    Interest in DJI RC lanyard/strap bracket?

    I had something like this first. The eye hooks kept getting caught on my bag as I inserted the controller. This 3-d printed is nicely tapered and the screws recessed so they are no issues. "Plastic" can be amazingly strong. Honda even makes their pro-grade lawn mowers with a "plastic" body as it...

    Interest in DJI RC lanyard/strap bracket?

    I bought one of these from langcpht on eBay back during this discussion. And I have really loved it so far. It has been a game changer to be able to release the controller and be hands free at times. The other day I unintentionally gave it a real test - in strange circumstances the controller...

    Mavic Air 1 for inspections

    I personally have IOS products, but the buyer bought one of the new Samsung tablets to operate the Mavic Air. I believe it was a Galaxy Tab A7 I personally used an iPad mini 5 which still worked well for the drone and can be had for a realitvily lower price since it is not the latest version.

    Mavic Air 1 for inspections

    @Dangerly I actually just sold my original Mavic Air recently and helped the buyer get it working. The Android software had to be downloaded from DJI directly, not the play store. Or you could use other software like Litchi. @mwwm84 check out A Beginner's Guide to Drone Mapping Software - Drone...

    Mini 3 Castlecraig, Cromarty Firth, Scotland

    Might be easier to find a lost drone that way too. :) Just follow your nose. With all our abbreviations, I thought it was a different drone model than I was familiar with.

    Mini 3 Castlecraig, Cromarty Firth, Scotland

    Beautiful! DJI Mini 3 Pro + MFK. What is MFK? A quick google search sent me to a perfume store and I have not heard of putting perfume on your drone.

    SD Card

    In my old drone that shot 4k 30 I had a 128GB card and never had any issues with running out of space and no where near it even with several batteries and recharging while out. My new drone shoots 4k 60 so I bought a 256GB card and again it seems plenty. This time I actually bought a spare in...

    Do you hand catch your drone?

    I have had this happen to me and heard others with the same story. I believe the biggest factor is pulling the drone down a little immediately after grabbing it. The drone revs trying to regain altitude. I have learned that when you have grabbed the drone it helps to raise it a little and the...

    Do you hand catch your drone?

    Hand launch and catch 95% of the time. Helps to keep junk out of the props.

    M3P wouldn't land

    First, I would shine a light on the ground as the drone landed, such as a flashlight or your phones light. Secondly, in some of my other drones, I had the option to check the landing zone in the settings. However I do not see that in the Mini 3 Pro. Possibly under settings - Safety - Obstacle...

    Mini 3 Martian Landscape, Utah Desert Adventure

    Excellent video. I really liked the effect at 13:05! Tell us about it.

    Surprised that no one answered my free Mavic Air 1 charger ad.

    True, but that would limit my audience to those close enough to New Orleans to be willing to pick it up.
