Well, if the charger is made of poor quality, it could overcharge the battery if the battery has been environmentally damaged, which would then overheat and could leak. Also, if the standard that the 3rd party charger is built to is at lower standards than aviation standards, a RC car battery...

It may be worth it to replace your charger as well. Common causes of battery swelling include: Overcharge conditions which accelerate parasitic reactions between the electrodes and electrolyte, with release of heat and gases. Poor cell quality and design with low anode to cathode...

So, I will start off with this thread saying that I have high expectations with it comes from SUAS capabilities. I used to be a field service engineer for a big drone company and the UAS systems were in the range of 10s of millions of dollars. I also used to be flight crew in manned aviation...

Hi everyone, I have Nero Video 2019. If anyone else has it, what settings are you using to edit/export 1080 and 4k vids for Youtube? Thanks in advance.

Do you have a P4P or M2P? Low light pictures actually turn out really good with them. If yes, what's your experience with low light using those cameras?

You should also know that the resolution for the M2ED for the thermal camera is not very robust. I would assume you could combine the visual and thermal picture (like how the Pilot app uses MSX to combine the camera inputs into one image) and use Computer Vision (a field of study within the...

As of now, no, the M2ED doesn't have mission planning in DJI Pilot for IOS (I use DroneDeploy for mission planning on my Ipad Mini 3 and works very well). Pilot app tutorial Also, when I take pictures with my M2ED, it takes both visual and thermal pictures. This makes it easy to generate my...

We used to have bird strikes all the time in helos. They rise up sometimes and it's usually too late. Just make sure you record the bird strike for our entertainment please. It's a badge of honor for manned aviation guys to get a bird strike.

Definitely get a Statement of Work sent with the proposal response as to exactly what you will provide. This one screams scope creep and "you didn't do exactly how we wanted you to do it, so we won't pay you as much." I've been writing and winning government/enterprise contracts for years and...

I thought so too, but I have multiple Mavic 2's, and I use a single iPad for all of them since it's quicker to interchange the iPad on the controllers for me, email myself RTMP settings and copy them into the Go app, etc. Also, be aware that some 3rd party vendors don't support the smart...
