videos. It's Mostly in tripod mode hovering. The moving shots I'm just gently steering it while holding the rc out of view.
