A skin is one of the least expensive and most underrated of all possible upgrades. A careful choice can mean the difference between hassle free flying or having the craft knocked out of the air by a bird of prey. I have my MA continually visited by eagles and hawks that fly a significantly long...

Your down time might be effectively used practicing on a sim:)

****, I forgot my screwdriver... You know the propaganda stream is important when you see this level of sophistication and investment to deliver it.

Technically significant. I may have missed it but...what is the point?

Would be interesting to see the full list of prescriptions (and other medication) the pilot may have had in his blood stream. This behaviour sounds earily similar to the attitude of some professional athletes who 'tank up' before a game.

It's a nice piece. Constructive feedback would be to buy a set of neutral density filters and learn how and when to use them. Second point is never to edit on a note change unless you want to drive home a point...editing on a music change is like adding !! at the end of a sentence. If there...

The police and regulators are the only hysterical parties, but then we've been laughing at them for years. Now this is a verry long shot but the best thing they could do is to come out and say something to this effect: "The vast majority of UAV pilots (drones are UAVs that kill) are...

At your own risk, caution dictates otherwise.

Some free advice for you, my friend. These batteries are not meant to be run down to 0% or even close. Doing so will severely reduce the number of useful cycles, in addition to an increased likelihood of erratic behavior or unexpected battery faliure at some point. You should consider 20% as...

I fly air gap using Crystalsky, also calibrated whenever the MA asks for it. It would be very helpful for DJI to weigh in on the topic of the longstanding MA compass issue since everything else thus far are only guesses. If it's a hardware flaw that can't be fixed we need to know.

That pic is just the 'hills' around where I'm staying, they average 1,000' elevation. These pics are of the vocano.

I shoot both and keep recording for the entire flight, chopping off the 'dead wood' later. For the most part I am not flying to a script, although some of the scenery is so outstanding I will first reconnoiter the area and determine the best way to fly it and then capture the footage I want with...

It's possible I don't have an entirely accurate recollection of the event. The climb was difficult, the oxygen lean at 4100m for a sea level acclimatized body, and recalibrating seemed to take forever. I continued however because we all needed a rest and I figured I might as well keep trying...

That’s actually a significant challenge, especially shooting 4K. And it’s not enough to have it all on a few hard drives, redundance is mandatory. The cloud is hardly an effective or reliable choice. As a result I have become more judicious with the footage I choose to keep. Inevitably a UAV...
