    $49 Huawei Ascend XT2 aka Wunderphone = THE best Mavic screen EVER

    I'm honored that my disappointment bothers you so much. :p

    If I did, I wouldn't care if it had a functioning gyro. I wasn't thinking of using it for Cardboard at the time. Actually, I didn't imagine there would be a modern smartphone without one; seems kind of standard to me.

    Well, I'm pretty sure I read in another forum that it was simply disabled by the manufacturer.

    Well, now I'm disappointed, just discovered Google Cardboard isn't compatible with the WP. It seems that Huawei disabled the gyro.

    Did my first flight tonight with the Wunderphone. Mid-way through my session, I got a disconnect error and the app locked up. Luckily I was still able to fly it and land, in spite of the "aircraft disconnected" message on the controller. Then the camera view went totally black. Had to restart...

    Speaking of the hardware home button, when I disconnect, typically the last thing I do is shut down Go 4. With my S7, I hit the hard home key and then close apps from the left soft key. But the Huawei only has soft keys and they get totally obscured by the Go 4 app; so the only way I can shut it...

    $49 Huawei Ascend XT2 aka Wunderphone = THE best Mavic screen EVER

    Got mine last night; turned off autobrightness immediately, after it got so dark I couldn't see the screen. I found that strange. But it looks good now, and after some frustration, I'm running .15. I was expecting to be able to sideload using a thumb drive for file transfer, like I do with my...

    I ordered one yesterday morning, then braced myself for the "out of stock" Dear John email. I'm happy to report that today I received an "order shipped" email. None of my local Walmarts had any stock. I'm currently an S7 user; I'll be ecstatic if I can finally use the side port short cable...

    How do you keep it spicy and interesting?

    You had me at "windsurfs."

    Finally got game and Updated My S7 To Nougat

    I was just forced to accept Nougat the other day. Still works about the same with DJI Go, and still can't use the side connector. Wish I could.

    A few months ago, I saw that someone was doing a series of pornos using a drone. So there's always that.

    Video Editing Software

    I've noticed very few people mention Premiere Elements. It's pretty powerful for the $$. For free on a PC, there's always Windows Live Movie Maker, which I've used for years, but trying to make the switch to Premier Elements now. WLMM can do all the basics, and can work with both .mov and .mp4...

    Side Port Disconnect Issues

    I haven't seen any recent discussions regarding this. Is anyone else having disconnect issues when using the side port and DJI flat cable with an Android device? I use a Galaxy S7; when I use the side port (which I prefer because of the low profile) it disconnects randomly on EVERY flight. I've...

    chipped propellers: do you still use it?

    I'm going to start saving all my nicked props to make beanies with them.
