    We've likely created a small industry for reselling drones in South Korea

    Funny you should mention dw_store13 & the Neo 2 Fly More Combo (Drone only)+3 batteries+charging stand. I ordered this combo from them on Friday, Nov. 14, and received on Monday, Nov. 24th. Only addition fees were shipping & CA sales tax. OEM DJI packaging was intact, inside a generous wrapping...

    Best position to attach strobe light on Air 3S

    I have my top strobe where it is shown in your photo. Everything works fine. I have a bottom strobe just behind the gimbal, so I can see the drone at night. When I point the gimbal straight down to see my landings, the camera gets the bright flashes across it from the bottom strobe. D'OH! So...

    Stitching images to create a plan view

    AutoPano Pro was considered the reference standard since ~2005 to stitch panos. $100 back then & worth every penny. Just point it to a directory & it will find all panos available to stitch together. Many perspective & rendering options. Good GPU support for large & faster renderings. The...

    360 panos automatically shoot in JPEG?

    In-flight component temperature check - is this available in the Air 3S?

    Your Air 3S should display a warning notification DURING Flight if anything it measures is overheating. I was flying slowly next to a cliff face in Moab on a warm day. I got a warning that the Obstacle-Avoidance sensor(s) are overheating & it was disabling O.A. One warning said something "was...

    Air 3s Pacific Creek, Sierra Nevada, CA, USA

    A creek in the Sierra we found years ago. A spring visit about 2 weeks after the pass opens will reward you with the LOUD waterfall. :cool: My 1st Air 3S video & edited in DVR. I have a lot to learn yet! Someday I hope to fly the drone in smooth, cinematic motions. Catfish ...
