    SOLD: DJI RC never opened or used

    The discount on these is obscene right now. I think they were going for over $300 before the mini 4 pro shipped? These are fantastic controllers. I have one modified for my alientech amplified antenna, but that does add a bit to the bulk and I want a spare unmodified one. message sent.

    First drone

    oh man... you are gonna get bit by the modding bug i can tell. mavic mini does 2.7k as opposed to 4k video, so your 2008 era macbooks will thank you for that. however that signal drop trying to punch through trees with 5.8ghz is going to make you tear your hair out though. mavic mini only does...

    Drone police

    I've had near misses and would rather not disclose them, but let me just throw this in there... If a cop feels like they need to intervene with what you're doing, you can bet you're doing something to make significant contributions to legislation against the hobby. They may be out of their...

    PSA: part 107c pilots targeted for scams

    If you advertise your business, you may be solicited by what appears to be a big customer. They will make a big effort to represent themselves as a legitimate entity such as someone that can be googled and verified as a local real estate company or contractor. They may even use that actual...

    Mavic Pro Battery Mod

    i had good experience with the hyperion g8 batteries. i gave up on the proteks as they eventually kept puffing on me and that was threatening to get expensive. not like you need them to last forever though as you'll probably upgrade your camera drone. yes if you're flying high up weight will be...

    Platinum ocean crash.

    ok... what about this one?

    Platinum ocean crash.

    i never said it wouldn't fly, girlfriend. i said you'll need a lot more than a ribbon cable and bad things have happened inside that mavic which is why it won't work with your controller. look on the bright side... it is probably better this way for you as you'll possibly crash into less...

    Platinum ocean crash.

    You'll need a hell of a lot more than a gimbal ribbon cable. Open it up and post pictures of the board. Can it take photos? Snap a picture see if it saves to the sd card.

    Platinum ocean crash.

    did you ever change your props after this?

    Platinum ocean crash.

    man dont bother. the salt water has done horrible things inside that mavic. if i were you i'd sell it as non functioning for parts. i've been to that area where it took a plunge. right from that spot, i remember getting into a boat headed for a tiny island. the guy driving the boat was so wasted...

    Control sticks modification

    they discontinued those. anyone try the shorter knock-offs from amazon? polarpro ones gave up to 0.5" extension and went from 0.75" (stock size) to 1.25" whereas the knock-offs only extend by 0.177" to .927"

    Drone stuck in tree in Split, Croatia

    yeah they tend to blend in with the trees. the beeping is necessary. arborists can be expensive depending on where you are. even if you don't want them to bring it down safely, they'll still charge for sending out 2 guys to suit up. find the guy online that advertises himself as budget and has...

    Alientech PRO 3 Booster with Mavic 2?

    The alientech pro 2.4g works great for the mavic 2, but you have to remember each time to manually set it to 2.4ghz or you'll lose connection past 100ft or so. However... with NLD I activated 1.8w boost mode which I worried would damage the amp... and I picked up an Alientech Duo I have to...
