This could be handy - thought I would share. Alphabet subsidiary trained AI to predict wind output 36 hours in advance

I'm a technical/IT guy by trade but the last Apple product I've used at all was an Apple ][...seriously. I am finally getting a dose of iOS which was one of my reasons for plunking down $1500 for a tablet...another reason was for operating the drone. I had too many instances where I found...

$6 a month for the Whistle cellular tracker doing double duty on my dog. I printed the red bracket that snaps on the battery buttons. The rechargeable trackers are approx $60 to buy.

Me either...I expect a newer version of the DJI 4 Pro app needs to be released in the play store. IOS stuff seems to be the first to get DJI attention.

I've been trying to work my way through all of the features and functions with my Mavic 2 Zoom so that I can eventually know what I'm doing in any situation using Litchi or DJI 4 Go. FTR - I've pretty much decided to use DJI 4 Go for everything except Waypoint missions. Anyway - I did my first...

I fly in flat wooded areas and tend to keep the AC at or near max altitude to help reduce the volume of foliage between the drone and controller. There is ALWAYS at least a few trees in the way at my end. I can reliably get about a mile before the connection starts to get unstable. Interference...

My paintball idea could work...and wouldn't risk electrocution or even damage to the powerline....so there! :)

I've been swapping between Litchi and DJI Pro 4 in addition to being inexperienced. I'm still deciding on which app I'll end up using most of the time and don't claim to know what I'm doing in either. I use Android(Galaxy S9+) and sometimes the white DJI Goggles. I haven't had any problems...

I guess I'm the only one that finds them strangely erotic....

Just a thought based on my untested contingency-plan for getting stuck in a tree. A paintball gun. Not sure if the range would be adequate if it really is 200' up but it wouldn't involve a risk of electrocution. The wire behind the camera might keep it from coming loose but there is little risk...

So...in summary - Do I need to calibrate or not?

I had similar problems with H.265. I had to load a non-standard codec to get my win10 box to view the video shot. I use Davinci Resolve and it had problems with clips in H.265 even after the codec was installed. It didn't throw errors - just hangs some and seems to choke on it almost as if I had...

10 Times Drones Shut Down Airports - Listverse

Thanks to all for the replies. About the range with the goggles: I also read where they affected the range. I can't say for sure if I noticed a difference in range yet but like I said - I've only got a few flights with them. I did have one incident when flying 2000' or so away with trees in the...
