    An ideal Tablet.

    Samsung tab S6 here, the 867p Verizon model. Works great, has GPS the OLED is bright at around 600nits. 470 grams so not lightweight but manageable. These are starting to price below 300 in great used shape. I paid 259 on ebay no PEN or case. Found a $29 gesture compatible Bluetooth pen. The...

    MAVIC MINI: Anyone modified the shell / colour ?

    Skinned in a subdued orange. Got the kit from Amazon for around $20 3m air release so you can adjust and remove until you get junk on the sticker side. Easy to see on ground & air strobe covers visible in daytime well over 800 ft. Brand MIGHTY SKINS & RCStyle strobe also around $20 Should be...

    What Do You Do if You See Commercial Enterprise Flying Without Part 107 Certificate

    Unless you see them doing something clearly unsafe or they threaten your business directly just move on. Two good reasons, One - Getting someone in trouble will create attention usually in a negative way for all of us as politicians, media outlets and law enforcement tend to overreact without...

    Mini frame mod for experienced builders

    Wonder if deep freezing the nylon would make it more millable? A bit of liquid nitrogen spray at intervals. Dunno.

    Do not keep and Batteries in the Mini or charging Hub

    Now that we know it seems more like a feature to me. I often want that full charge after 3 days but can manage the situation and accept the battery repercussions if not observed. I should add at the moment I only have the one battery until I fully decide the Mini 2 is where I'm staying.

    Mini 2 Coordinated turn on DJI FPV

    Huh, I would have possibly not even tested FPV now I see a value in that look. I might want that for low chase following a bike or runner. Thanks.

    3d printed Mini Strobe Brackets

    Yeah, bigger build plate is nice as the ender is limited to about 9" however there is a add on 3rd party called the ender extender that gets you around 16" at 3 axis for like $157. later if you need build space while saving you I think like $400 from starting with a bigger Creality model. As so...

    3d printed Mini Strobe Brackets

    Be sure it's the "Ender 3 v2" though, the oher models are not as good and it will be like buying the printer that's most popular and easyist to find support on. If your a "I gotta have the best rather than the majority sweetheart Prussa makes a more refined machine you may ever really need for...

    3d printed Mini Strobe Brackets

    Spend a little bit more and get the Creality Ender 3 v2 as a entry part. Out of the box they just work! Don't complicate it. Later, 'for really for long term durability & added versatility' buy the blue bowden tube, yellow springs and all metal extruder kit for about $60 after you really get...

    Mini 2 Sun hood around the gimbal

    Good point. but you will get some high wind gimbal shelter and perhaps in the odd situation a small bit of masking tape may cover that sun issue. But let's hope someone posts a nice light optimised hood .STL file for 3D printing. I will continue to look for a working hood but my need was wind...

    Mini 2 Sun hood around the gimbal

    The only one I saw on Amazon was " net weight 4 grams", well suited for the Mini 2 to keep under 249. PGYTECH Huaye Mavic Mini Lens Hood Protective Cover Also worth noting the Firehouse Technology ARC Red Strobe FAA 107 compliant at a mere 4 grams still has you below 249g limit on a Mini 2, if...

    Use apple air tags to locate lost drone?

    Depending on adoption. I live in rural Maine and TILE has unusually good coverage via app users mesh PAN even with bluetooth. I see in the dead of winter a average of 10+ active app users over around a 10 mile radius. Come summer and tourism it's well over 60 in my area. This essentially means...

    Excellent Mavic Mini Case

    I just got a hard case on Amazon that fits just the essentials. A mere $27. I bought the $449. "fly 'less' kit" just one battery and not even a charger. Turns out a Samsung quick charger is perfect to add as your charger. Back to the case, Material: ABS+ PP+EVA of the thickness and style of...

    Probably the stupidest FM case mod to stop the warping props, but it works!

    Now get a 3D printer and P)OW all kinds of things to make for this hobby. Try the Creality Ender 3 v2. I did and for a bit less than this drone you just filled the no fly, rainy day doldrums. Brilliant mod.
