    Which shutter speed did I use again?

    I use a small free program called mediainfo. It gives information on any video such as bit rate, resolution and frame rate.

    Show Off Your Case

    They were out of plasti dip so I used liquid tape from harbor freight. Used about 3/4 of the 6 oz can.

    Show Off Your Case

    Harbor Freight pick and pluck. Wanted a case where I could leave the arms extended and the remote control sticks on. Works great.

    UAV app not very accurate

    Control Stick modes seem wrong to me

    I used to fly older drones that had no telemetry and used Mode 2. I like having the main flight controls on my right hand I might see if I can modify mode 2 to behave more like a helicopter. When I used to fly fixed wing, the adverse yaw when turning from the upwind leg to the crosswind leg...

    Control Stick modes seem wrong to me

    I know mode 2 is the default mode but wouldn't it make more sense to swap the roll and yaw in mode 2 from the right and left sticks? This way it would more mimic a real helicopters control, especially now with camera telemetry that makes you feel like you are in a cockpit. You use the right...
