    Drone Drowned!

    If you had a strong enough rare earth magnet you might pick it up by a motor but I checked mine and can't find anything magnetic except the motor. How deep is the water?

    Drone Drowned!

    I thought it was worth something for insurance. Local divers would probably do it for nothing. Check with the local fire or rescue. If they don't do it they know someone that does.

    Drone Drowned!

    It was my understanding that the logs on the phone will take you to exactly where it went down.

    Keeping track of batteries

    I can't believe I'm crazy enough to try this again. Question: What will you do WHEN your batteries max flight time is down to XXX minutes? (X= the number of minutes you feel you have to do something) #1 Buy new ones and recycle the old ones? #2 Buy new ones and continue to use the old ones for...

    Captured unusual activity with my drone

    I have to agree with the guy noting the operator panned right to center the shot before there was anyway of knowing what was going on or what the guy was going to do, I call set up FAKE.

    Is all this battery charge level stuff just OCD hobbyists?

    I don't expect an accurate answer to this question but in the spirit of the question: How many drones have crashed because of the battery? (not fell out, came loose, contact problems, but failed internally)? Answers of speculation, facts, and percentages of each are accepted but, need to be...

    DJI fly 1.1.8

    I haven't flown much at all for a month or longer. Forgive me. Question is if the ver 1.1.8 is extra buggy/undesired at this time can I choose to just update to 1.1.6?

    Keeping track of batteries

    Question ya'll. How many min of flight time will you let your "equal" batteries go down to before you do some thing and what will you do to make your self happy again? If you buy new one/ones will you pitch/recycle the old ones or continue to use them?

    Keeping track of batteries

    Once again I don't know how many ways I can ask the same question and at this point in time I'm not going to dispute your numbers nor google search the accuracy of them at this point in time as it's irrelevant to my question. What are you going to do WHEN the 3 or however many you have get down...

    Keeping track of batteries

    Again what are you going to do when they're down to 10- 15 min per flight? Throw them away and buy 3 new ones? Buy 1- 3 new ones to supplement? Now you have a house of unequal batteries. I don't want my batteries to be equal.

    Keeping track of batteries

    So what? If you use them equally and they're wore down to say 10- 15 min flight time what do you do when you want to go for a long flight? Go buy a new battery? If you do that you're back in the same boat having batteries that are not equal, right?

    Keeping track of batteries

    Who doesn't change their mind? I look at it like this. If I'm going to cut a few boards or drill a few holes I'll probably put one of my worst batteries in. If I'm just flying around with no particular objective I'll use my worst battery. I don't want 3 batteries that are only good for 15 or 20...
