    Video Recording

    I hope you did not buy your card from a certain jungle website, because there is a non-significant chance of getting a fake (especially Kingston/Sandisk) card. Test you card using storage testing software, it is possible that your card is not what it is pretending to be.

    Flying in winter: things to watch out for?

    I will have a strobe light on the main drone that I will be deploying for winter flying - Air 3S. I recently acquired a new-to-me DJI Flip, but I likely won't put the light on that, or my Mini 4K. I will look into reflective tape, thanks!

    Lockheed Martin Unveils Vectis Drone.

    Yes Very Nice How Much! But the real question is, can I use it to do a dronie?

    Dji mini or Neo?

    Which Mini are you referring to? Mini 4K, Mini 3 Regular/Pro, Mini 4 Pro, Mini 5 Pro? I am assuming you mean the Mini 4K since that is the closest in price point to the Neo. I don't have a Neo, but from footage I saw online, the Mini 4K actually has greater quality. In tight locations, you can...

    Flying in winter: things to watch out for?

    I need to look into this. I will check if the big box grocery stores or online sites sell these packs in small sizes so I can get a couple in a bag (as opposed to a plastic box with vents in it). I do have the stock glass in front of the actual lens on my Air 3S, and a simple UV filter in front...

    Flying in winter: things to watch out for?

    Haha indeed! Most likely I will only be flying one battery each time, I am still a very newbie to drone flying so I don't have any commercial shoots/jobs going yet. I can see having to stay out in the open if it's a job that you can't fly the drone from indoors/inside a car. Ooooh yes. I have...

    Flying in winter: things to watch out for?

    Thanks for the heads up! Yup, definitely not flying at near freezing temps (below or above).

    Flying in winter: things to watch out for?

    Yes!! I did notice from that Youtube clip (couldn't find it now) the pilot was constantly checking the battery info page on the ascent and descent.

    Flying in winter: things to watch out for?

    Hello everyone, I have a general question about flying drones in winter, above or below freezing temps. It's almost that time of the year again, and this will be my first winter owning a drone, and I am sure the itch to fly will kick in some time after the snow falls. Are my below...

    Air3/3S battery charge speed & charger discussion

    Thumbed up just for the effort, thanks for this info! I do understand fast charging is not good for it, I will have to find another charger that has the correct PD agreement and charges at a slower rate.

    Freewell Air 3s Filters Return Policy

    That is a very reasonable response, and frankly I am surprised they even tell you how they tried to save you money and offer you a discount on the M4Pro filters.

    Best position to attach strobe light on Air 3S

    Thank you for everyone's input! I have stuck it on basically the mid point of the fuselage topside. Considering the fuselage is tiled anywhere from 10 to maybe 45 degrees max during forward movement, the small bump from the strobe light probably didn't add too much to drag. Maybe a little bit...

    Best position to attach strobe light on Air 3S

    Hello folks, I just purchased a small strobe light to attach onto my Air 3S, so I am looking to find the ideal position on where I could attach the strobe light module. The module itself is small, about 40mm x 30 mm x 15 mm. The ideal position ideally (yes) offers the least disruption to...

    In-flight component temperature check - is this available in the Air 3S?

    It is not Tiktok, I mean short videos. I can see the motor assembly physically detaching in the slow motion causing the crash, pretty hard to fake.
