I finally got the TinyRigs Smart Controller Screen Guard with Neck Strap from the slow boat from China: Box was a little crushed from being packed in a flimsy plastic bag. But contents intact. The swiveling hooks were the primary reason I bought this kit, and they fit smoothly and...

Yep, that's the same website I used beginning of this week. Waiting for response but from your experience, I may not have to wait that long...

Those are good experiences and ideas to learn from. For me, I was just flabberghasted how quickly I came across the "non-compliance police" right as I'm starting up in this hobby: this was my second flight ever! My first flight was in a mostly empty school parking lot. So to come across this...

This is the dilemma I'm, and I assume, all of us are facing, to seek that fine line of reason, understanding, and when to stand to or stand down. It will have to depend on the situation and how aggressive the other party is in forcing their opinionated position upon us...

Hehe, so true...

Hehe, tis "San Diego" of SoCal! Yea, the city of San Diego issued guidelines via flyer that basically state that the FAA is the exclusive authority of enforcement (although I don't think their guidance regarding FPV Goggles as not being allowed is not accurate according to someone who read the...

That's essentially what I said, "Thanks, I didn't know that," then continued with landing my drone (which I had to reacquire its location visually as I lost sight of it during the discussion) as they walked away. I didn't say I was quitting nor leaving, and simply sat down on the bench next to...

So I flew my second session ever from a city recreational park, on a weekend where the large football-size playing field had widely dispersed groups of people enjoying the beautiful day. It's on a tall hilltop with a walking track going around the playing field: I went right to the edge of...

I flew my second mission ever on a very tall hilltop and descended below the Home Point to cruise the school and playing field below. Not sure how much further below Home Point. I think I heard a verbal warning. I haven't looked into the flight logs this second session but now I'm curious and...

Wow, what an eye-opener. It makes sense that the 100Mbs write speed of the M2P requires significant compression of the larger 10-bit image data that much of it is tossed/interpolated to squeeze into the restrictive data pipe bandwidth to the MicroSD card. I'm a believer and switching away from...

Yea, I just came across suggestions for Resolve, the free version...

I did my second flight yesterday with the SC brightness on cranked up max on manual and I was able to see the video feed much better. Still some annoying glare but I think I'll just use it as-is for now and see if it's acceptable enough for my usage. I'm just afraid of losing sensitivity and...

I flew my second session ever yesterday and I finally took some videos and photos. I noticed after downloading them (Final Cut Pro and iMovie) that the colors of the videos looked pretty flat/washed out to me, example attached: I had a DJI ND16 filter (the histogram showed this provided the...

Follow up on the RTH: The dedicated physical RTH button on the Smart Controller works differently than the virtual button of DJI Go 4: You must press the physical button much longer than the virtual button, and it does NOT present any confirmation window in Go 4 but immediately initiates RTH...

Yea my one and only flight I had the screen set to Auto but it was hard to see the broadcast video. Only post-op did I set it to manual and max brightness. I'm trying to go for my second flight some time today after my batteries recharge; I discovered that since it's been a week from when I...
