The only way you're going to be able to answer this is In the polling process during the next election, when this individual will stand a chance if getting a minimum of approximately one million less votes. That's if you actually have that option to register your disgust at the dictatorial...

First off: when was the last time the drone was used? The last time it flew? Was everything normal? Have you crashed it, or has it come into contact with water or moisture? Have you recently tried to update firmware on the drone or with the flight app?

There's only one really big fly in that ointment ... The FAA (another Federal department) has got your name and address.

Concur. Be wary. Use batteries specifically rated for specific kit... It might fit in the battery bay... it might boot your drone up... but it might cut out mid-flight as well. You don't have to be in 'sport' mode for the motors to have to draw a lot more power (strong wind gusts/head winds etc.)

Amen to that.... Petrolhead 'til I die.

Welcome from the Heart of England

That's your start point

When you're a parent, you discover the four most satisfying words in the English language. I Told You So I've been seeing this coming for the last 18 months.... as have most of the other "Chicken Littles" who have been systematically sneered at and belittled. I wonder what crow tastes like?

Have you tried reaching out to the Phillipine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology? They will be currently monitoring Canalon and the rest of the Negros Belt (Occidental and Oriental). The ability to provide contemporary high resolution video and photographic data would be of value to them...

WOW! Nepotism writ large. There's a shocker.

Grecian 2000 will make you look 20 years younger. Oil of Ulay will get rid of your wrinkles. Lynx body spray will make you irresistible to women. DJI batteries will give you a 45 minute flight time. All of the above? Snake-oil claims.

It still amazes me that the Resolve Studio is so reasonably priced for what it can do (compared to the cost of other, similarly featured softwares).

With a proper PC: Look for an intel core i7: a dedicated GPU (8gb) and at least 16-32gb of RAM. Not all editing software shunts the processing to the GPU - some video editors still put most of the pressure on the main processor. If you prefer a lappie: look for a medium to high spec gaming...

I'm just sitting here in Blighty, following this subject - so I'm not looking at the same problems on my own home turf (... yet ...). The breadth of this crackdown (call it what it is) seems to becoming more clear with routers, 'Ring' type cameras and now even HAM equipment coming under the...
