    controller discharging in storage

    Could it be that you just accidentally left the remote turned when you put it away that time? I know I frequently don't quite turn the remote off - the process of tapping the power button once, then pressing and holding it down until it turns off is something I'm not used to - nothing I've ever...

    controller discharging in storage

    As far as I know, the "BATTERY DISCHARGE IN STORAGE" message is displayed when the aircraft itself reports back to the controller after the aircraft has been connected, and it's referring to the aircraft battery only. I'm not aware of any self-discharge ability for the controller. Page 5 of...

    National Drone Register Scam

    Bummer... notes at the bottom of that page: "As a service provider of aviation labels and professional document preparation services, drone-registration.net provides a simplified process to help our clients obtain a drone registration with the U.S. Government and properly label drones and other...

    Video Editing Software

    I'm currently using the DaVinci Resolve 15 Beta (Free), and it definitely does 4K.

    Does anybody know where we can actually find this media release? CASA's page doesn't list any media releases after 08/05/18. Media releases

    Crap! Just read this this morning... I'm 15 minutes away from there, and was at home all day yesterday. Talk about poor timing...

    Here is my trip to the beach, Any tips on uploading to youtube in 4K?

    The video linked in the first post gives me an option to watch in 4K, as well as 1440, 1080, etc., from my 1080p monitor.

    Here is my trip to the beach, Any tips on uploading to youtube in 4K?

    Sorry, just proved myself wrong. Was able to select a 4K video from my 1080p monitor. I can confirm that it does take a fair while longer for Youtube to prepare a 4K video, though, with the lower resolutions being available sooner.

    Do you have a 4K monitor to watch it on? I thought Youtube would only allow resolutions up to the maximum of your monitor. I can watch videos on my 1080p monitor in Youtube, where 4K isn't an option, but when I move to the HTPC on my 4K TV, the 4K options are available in Youtube.

    I watched someone crash their drone in Hawaii 2 days ago

    I agree.. not to mention the environmental impacts of the construction process of the drones themselves... Or the car that someone might drive to the National Park to enjoy it while complaining about the environmental impacts of crashing a drone into the same National Park...

    Advices needed for people who bought a skin for their MAVIC

    When I ordered my vinyl skin, I wanted to clean with metho, as this has given me the best success in the past with sticking things on others things. After reading the instructions, and viewing the how-to videos, they all said just clean with water. This didn't seem right to me, but I did it...

    Has anybody ever flown in a national park?

    No, that's a terrible analogy. Comparing the damage a sub-2-kg drone could do if crashing with the loss of life to both pilots/passengers/bystanders, as well as damage/pollution to the environment and risk of fire from the crash of a helicopter is a terrible analogy...
