Guess who owns Hasselblad.... https://www.diyphotography.net/the-first-chinese-hasselblad-x1d-clone-is-coming-and-its-coming-from-dji/

I'm a pilot (light aircraft & drones) and an engineer - but not an aerospace engineer. The aluminum alloy used in almost every light airplane is 2024-T3. The most common thicknesses used are 0.020 in., 0.032 in., and in some aircraft, 0.040 in. As I was told by a licensed A&P who was rebuilding...

Today is a very good day! I learned something... Thank you!

What’s with all the chatter about MA2 having a 48mp sensor? I’m under the understanding that the 48mp is in reference to a “super resolution” pano that consists of 3x3 (total of 9 photos) photos that are then compiled in the drone and stored as a jpg. I suspect that the sensor of the MA2 is a...

As you are aware - some of us are a bit more steady than others.. The roof of the Jeep is Fiberglass but the hood is metal. So far no issues, but then I don't use automated takeoff or landings. I do start the drone about 20 feet or so away in case there may be magnetic interference. So far...

Don’t forget who controls Hasselblad..... https://techcrunch.com/2017/01/05/dji-acquires-hasselblad-the-iconic-swedish-camera-company/

Eagle - 1 Drone - 0 But I guarantee you that the eagle needed to lick his wounds a while after attacking a flying salad-shooter....

I've not heard of DJI covering the batteries like this - How did you do this ??? Thanks!

I wish I had what everybody else is looking for, but I am also looking for info on how to disassemble the batteries for my Mavic 2 birds so I can rebuild them with new cells. I’ve worked on many different battery packs from various tool vendors and am well aware of the dangers involved with...
