Hi, as long as an application is using the screen, the screen doesn't time out. I set my timeout for the Tripltek 8 to 30 min.

This is the one to get: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0C1FZWT8M/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&th=1

Hi, I use my Air 2s for mapping application using the free Map Pilot Pro app. While that app can also do the mapping, I use WebODM to create my 2D & 3D maps.

Hi, IMO Autel is getting out of the consumer drone business. I have two Autel EVO ll and one Nano+ drones. They are excellent drones. I will need to fly my EVO ll V1s using a RID module. However, I have become a DJI fanboy of late. Buying an Autel drone today risks obsolescence tomorrow...

Hi, I have trouble verifying if my drones are indeed transmitting RID. I have tried Drone Scanner, Air Sentinel, and OpenDroneID apps with minimal success. Ronald Reagan has said, "Trust, but verify". To that end I have ordered the $85 UAS Sentry Remote ID Compliance Verification Unit: UAS...

Hi, now that the Mavic 3 is discontinued I don't see any reason why DJI shouldn't offer an SDK for the Mavic 3. I would like to use my Mavid 3 for mapping. DJI did offer SDK's for their Mini 3 and Mini 3 Pro for Android users. I currently do mapping with my Mini 3 because of the long flight time...

Hi, an SDK for the Mini 3 using the Plus battery will be great for mapping using Maps Pilot Pro. I will be able to cover a larger area without needing to change batteries.

Hi, that 4300mah battery doesn't auto-discharge after charging like the DJI batteries. That would allow keeping a Mini 3 (Pro) battery fully charged where the drone could be get up in the air quickly without waiting to charge batteries. I have kept Mini 1 batteries fully charged so I could get...

Hi, Li-Pol batteries will self discharge, Li-Ion batteries don't. The Mini 2 has Li-Pol batteries, but the Mini 2 can also use the Mini 1 Li-Ion batteries that don't quickly discharge in time. I keep a couple of my Mini 1 batteries fully charged so I can get the Mini 2 up in the air quickly. The...

Hi Ponz, I am a recreational pilot, but register all my drones, even the drones weighing less than 250g. Pt 107 pilots are required to register all their drones, including drones less than 250g. Having the drones registered may aid in recovering a fly away drone. Regards, Richard

Hi, the Mini 1 battery is Li-Ion, not Li-Pol and doesn't discharge in time like the Mini 2 battery. I keep a couple of Mini 1 batteries charged so I can get the Mini 2 up in the air in a moments notice and not have to wait to charge batteries. The Mini 1 battery in the Mini 2 takes the Mini 2...

Hi Fire, I had the same problem with Maps Pilot Pro, my Air 2s wouldn't take off after the last firmware update. I had to first take off with the Fly app and then switch to the Maps Pilot Pro app while the Air 2s was in the air. Maps Made Easy technical support told me that it was because of the...

Hi bburn, I use the Sky Fire Aerial controller enhancement kit with my Tripltek 8" with very good results, see: https://skyfireaerial.com/product/mavic-air-2-and-mini-2-controller-enhancement-kit/ Regards, Richard

Hi, I have the Mini 3 Pro, but would buy a Mini 3 without OA in a heartbeat. No OA could mean a lighter drone with increased flight time and may even allow use of the extended battery and keep weight under 250g. BTW, even turning off OA on the Mini 3 Pro still has OA working and sucking up...

Hi Salad, Thank you for your reply and solution to my problem. I was recording when trying to enter the Explorer mode. Regards, Richard
