    iRepairMD closed?

    Agreed. That was the reason for me creating the post here. I couldn't get an email response and all research I was doing online was telling me it was closed up for business. To an end user who spent money on their website and could not get a response in 2 business days it appeared to me at the...

    iRepairMD closed?

    I was able to fix my drone but I had to order parts from eBay. iRepair refunded my money on 4/12. I received no return email from them until the refund

    iRepairMD closed?

    I did email that address twice and got no response. Since I used PayPal I just told them that I was getting no response from the vendor and filed a claim. They refunded my money after they couldn’t get a response either.

    iRepairMD closed?

    Does anyone know if iRepairMD is still in business? I purchased a replacement gimbal from the this past weekend and have heard nothing from them other than the automated invoice email.

    Anyone flew above cloud yet?

    I'm surprised many of you in the US have not mentioned staying 500 feet below the clouds (ceiling). Did this FAA reg change recently? Flying in fog was one of my part 107 questions and it's not legal since you would not be 500 below a cloud.

    Does anyone know what the algorithm is in this scenario? Backtrack? Move left or right? Gain elevation? If the front sensors are ultrasonic then cooling tower output should not have stopped the drone. I don't know why it's so important. Especially since I got my drone back. Maybe I'm just...

    That's kind of what I was thinking may have happened instead. There was no noticeable movement left if it had detected the antennae. My understanding of the forward sensors though is that they are ultrasonic which would have not seen the vapor.

    I feel lucky...very lucky

    I was flying an orbital around the AIG building in Houston, TX, with a Mavic Pro. Mostly because I thought it would be a really cool shot. Before take-off I set the RTH altitude to be 392 feet. I knew that the height of this building was greater than that besides I wasn't planning on losing...

    Check out the new Epson AR Flight simulator App!

    Did this ever get released? We're now 3 months later and I'm not finding this app in the Moverio store.

    READ DESCRIPTION BELOW I've been helping emergency services search for drowned boy.

    If the loss/disappearance was recent, <30-60 min, an IR camera with good resolution would be the best bet for searching like this.

    What do Mavic Pilots Drive?

    Why so many static still shots?! It's a freaking drone forum peeps! I see a lot of expensive cars on this thread. I choose to keep it basic and cheap and then pimp it out with all the Stormtrooper stuff I can find
