    Selling Online vs In Person

    I guess my concern is dealing with a dispute via PayPal. That's why I'm willing to drive a few hours to meet up with someone if within range. One out of many transactions shouldn't scare me off.Thank you for sharing your experience.

    Electrical contacts of the drone with the battery.

    Not all contact cleaners are created equal. Repaid1 has given the best advice, use DeoxIT Gold. Others have agreed. I used to own an electronics repair company. You'd think I was a snake-oil salesman with all the praise I've given this stuff. Before the Gold, Caig had some red stuff which...

    Are you a "thumber" or a "pincher"?

    Interesting. I never thought about it, but I'm a pincher. I've tried "thumbing", but I felt like they might slip off the controls. I'm also afraid of heights, although I've never just fallen down while walking or standing.

    Selling Online vs In Person

    I'm willing to drive a couple hundred miles to meet someone, but living in central Texas, that means I'm still limited to sales in Texas! Of course, if the other party is up for a road trip, it would be beneficial for both of us.

    Selling Online vs In Person

    I appreciate the feedback and advice. This is why my shed, garage, closets, etc. are full of stuff I thought I "needed" but rarely, if ever, used.

    Selling Online vs In Person

    Thanks for the advice of videotaping the packing and sealing. Great idea. Who pays the PayPal fees? I guess like everything else in this world, it's negotiable?

    Selling Online vs In Person

    For those who've sold online, how do you typically get paid? I've only sold locally before, not online. What I have to offer will reach a much broader audience on a brand/device-specific platform, but I have concerns with handling the transaction. I would appreciate advice from those...

    Good comfortable lanyard?

    I use the "Sunnylife Lanyard Neck Strap for DJI Smart Controller Mavic 2 PRO & Zoom Drone". Purchased off Amazon for $10. Got a "Jesykin Intelligent Controller Carrying Case Hard Shell Box for DJI Smart Controller Accessories" to put it in. Works great. Five stars. That's probably why they're no...

    Ring is making a new product. A camera drone..

    My understanding is this drone is for indoor use only, so not subject to airspace regulations.

    Ring is making a new product. A camera drone..

    One of the articles I read said "When you first get the device, you build a map of your home for it to follow...". Sounds like similar technology currently used by robotic vacuums, such as Roomba, but with a vertical component. Suggested possible uses are confirming devices such as the coffee...

    Hello from Central Texas

    I've followed MavicPilots' forums for a long time, purchased items from vendors found through here, and decided it's time to join the party instead of looking in from the outside. I first owned a MP1 with the fly more kit, then last year purchased the MP2 w/Smart Controller and fly more kit...
