    New Ipad pro 2 10.5

    Just saw this maybe it helps. Cool kid, very professional and I enjoy his videos for rookies.

    My attempt at hand catch landing gear

    Is it just me or do we all need our fingers in tact to fly again? Get some chain mail gloves for scaling fish to add to your boat kit IMO.

    New Ipad pro 2 10.5

    I went with the ipad pro 10.5" after app crashes that messed up flight log, RTH, and landing control somehow on my Samsung s7 Active. So far it is working great and no it is not bright enough in sun light. I can see it but I can't really enjoy the display without a sunshade. No clue what...

    New Mavic, should I update firmware?

    Updating can go both ways. If you're running versions 700+ then you can run into an issue eventually requiring an update to get in the air. Example here: "In NFZ" - Was not in NFZ They got ya by the curly ones basically. Best advice is build your own quad after learning to fly a cheap micro...

    Return to Home Failure

    Hopefully none of this RTH (in app failure) happens again, nor a loss from such a short range that my micro quads can handle lol. I also realized I did have a giant piece of metal right next to me. About 1000lbs of iron/magnesium alloy... and another 2000lbs sheet steel in corrugated, high...

    Return to Home Failure

    I ended up going with ipad pro 10.5 and a mavic mount and anker cable (plus 4 32gb cards to swap with each battery I have if I don't have time to back up to the ipad storage). I also rolled the firmware back because if it ain't broke don't fix it. If anyone is looking at ipads, holy crap they...

    New Mavic, should I update firmware?

    A guy from Brazil had a failure to RTH, same as me, he rolled back firmware because his opinion and experience is that the 0900 firmware is glitching RTH. Here is his statement, from my very taxing first post on this forum... no comment lol. He, as well as another fellow were very very...

    Return to Home Failure

    DJI Flight Log Viewer - PhantomHelp.com So this log ends 700ft from home, but no I never retrieved my bird out of that field. I flew it back LoS w/no camera and landed it safely as I explained to begin with. All my numbers stated earlier were **** close, didn't know my memory still worked...

    Return to Home Failure

    Sorry trying to get flight log things posted up, been looking at them on some upload sites. No, I stated I used the RTH on the phone/app and completely forgot the RTH button is even on the controller. Was more worried about flying LoS back in before it could possibly lose more control.

    Return to Home Failure

    Happily, once I return home tonight I will post as promised earlier in this thread. I'm busy running between multiple locations of my business and wish I had the ability to pull over and post it right now but that is not an ability available today. I look forward to the criticism and education...

    Return to Home Failure

    Again, so sorry, offense not intended. Its just the fallacy presented so far of not using calibration at new locations, after bumpy car driven transportation, is failing to make sense to me based on two reasons: 1.) common sense method 2.) lack of evidence, circumstances, and examples of a bad...

    Return to Home Failure

    Yes I also asked for evidence, examples, and in what way calibrating it for better or same indication on the UI could cause problems, earlier in this very thread. So sorry to offend but I'm not a fan of sensitive, defensive, nor inaccurate "facts". Again, so sorry to offend. Not my intention...

    Return to Home Failure

    I'll extract the flight log as suggested early on. This will happen some time this evening. The life of a small business owner is busy. Ty for any help diagnosing what I've done wrong. I appreciate all help and will definitely use the transmitter rth press and hold method in the future. As...

    Return to Home Failure

    Your car tunes itself up depending on temperature, driving attitude, fuel grade, etc etc even on newer cars based on a route it memorizes and predicts based on your daily commute. EVERY TIME YOU DRIVE IT. Sorry, I tune cars for a hobby too. I've had many many motors and especially with 2014+...
