(Oh, in summary? That means they can force your DJI stuff to land and know where you flew from)

From their site... Kind of gives away the farm. I’m NDA’d on tech I’ve built, but analyzing other people’s stuff and common-knowledge stuff is fine... So! What they have are a variety of RF receivers and small-scale phased-array radars which are able to identify paired transceiver signals...

You TL;DR’d again. Not wasting my time on your metaphysics. Your concerns are clearly addressed in the video I posted.

Vid, because 1. Beer; and 2. Flex ?: Demos most of the stuff you need, in a completely inexplicable way. Going down to 0.1A works, so I’d actually direct charge from solar and save on the power losses you’d get from multiple boost/buck converters, internal resistance of intermediary...

Re-read, plz. TL;DR got you.

Trigger warning! I’m a rocket surgeon. If this terrifies you, move along ? I’ve built some pretty similar kits for SAR situations in the backcountry. So... To charge a Mavic 2 battery you just need any kind of input source (probably a Lithium Ion pack that maxes at your panel’s max...

For the record, I am entirely in favor of the use of hypergolic fuels for chinese lanterns. And Zeppelins. You just can’t go wrong with hypergolics these days.

Works fine in wilderness areas here; you can download maps beforehand if you want.

By the sticks, duh! Oh, wait... The two mountpoints on the bottom are threaded the same, so you can just screw in a short M4 into the QR plate after removing the 1/4-20 that comes with it. Looks like my IPEX4 adapters are just a few stops away, I’ll post something here/to thingiverse once I...

They’re M4-0.7 screws/threads, I’m just going to put a manfrotto QR plate on with one of them I have around. https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/554141-REG/Manfrotto_323_323_RC2_System_Quick.html/ Nifty for using with thick gloves too

Interesting. Mine have worked great. Different batches? No standard U.FL/IPEX, they went with IPEX4 for the RX/TX; IPEX for wifi (AFAICT without pulling more off). All you have to do is pull off the easy access panel and the antennae are on the right under the plastic block with two phillip’s...

Nice I last got this set from Amazon because prime shipping, but I’m set up to build my own as well in case it’s IPEX4 (darn you FrSky!) or proprietary. Hopefully it’s just the nice clean IPEX that’s in the mavic 2’s. Pack of 4 RF U.FL(IPEX/IPX) Mini PCI to RP-SMA Female Pigtail Antenna Wi-Fi...

Definitely. I’ve been wondering about a 3D printed mount, possibly attaching at the threads on the bottom or mounting in place of the current antennas. The switch is a good idea; depending on what’s under that bottom panel and slot I may go that way or add some exposed UFL jacks. The...

Same here, delayed by customs from arriving yesterday. I’ll record it and post Monday (US/mountain)
