    Drone collides AND grounds a firefighting Super Scooper in LA...

    Aren't you a peach. Insults aren't necessary - I clearly said it didn't make sense to me. I have two degrees, but they aren't in physics. I'm sure you know nothing of my specialties either, but I don't make fun of you. Try to be nice to others - it makes the world a better place.

    Thanks for the video that clearly shows it. Still hard to get my head around, but there it is.

    Drone collides AND grounds a firefighting Super Scooper in LA...

    My understanding of that is the drone should have been obliterated by the plane, not the other way around (plane has much more acceleration). If the plane was standing still and the drone was going 400mph I could see it doing that damage, but not the other way around. As it is, even if it the...

    Air 3S - Wondering why I upgraded.

    There is a pretty big thread over there of people complaining about it. Hopefully squeaky wheel gets the oil.....

    Air 3S - Wondering why I upgraded.

    Exactly. It's marketing, not truth. I believe my eyes over the marketing - I can plainly see the degradation from the lower bitrates showing up as moire/aliasing. They had similar issues with the Osmo action 5 (low bitrate) until enough people complained and they released an update that...

    DJI Flip drone confirmed by the FCC

    Same camera as the Mini 4 Pro. I dig the Lidar and the prop guards. I suspect this line will replace the Mini line.

    Air 3S - Wondering why I upgraded.

    That's marketing BS from DJI. They can't change the algorithm of HEVC - if they did it wouldn't work with any editing software because it would not be recognized.

    Air 3S - Wondering why I upgraded.

    You are incorrect. There is no AA filter on the 3 to "soften the image". DJI hasn't used AA filters on their drones for several generations now. I have seen this persistent moire in many videos from the A3s as well as artifacts towards the edges. DJI hobbled this sensor by giving it lower...

    Air 3S - Wondering why I upgraded.

    Does nobody have an issue with this? Borrowed from DJI forum, these are all screen grabs from 3s. This type of aliasing doesn't occur in the Air3.

    Air 3S - Wondering why I upgraded.

    Just watched that. I have to laugh. He says no banding in Air3 shot, when it obviously has more banding than the Air3. In the first set of images, he claims Air3 has more detailed image - it is obviously over sharpened, but not more detailed. Not a very good comparison.

    "bound or unbound" that is the question.

    If the bound account is still logged into the controller/app, the seller can easily unbind the drone before sending it to you. I recently purchased a refurb and it was bound, and it was easy to unbind it and then log out of the account in order to bind it to mine.

    Air 3S - Wondering why I upgraded.

    I've seen too many videos from the 3S showing moire and ugly artifacts. Bigger sensor hobbled by lower bitrate and aliasing filter removed. I'm sticking with the Air 3.

    Good deal or scam?

    Is this a scam or a good deal? https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07FRWP5HX?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title&th=1

    Thinking of buying a Mini 4 Pro- should I wait? Pro 5 on the horizon?

    This. If the CCP bill passes, you won't be able to buy new drones from DJI. Best bet at the moment is to buy one now. The bill only restricts new drones.
