I was working my way through my photography forums this morning, when I came across this post on DIYP.net: https://www.diyphotography.net/essential-pda-for-every-photographer/ It concerns a small PDA device made to play games, but can also display files, play music, and other computer like...

Last week, I saw multiple advertisements in my facebook timeline for a company that was selling Mini 3s and 4s for $55.. I cant remeber the name of the company, but their add indicated that they had sold 55, and the counter was incrementing. What was the scam? Were they just trying to steal the...

I am curious if anyone is aware of the hardware/software needed to link a drone up to a video system, such as that which is used in indoor arenas during sports events. I am interested in acquiring video for scoreboards during timeouts, intermission contests, and/or player introductions. I know...

I am also a photographer that has been waiting to buy my first drone. I have been meaning to do this exact mathematical gymnastics as I tried to pick between these two devices. I had been confused because I had seen the zoom capability of the Zoom to be either 2x or 4x. I was assuming that it...

Because megapixels aren't everything. A Nikon D5 is 21 mega pixels, and a Nikon D3400 is 24 mega pixels. But the D5 is a professional camera that exceeds the output of the entry level D3400 in every facet, by a wide margin. (and you pay about 10 times more for the D5.) Its like wondering if...

This whole thing is so weird. If you are DJI, why do you essentially let a product announcement be made by the release of a vendors advertisement? Did no one at DJI realize that the catalog was due to be released? Surely there were a warning from Argos. You would think that DJI would make...

I am totally off the Enterprise rumor. I believe that if it existed, it would have been in the catalog.

I feel for you Skinejosh78. I'm not sure how to offer prices for used drones. If you look on CraigsList, everything is brand new, only flown a couple of times, and they have $1600 invested in it. I would guess that things would be a little more trustworthy around here.

I am this guy from Wednesday. I am in a strange position. The engineering firm that I work for is doing some work for a power plant to perform an engineering evaluation to allow the use of an Elios drone within the power plant. While writing this evaluation, I saw a desire for the plant to want...

I'm thinking about going to look at one, that I think is going to bee too expensive. I was just curious. Is there some kind of diagnostic that I can run on a Mavic to see if it has had any kinds of problems? Anything that I need to look out for? Thanks for your help.

I can't argue with anything that you say. Were it not for the Mavic refresh, I would probably do that. I do have time. It would probably be three months before my company could complete the engineering evaluation to perform drone flights outside the buildings. I will probably give it 2 or 3...

I am in a strange position. The engineering firm that I work for is doing some work for a power plant to perform an engineering evaluation to allow the use of an Elios drone within the power plant. While writing this evaluation, I saw a desire for the plant to want to also perform some flights...

Yeah, I didn't see anything there that would make me pull the trigger. I think that I will wait and see what the new model reveal might be, and if it isn't interesting, this whole drone thing just might not be for me.

I've been to the Amazon Prime Day site, but haven't seen a DJI drone of any type. I did see a couple of knock-offs. Did I just miss it?
