What I find strange is why the drone didn’t halt once the target subject disappeared behind the wall. From past experience with the M2P when an object disappears or becomes significantly smaller in the defined tracking area the drone pauses. I snapped a few screenshots of the video and bumped...

What happens if you send in a drone for assessment that is a total loss and don’t have the refresh. Do they offer anything for the scraps that might be usable or a discount on a new one?

I wouldn’t necessarily call them idiots. Accidents happen and pretending to be immune to them would make you more of one. I think the review was pretty honest actually and at least they laughed it off. The drone was absolutely destroyed, and it’s pretty pathetic how those cheap plastic arms held...

Sorry I took so long to get back. It had been a bit gusty that past week so I wanted to wait until the wind conditions were calm. I took the bird up just for a few minutes this evening and in sport mode had no problems with speed whatsoever. It topped out right at 45.1 mph in several different...

Will do definitely! One question, would not updating the firmware have anything to do with it? I haven’t updated for a while and was hoping not to really.

I really enjoyed your reading reply, thank you! I’ll try and post one tomorrow. It almost seems like something isn’t right, because today there was literally no wind and in sport mode no matter which direction I flew I could only get 31 mph max. Wow, that’s a wealth of information, Thank...

Are you using an extender with the 200 mm?

So are you actually saying the headwind was 23 mph and not around 9 mph? If that’s the case then I should’ve technically been able to fly 68 mph on the way back.

I just use a standard weather app to check wind conditions like windy.com. I was able to go around 45 mph on the return home, although the headwind sure seemed stronger than 9 mph, so obviously it’s probably stronger winds at 150 ft. I was just curious mostly what the expected average speed is...

This topic might’ve already been extensively discussed already, although I could really find the answer to my question. What is the normal expected top speed when going into around 9 mph headwind? I was in sport mode and could barely muster 22 mph. I’ve flown in lots of wind, although couldn’t...

I tested the rtmp streaming today and it worked fine. I’m connected to WiFi at my house while I’m streaming, so if you don’t have a fast or stable connection that could possibly have something to do with it. One other thing I did notice is there can’t be a return (line feed) after the url in...

After the trial and error of putting mine in the freezer to alleviate the swelling they started getting worse, so I had to bite the bullet and buy new batteries.

I never knew that was the standard markup for manufactured items. One would think that if they can ream us that bad the item purchased would come with a great warranty or outstanding customer service. Sadly, most of these companies care very little about the end consumers satisfaction anymore...

Definitely good advice! After putting the batteries in the freezer as mentioned I decided to do a test flight today. There were absolutely no issues with the flight (voltage remained steady the entire time), although when I landed the battery was quite swollen again. I guess I could repeat...

How do you store fully charged and then discharge up to 95% before flight?
