    DJI Batteries Is there a device that will measure the battery Voltage

    I dont know if it has been written about? Hanatora Charger for MA2. 4 batteries charged near simultaneously; cycling from one to the next at about 5-10 second intervals. Individually reads voltage and amperage draw of each as they cycle through. IMO very fast charger at 13.2V / 2A and fan...

    Hi, anybody following the news that DJI may not be able to sell drones in the USA?

    Trade war my shorts! What does the US have to leverage with; despair, racial unrest, brutality, massive penal and injustice systems, terrorism? Surely you dont mean withholding crap wrap debt ridden dollars? China already holds the greatest % of US debt IOUs. Maybe you think there's value in...

    Hi, anybody following the news that DJI may not be able to sell drones in the USA?

    I dont all acronyms in the dictionary so VNA needs clarification. But tell me how a majority of DJI drones (other than goobermint types) are transmitting anything outside of LOS return WiFi signals to the controller. Are there satellite signals at-play unbeknown to us hobby illiterates. Are...

    Costco Air 2S package

    Check DJI.com Refurbished MA2 ~ $690. I assume a controller is included in the sale of any drone; and, as to value of used battery...negligible versus $115 new.

    Costco Air 2S package

    Sure that is a savings on the Costco bundle; but in MHO, if starting out a Combo Pack is the way to go. A single extra battery is nice but still greatly insufficient.

    400 ft Height limitations

    Im puzzled as to the question? A 450 ft rock is no different than a 10,000' mountain. There is a distance away from the obstacle that allows you to climb to the height of that obstacle whether that's a 450' rock or the 1454' Empire State Bldg; which you might climb to 1854' if it werent a no...

    Thinking about a skin (wrap)

    Ive had the pleasure of applying skins to two MA2 quads. Cleaned A/C and hands with isopropyl alcohol. Wiped down A/C with lint free cloth. The alcohol does leave a film. Has taken an hour to apply skin. Steady as you go. I start in center of a member portion and work outward, pressing the...

    Sidewards facing Hyperlapse possible?

    I can see where this operation may be of great value. My interest it would be search and rescue. A 10 acre ground patch surveilled along a flight path first 90 degrees right then 90 degrees right on a return trajectory. The MA2 cannot aim the gimbal 90 degrees but close enough. Yes, Id like...

    Air 2S vs. Mavic Air 2 - What’s the Difference?

    Difference? Slight at best, Camera is largest advance though performance is lesses than a MA2. No real need to upgrade if the Mavic Air 2 if already at hand, IMO. Of course if your keeping up with the Jneos'. The Air 2S, as I understand it, is a camera upgrade. The Air 2S is no longer...

    Firehouse Strobes

    My limited experience, very few and minimal duration twilight flights, says a 5 LED and fully housed strobe is worth paying for. I do use a strobe as time approaches towards sunset, and cloudy overcast days. The Firehouse Arc V is my favorite for it's 5 LEDs and greatly for its streamline...

    Firehouse ARC V Strobe Review

    My limited experience, very few and minimal duration twilight flights, says a 5 LED and fully housed strobe is worth paying for. I do use a strobe as time approaches sunset, and cloudy overcast days. The Firehouse Arc V is my favorite for it's 5 LEDs and greatly for its form factor. My...

    Firehouse ARC V Strobe Review

    Firehouse ARC V - LED Bulb Type. Not so bright. Was led to believe the 5 LEDs bulbs would be as bright as my 1st strobe with 5 white LED chip type. This latter is blinding white and by blinding I mean you cant stare at it. If this ARC V is supposed to be 1000 lumens, my TopSun strobe...

    Hello first time drone buyer needs advise

    As of this time apparently "geraldb" was simply a zombie walker. Passing thru and shedding DNA. I personally appreciate the likes ?posted to my responses to the unresponsive geraldb. Sometimes it doesnt pay to be helpful?
