    From Video Games To Drones...

    No, that's been the conventional thinking but the study suggests that it's an inherent trait so some people seemed to be wired for non-inverted and some for inverted rather what you were used to first. They suggest trying the opposite way for a bit since it may work better for you although I've...

    I saw a Mavic pro 5

    Or he was just winding you up because it's extremely unlikely it was what he claimed and the specification he told for the drone and separate camera are likely nonsense as well.

    Avata 360

    I've never really managed to get 360 cameras working the way I want because they tend to up quite soft once I have the shot I want due to them stretching a very wide field of view onto a small sensor. I've been following the Osmo 360 recently since it uses the same accessories as the standard...

    From Video Games To Drones...

    There was a recent study looking into inverted controls and believes it's based on the way your brain thinks not what you were originally used to: https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/study-into-inverted-versus-uninverted-controls-suggests-we-can-stop-having-pointless-arguments-about-it Coming...

    Autelrobotics , fraud?

    Yes, they announced they are exiting the consumer market: https://fpvexplorers.com/autel-evo-nano-lite-discontinued/

    Crazy or genius...what do you think?

    Putting aside any feelings for Musk and Tesla I don't think it makes any sense for them to move into this market. Manufacturing drones would be significantly different to any of the existing products and there's no guarantees that DJI will continue to be blocked in the US leading to a...

    No DJI drones anywhere???

    If it an item is sold by a third party seller but it's fulfilled by Amazon that means it's Amazon's responsibility to correctly deliver the item because they stock the item in their warehouses and they ship the item. This means if a seller review is referencing the delivery of the item, Amazon...

    Autelrobotics , fraud?

    Unfortunately so: https://www.digitalcameraworld.com/drones/one-of-the-best-non-dji-drones-has-just-got-the-axe-this-drone-brand-has-discontinued-nearly-all-of-its-consumer-drones I remember considering a GoPro Karma or the original Mavic...boy would that have been a mistake if I'd gone with...

    Would You Take your Mini 4 Pro to Zimbabwe next week?

    Your full name is in the letter in case that concerns you. I'm quite a risk averse person and given your minor planned use of the drone if it was me I'd leave it at home. You say you're nervous about it and I know I would be too so it's one less issue to worry about.

    Autelrobotics , fraud?

    Because Autel are a much smaller company with a far smaller range that likely doesn't justify them using resellers and taking a cut, as of last month Autel are exiting the consumer drone market so there's even less reason for them to be using resellers.

    Autelrobotics , fraud?

    I'm lost, nothing in your post refers to anything in my post - did you quote the wrong one? I never bought a drone reseller nor made any comments about genuine resellers. I was talking about DJI scam sites which they are numerous ones where people have put orders in and never received a drone...

    Autelrobotics , fraud?

    There's loads of DJI scam sites as well and I've seen a number of people scammed here and elsewhere unfortunately. The scammers also seem to be taking advantage of the problems in the US since buyers are struggling to get the drones from official sources so are looking elsewhere. It may stand...

    Autelrobotics , fraud?

    It looks like a scam site to me. It's not always 100% certain and I'm not familiar with Autel drones but there's a few red flags that immediately stand out, the first is massive discounts across a wide range of products which is extremely unlikely. Another is the high pressure sales making out...

    Crazy to buy the smallest package?

    Which country are you in? Looking at the UK packages the creator combo comes with the 240w charger. DJI list the charging times here: https://support.dji.com/help/content?customId=en-us03400006769&spaceId=34&re=US&lang=en I'm not 100% on this but I think you'd need the charging hub to...

    What more do you need from a recreation drone?

    That's certainly not the reason, firstly Samsung are able to offer stabilisation on their telephoto lenses and secondly DJI have superior stabilisation through the mechanical gimbal which already has no problems with telephoto focal lengths on their other models. Going back to the original...
