I hope these are good batteries but geez, every week there's a new article about a new battery but nothing goes into production AND found to be safe from blowing up, fires, dying for reasons unknown, and other things I can't think of right now. Lithium polymer batteries are fairly safe but they...

If I had a dollar for every article that I've seen about some new battery tech in the last year alone, I'd have at least $52. So far none of them have gone into production. We'll see if Tesla's new tech shows promise. Until the problem with fires spontaneous combusting is solved, EV's are not a...

Nothing wrong with agreeing to disagree.

I'm not saying you're wrong. In fact you're right for your area. The climate has changed and it will always have long periods of lull where it stays the same then periods of change. Looking back on our known history of climate change from when the continents were connected till now, there have...

One thing to consider is the Mini 2 will never have RID like the newer DJI drones. I have 5 drones but only 2 of them will not ever have RID unless I put a module on them. The Mini 2 is exempt from RID and sure, the camera isn't quite as good as the Mini 3 but it's still a good 4K 30fps camera...

Until a new design is proven to be fire-safe, affordable, long-lasting (20 years), and able to charge in 10 minutes to 80%, we cannot transition to EV's. Small incremental improvements are always welcome and of course an hour flight time on the same size batteries we now use in drones would be...

Drone noise is one of those things that once you hear it and know what it is, you'll always know what it is when you hear it again. The Mini 3 is quiet though and that's one big reason I bought one.

It's worth it for new pilots and expensive equipment. In this case the Air 2s and above. I'm waiting on a new Mini 3p right now and I don't think I'll insure it. I might regret that later but I've made most the rookie mistakes that I'm going to (I hope). Other than that it's a personal choice...

In my humble opinion the quality camera drones are creative workhorses while any FPV drone, whether hand built or RTF is a hobby toy that requires much patience and deep pockets. One cannot be concerned about the cost when flying FPV. It's simply an expensive hobby and from what I've seen and...

This is the best solution. If you want to take it up a notch then get a marine deep cell battery to use with the inverter and your charger. A sequential multiple battery charger would also be a plus. You might be able to recharge 10-15 batteries this way. Also it doesn't even have to be a full...
