    Downloading RC_2 Controller video

    I record to an SD card on the controller and just take it off and connect the card to my PC and just copy the files. I sometimes provide the videos to my customers when they want to know the elevation that photos or videos were taken from.

    *** New Forum *** NEO Pilots

    For the money, it's a great drone. And those that expect more from it are delusional. Sorry, I don't mean to offend anyone, but what more do you expect for the price?

    *** New Forum *** NEO Pilots

    I agree, I have heard that in several YouTube reviews. I ordered mine from DJI and for some reason they will not start shipping to USA until October 6th or 8th. But that is one of the first settings I plan to change.

    *** New Forum *** NEO Pilots

    I bought one mostly to do selfies. Mostly to capture videos on my motorcycle stopped or at very slow speed. Some complain that the camera isn’t great, but what do you expect for $199? I did buy the combo that comes with the extra batteries. Some of the videos I saw were actually pretty decent...

    Lowest Maximum Altitude Setting

    I don't think that I would use 10 feet for RTH. However on that job that I was doing in the 50 feet grid, as part of the job I was also walking down several streets and taking photos of homes. Just the front of some from several angles. The place was actually a Mobile Home Park and a potential...

    Lowest Maximum Altitude Setting

    Yes, you are correct, that if what I was referring. Maybe I should have also include the word setting. It would be nice if DJI allowed setting it to lower than 65 feet. At least down to 50 feet.

    USB charger.

    You can use a higher wattage one and the batteries will draw what they want. Having a higher wattage one will not damage the batteries and you have the added benefit of having one that will also work on a future bigger drone and have the added capability of being able to charge several devices...

    USB charger.

    Yes, 10W would be painfully slow. Do yourself a favor and buy much more than what you think you need. 18 watt charger isn't worth getting. You may get hooked on drones and buy larger ones that require more power and you would be able to charge multiple sets of batteries at once. I have the...

    Lowest Maximum Altitude Setting

    I had never really paid much attention, but recently noticed that both the Mini 4 Pro and Air 3 and I suppose others have a lowest maximum altitude of 65 feet and also for RTH. Last week I was doing in job in Controlled Airspace and was flying in a 50 feet grid. This the lowest grid I had...

    Minimum height warning ?

    I know the AVATA 2 will not fly into the ground easily, unless you are doing an extreme cinewhoop. I have flown mine many times at about 12-18 inches off the ground. I have heard many state the reflectivity over water causes confusion with height sensors and often crashes. No, I have never...

    RTH

    As other have set, it depends. But I normally have mine set to 140 feet. That can clear most power lines and trees. Of course trees can be taller, such as pines, and also big power transmission lines can be taller. You do have to decide in all cases, but I mostly just have mine set at 140 feet...

    What Clothing While Flying?

    I live in Florida where the weather is usually hot. I wear cargo shorts, Sanuk loafers, and a log sleeved shirt that has my company name and logo. I usually roll the sleeves up a little bit. Having a shirt with a company name and logo gives a more professional impression. I always have a...

    US lawmakers fear DJI drones will be weaponized

    I got a similar letter from my Representative stating that is was a National Security and needed to be banned. I replied and gave him a good piece of my mind. He never responded to my reply. Just getting ready to email my Senators.

    US lawmakers fear DJI drones will be weaponized

    China has satellites that can count the number of hairs on your head. They don't need drones to spy on us. This is just Elise Stefanik helping her friend at Skydio kill the competition which makes a better product than them.
