I agree.

So I haven’t flown my mini 2 for a while. Of the 3 batteries, one was at 0%. I charged it up to 100%. Checked the battery on controller, it showed full and 100%. Was in the air for a minute and got the low battery warning, forced landing. Luckily I was only a few hundred yds away. Now it shows...

I have the Viture pro glasses(mainly for the diopter adjustment). Also got an adapter for the hdmi output. Turns out didn’t need it. I plugged the glasses cable directly into the usb-c input on the bottom of the RC pro 2 controller. Works fine. My son has the Rayneo ones, will try those later...

Got my neo 2 from K-wave store on eBay. No issues, they contacted me when they shipped. Took about 6 days to get to me in Cali. No import fees. Pretty sure those are cooked into their price and shipping costs. Payment wise, my eBay account is connected to my credit card so if there was a problem...

Has anyone used the glasses with the RC pro 2 controller? Would like to try but not sure which port to put the usb-c cord in. I have a HDMI to usb-c adapter so could plug it into either the usb-c port or the hdmi/adapter to usb-c port. Since the glasses require power from the controller I would...

That’s nothing. There’s a creator combo on EBAY right now for $1960 plus $43 shipping. Located in the US. No reviews and joined 3 days ago. Pretty certain this is a scam.

So I tried it again. Set max height to 60m, turned off OA, set to optimal. Went out a couple hundred meters at 30m. It came back at 44m. Next I turned on OA left it on optimal, went out same distance and height of 30m. It came back at 30m. Go figure. For the heck of it I tried my Air 3. Max...

That’s exactly what mine did. Tried pulling the down stick, kept going up. My max altitude is set high because I had did some mountain flying. I suspect it’s the optimal setting. Going to try my Air 3 tonight,see if that has the same issue. Will also set max altitude to 120.

So I thought I’d try a night flight in my small town. RTH was set at 45m in optimal mode. I’m on a hill so I flew out over the town for about 500m.AGL was maybe 80-90m. Got some video and hit RTH. Figured it would cruise back at that altitude. Was watching the aircraft lights and noticed the...

Hers the link to his video. He is in Cleveland national forest. Pretty Sure you can fly there. He does a lot of drone videos on his channel mostly off roading. Most of the land around me is BLM, except of course Joshua Tree national park.

So I was watching a YouTube video, off-roader in a national forest. He does a lot of drone shots in his videos. He was at a location called high point in the Palomar mountains. There’s a lookout tower there. He wanted to fly his drone in the area. The Rangers said no because the area is...

I crashed my mini 5 just last weekend. Went sideways into a power cable. Dropped about 30 ft onto the desert floor. Broke both left arms and the gimbal frame rubber mount. One arm was easy to repair by epoxying the main arm sleeve back in. The other arm was worse but managed to epoxy it...

Met President Regan and Nancy after he became a private citizen. I was a phone system tech, repair work at their residence. He was a very friendly person, Nancy not so much. Also a bunch of other celebrities that I really don’t remember since I worked in that uppity part of town. Much preferred...
