    Ever seen a big bird poop?

    The title got me... I was thinking "haven't seen it, but now I need to."

    Xiaomi's entrance in the drone market. DJI should seriously pay attention to their customers now.

    Well, if it's a rip-off, so what ? The people who love their DJI products aren't going to give it all up for one of these. I wouldn't. DJI has their issues, but it is still the Lamborghini of the drone world at it's price point. You could purchase and destroy 3 of these in relation to what you...

    Lenovo Tab M10 w/ Alexa ?

    Thank you for the reply. As the specs aren't quite up to par, I'll probably skip it for now. I should've waited and got a more powerful tablet than the used Nexus 7 for the drone, but I'll see how it works out in the long run...

    Lenovo Tab M10 w/ Alexa ?

    I have an old Nexus 7 tablet that I'm using now - it is dedicated to the Mavic. Bloatware has been stripped and only DJI Go 4 and Airmap are on it currently. I know there are many other tablets, but if this one could serve more purpose than my dedicated one, I would consider it... Thanks.

    Lenovo Tab M10 w/ Alexa ?

    Good morning all ! Got a question, not sure if anyone has an experience yet... My home is mostly "smart" with Amazon Alexa devices (lights, security cameras, echo units, etc.) and I've been considering this tablet. As just a tablet, it would get some use instead of staring at my tiny phone...

    Braking not smooth

    That is the exact same post with several words changed. Looks like someone has two accounts, or someone is spamming !

    FAA registration number placement

    Had to blur out my numbers a bit, but here are a few pics of my AC's...

    Got a multi-charger, but not sure if it is earthed correctly

    Quick summary, I've learned to be wary of "off-brand" electronics offered at incredible prices on Amazon. I would rather pay a little more for products that are tested by the UL and have traceable results. My Mavic (aftermarket) charger came with the bird. I purchased a refurbed unit for...

    Got a multi-charger, but not sure if it is earthed correctly

    I have an aftermarket charger for my bird too. Now you've got me concerned enough to open mine, and check the quality of the connections. I never really consider that there may be shoddy workmanship in devices like this. Thank you for your post. Rarely is there an issue, but occasionally we see...

    Got a multi-charger, but not sure if it is earthed correctly

    I would leave the original, and add one from the pin to the chassis.

    To Register or not to Register?

    Here's my thoughts... Display FAA reg numbers properly. Carry your reg card. If law asks to see it, offer it. Ask politely if they would like you to stop your current activities. If so, do so. Go someplace else with your drone that you will still have in your possession, and your personal...

    USA Drone Flying.. Are you labelled up?

    I purchased a nice set that came with a nice FAA reg card. I would've used my dymo, but I don't have clear labels for it.

    Is Showing Your FAA # Smart

    I get that. I considered taking down the pics I posted a few hours ago. I think if someone wants to steal the numbers, they'll do it anywhere. And if they used them for malicious purpose, it wouldn't be too hard for the powers that be to find out that they're not valid. Kinda like illegally...

    Is Showing Your FAA # Smart

    Regardless of whether it is smart or not, it is law to display them now. If the FBI wants to find out where your drone has been flying, I'm quite certain that they have the means of proving it was your particular drone or not, via your controller and aircraft being confiscated and downloaded...

    Got a multi-charger, but not sure if it is earthed correctly

    I think that I would add a redundant earth connection, just to be safe - if you have the means. You've gone this far, and are feeling uneasy. Best to set your mind at ease !
