Yep, that one ! :)

Not sure the FAA's power yet extends to Emperor stylee red lightning does it ?! This can't be read as a positive move by any light, but at least it doesn't yet stop you flying your drones.

Yep - ideal ! Never update the firmware again, lest they correct the issue ! :)

This is not my drone, or my video, so of course I don't have the data, hence why there was room for speculation in the first place... but worry not - lesson learnt - now I know how unappreciated it is that videos like this are shared I simply won't bother next time.

...possibly for suspicious reasons, but time will tell... Now we have all the previous Affinity programs in a single application, and a free version that includes all the features of their previous programs, except the AI-ones, which are now in the paid version, and, according to our...

Captain Drone has been reviewing a good few of those recently. Here's one he liked for beginners... And here's one that scared him for those who have skills !

Well thank goodness those people can use their eye muscles to move their eyes over the posts they don't want to see to the ones they do ! :)

Nope. But I wouldn't expect those guys to exercise the same level of professional conduct when they were on a discussion forum, posting a video for no other reason than that it is likely to be of general interest to the other people there.

Yes, and I never claimed it was anything else. And what, exactly, is wrong with having a guess anyway ? And who made you arbiter of what other contributors can post ?

The video has been up 1 day and garnered 94 comments, at least 5 of which specifically mention their m5ps doing similar things. 'Tons' here is a relative term ! It's not a conclusion - it's merely a speculation / observation of interest, and it's a jumping off point for discussion; after all...

I'd say that was debatable. It looked to me like there was no control from the second he left the ground and it started that sharp continuous rise he says he didn't command, and the weird vibrations were there from the moment props were started.

I wasn't thinking that a prop came off, only that perhaps one half of one become obstructed and couldn't unfold properly for some reason, or was somehow deformed in a way that compromised flight characteristics. TBH I am rather hoping it as a prop issue, and not the IMU going inexplicably nuts...

In the absence of flight logs, it was merely my own guess based primarily on the excessive vibration making its way into the gimbal from the moment it spins up and takes off, combined with the various warning messages that pop up whilst it's going mental... Unless his gimbal suspension grommets...

Looks like there may be a potential issue with props not locking in correctly with the M5Ps... Check the comments under this one - tons of people seem to be getting this issue, so popping it here as a general warning to those who have one...

Well, a lot of VLOS safety concerns are fully valid let's not forget, so it is at least partially about the safety, and there is very little we can reasonably say to counter the 'can't avoid what you can't see (or see too late)' argument. Even with 360 degree cam views (tiny, fuzzy, greyscale...
