Thank you so much. You helped greatly.

I finished all 4 blades. The drone is slightly quieter, and is very stable. The prop arms do not shake at all. No vibration whatsoever. To align the blades I used a metal cylinder that fit the center hole tightly and pushed the blades onto it. The top blades had to have their motor connectors...

I'm using RTCM3 NEAR. I talked with the FL Dept of Transportation. They recommended that one. RTCM3 is the norm for newer equipment, like a Mavic 3 RTK system. Use the associated port. Make sure your password and username are correct too. "NEAR" means the network will pick the nearest base...

both. I purchased 2 usb c dongles at 12 dollars each and 2 cellular modules to insert into the dongles at 20 dollars each. I'll have to get sim cards. I'm curious to see what happens when I attach these usb c dongles with cellar modules and sim cards to the drone and rc pro

Fused 2 non-OEM cheap flimsy replacement blades together , then attached just one of these 4 bladed modified props to a mavic 3. I need to do all 4 blades. I will eventually. This was just a test of one. It seemed perfectly balanced, and stable. Having only one I could not assess noise levels...

I use that one. I think I keep the payload to close to the drone. How far is your payload hanging from the drone? I modified the one in your link. I unscrewed it, cut it in half and moved the parts to the front. The landing light sensory stays in place. The pin and servo are just under the...

i've wondered that myself. I haven't the slighest idea. Funny thing, I only had the insurance for 3mnths before I crashed, cashed and dashed. :) The new drone is coming in today by the way.

I have a mavic 3 enterprise. I was wondering, if I stuck a mavic 3 Thermal on it, would it function as a mavic 3 thermal. I noticed the apps are the same between the T and E. The E just can't use the thermal functions and the Thermal can't use the Enterprise functions. The functions for both...

DJI has 2 cams. The "1x" primary and the "7x" primary lens. 7x is a relative term. It means it sees 7x as far as the main primary lens. I basically had the 7x primary lens digitally zoomed by 4 (28x) or a crop of 400%. People say you can just do this in post and get the same results. I don't...

Look at my video in post 78. I would not call that a social media shot or simple point and shoot. It's an effect you can only get with the zoom lens. I think it looks great myself. It's even zoomed to 28x digital. I could not create this effect in post either.

You say it's not semantics, but lets say I own a 35mm standard DSLR camera. I then think to myself, I want a lens that can see things further away. Lets say this lens is a fixed lens. MOST PEOPLE STILL CALL THIS LENS, TO GET CLOSEUPS, A "ZOOM" LENS, EVEN THOUGH IT IS A FIXED LENS. THEY CALL IT A...

Here is a great example from a post of mine of the 7x zoom lens at work. It was set to 4 times it's optical 162mm Focal length ie 28x relative to the main camera. It does have it's uses. I can't do this in post. Go to the end of the video to see exactly how far away the drone is from the tower...

I'm going to try making my own usa version of a dongle and cellular module. At least on the hardware side. I wonder if i'll still need DJIs network service.

I personally like the 7x. I use it during the day mostly. The footage is fair to good. Zooming in helps to see things that I couldn't , then I simply move the drone in closer for a better shot.

THE ARE USB C DONGLES AND LTE MODULES THAT ARE SOLD IN THE USA SPECIFICALLY DESIGNED TO WORK WITH US CELLULAR NETWORKS, IF I BUY THESE DONGLES WITH THE CELLULAR MODULES CAN I THEN LINK THE DRONE TO THE RC? Here are replacement parts for a sbc adapter and 4g LTE module for american phones or...
