    Anyone return to Newegg?

    Restocking fee is one reason I no longer buy my computer parts there. Amazon makes returns a breeze.

    The FAA trust recreational test is finally here.

    30 minutes? I got it 100% under 10, and I wasn't focusing on it too much... It's very easy, you can't answer wrong and quick to do. And test applies to any recreational flying, regardless of weight (so Mini etc included) - you just don't need to register those.

    Brighter Device

    With SC you can use any 7-8" bright on-camera monitor via HDMI, if SC screen is too small. SC itself is reasonably bright, and adding 7" 2200NIT monitor is a good combo. I use FeelWorld monitor with LifThor mount (handheld or tripod), works well for me.

    Lowepro DroneGuard BP 250 Backpack for DJI Mavic Pro/Air Quadcopter is great

    Tripod mount for SC?

    @Phantomrain.org just did a test flight few hundred ft (not too far due to the wind) - no problem with SC and Feelworld FW279: connected over HDMI, output 1080p/60 (4k monitor but 1080 is enough for real time viewing for me), HDMI mode = duplicate. So setup seems to work OK, waiting for that...

    Tripod mount for SC?

    Could someone please recommend a tripod mount that can be used with smart controller? I have 7" Feelworld monitor (2,200 nit) that I think would be nice to use with SC, and mounting both on my light video tripod seems like a nice setup - but I can't seem to find SC tripod mounts on Amazon...

    Use apple air tags to locate lost drone?

    Marco Polo may be a good option, relies on RF so no GPS is needed and radius is better than BT trackers. Amazon.com: Marco Polo Advanced RC Recovery System – Waterproof and Crash Resistant - No GPS or Cell Service Required – No Monthly Fees – Never Lose your Drone Again - Starter System for 1...

    Any half decent free simulators ?

    If you consider not-free options, RealFlight (with or without Spektrum controller) is a good option, though drone part is smaller then fixed wing.

    Videography learning platform recommendations?

    thanks @FlyingFilmmaker, will check it out! I'm fine with grading Log, I'd like to get better with camera moves/shot composition, sounds like that filmmaker class is a good option, but at $800 not something I can do at this time. Masterclass has a few classes that look good, I may sign up for...

    Videography learning platform recommendations?

    Thanks - I'm fairly comfortable with basic things in Premiere, AE, PS, Lr - looking to improve my techniques, especially on creative side. Hiring a live person for this does not make sense to me, there are plenty of good material online - I was just wondering if there is one place to find...

    Best monitor setup

    I recommend 49” ultrawide plus small 24" next to it - vertical size would be the same for both, that's my setup and ultrawide is great for post work

    Videography learning platform recommendations?

    Could someone with considerable video experience recommend a learning platform with high quality content to learn more about videography (something like advanced landscapes/drone cinematography, medium-advanced AE/Premiere classes, interesting PS processing techniques, etc)? I know of Linkedin...

    Switch Air 2S to ATTI mode?

    Did anyone find a way to switch 2S to ATTI mode in software somehow? I'd like to practice recovery in case GPS is lost, and preferably not replace Cine or Sports modes...
