I thought this thread would have died by now. Because of the last few posts I'll add this back story. I 1st started looking at EXO drones because they were supposedly made in the USA. He was the 1st dealer I found in a quick search and called. His main operation is supplying drone operators...

Yeah, that's really true, I'm empathic enough to see both sides. I can't expect someone work for free, it's just that he gave me the impression on the 1st call that he was happy to get a new guy on the right path, his parting words then were; if you have any questions feel free to call and I'll...

Kind of an old thread. I've lived in Cave Creek at the foot of Black Mtn since '91. Got into serious 4X4 Wheelin' in '02. Been a lot of places, seen a LOT of things. Ready to get back into Wheelin' early next year. Bought the M2Z to scout ahead on old/new trails to make sure there's no...

Yeah, he did say at least 2X during the call in an oblique manner that "time is money". Obviouly not on my Go-To-List anymore. He DID seem like such a nice helpful guy at first.

Yeah, ... that's obvious. I try to be a student-of-human-nature, and try to look at things from the other's POV. However, I would be a bit, ... how can I say it, ... EMBARASSED to say that to someone seeking my advice after I told them to call me anytime if they had questions. Just wanted to...

I had established a brief rapport with the owner of an out-of-state commercial drone operation. Called him yesterday about his opinion regarding how I could get assistance handling frustrating update issues with the M2Z. I was somewhat taken back by his position. I told him I bought a VERY...

Hey Greg, I contacted my accountant about my posting here, and she asked me for a copy of my OP. She agreed with my assessment of the events, ... with the exception of my use of the word "refused" which she felt was "Strong", being an old Sailor, I don't mince words sometimes. She remembered...

By registering it I meant that when she got to the final point of the FAA portal to declare recreational pilot status, the final box would not accept her click it to finalize no matter what she did. I'd say I'm only repeating what was said to me at the time.

Thanks, I'll pass your contact info to her. We both live in Cave Creek at the foot of Black Mtn. Thanks YP, Can't say much about her methodology. The new technology may be a little daunting to grasp at first for a newbie.

My accountant has no experience flying a drone. She is VERY competent navigating all facets of operating a PC for her profession. She recently bought my low hour M2Z with all the bells and whistles including a Smart Controller (as well as the std one). I never flew it myself and only bought...

This was the only vid that stressed the Lipo Bag idea. I can see why it's a good idea. He even suggested putting the bag in a metal ammo can while charging. It gives me cause for a pause and reconsider storing the hard case in a safe with batts in it. A house fire might have serious...

Watched a few vids on charging today. This one seemed thorough for sure, ... just a little extreme. Any thoughts, do you follow these practices ...

As stated in the title. I just got the package I recently bought. 1st time drone flyer. I got the Powerextra home charger in the package, and it seems to have a strong reputation. Now I need a unit to charge M2Z batteries and Smart Controller in the field. Thanks !

When someone says a drone has a 6 mile range, is that 6 miles for reliable LOS connectivity for signal between drone and controller? What about altitude claims? Not that I would try and find out 1st hand due to safe handling practices. If this is not the case, why do suppliers pump up...

THANKS for the input! I don't plan on any purchases that aren't really warranted. I'm just trying to educate myself about options to fine-tune the platform for the type of usage I envision. I have no actual drone experience, and will not even see the unit for another 1-3 days. Reading my...
