Thanks for sharing this. This is very useful feature I had overlooked in DR.

Dale, I am 76 and also own the Mavic 3. It is a great drone, but I rarely fly now that my fellow drone buddy passed away last year. It is challenging to find legal places to fly in California near me. I take it to Idaho where there is more BLM land, and I can fly more freely. I never renewed a...

Keep in mind that the ideal luminance for outdoor viewing is believed to be 2500 nits per the experts in the display industry. Getting to that with a larger screen also comes with considerable extra weight due to th4e extra batteries to support the size and brightness. You can mount it on a...

So for ACIS the input color should be DJI Dlog?

A friend of mine owned 3 drones when passed away last year. How does one unbind a drone for someone who no longer is alive to do this himself? I want to sell these drones for his widow, but this seems to be an impediment. We can guess at his DJI password, but beyond that it seems to be...

If you don’t log in to the app from internet, I think once per month, your range and altitude will be restricted. As long as you do that you can fly without a connection.

How do they start 5000 drones at nearly the same time? It can’t be by pressing a button like on a DJI drone.

Since I am not flying much lately, I charge my batteries fully every few months and let them self-discharge to about 55%. Then I put them in LiPo bags and put those bags into an ammo box. I saw a video a while ago about how an ammo box can explode so I have removed the seal from the edge so that...

So, you think lots of people are doing this? Or, some other entity is doing this with lots of drones? It seems more reasonable to me that people cannot judge size when viewing a drone at night.

Next time put the drone lower to show the fairway ahead. Add some music as well.

What hobbyist can make a drone that stays aloft for such long intervals, evades signal jamming, and can evade an F16? If it were the Chinese, then why would they fly a lame balloon over us last year rather than such high-tech drones?

If you were to fly a spy drone why would you be using a drone with strobe lights?

Even if it it has a conformal coating it is difficult to imagine that such a coating would continue to have no cracks under the vibration normal for a drone.

Looks like a good ad for the Skydio. I have tried unsuccessfully to track a dog with my Mavic 3. It takes quite a bit of skill to do this manually.

An external drive is a much better way to go. I have 3 and 4TB SSDs for my still images. A 2TB drive will fill up quickly if you really start to shoot more video. It isn’t that much more costly to go to 8TB. I have been happy with this one: Western Digital 10TB WD Red Plus NAS Internal Hard...
