The only time I’ve ever been prompted for a compass calibration is when I tried to take off from a metal object like my car hood or one time even a power distribution/transformer box. I’ve never been prompted for one otherwise.

They offered to send me replacement parts for my case. We didn’t correspond about the potential damage to my M2P. The drone/controller spent last night in the plenum of my HVAC, after dehumidifier and HEPA filter. I pulled it out this afternoon and it looks dry. I hovered it for a battery to...

Pelican is superior in my opinion. I’ve had and used many Pelican cases in military, public safety and personal life. I’ve had 1 Pelican fail from old age, no other failures. Don’t get me wrong, I think GPC cases are good, but I don’t think they are a direct comparison to Pelican.

Just want to give a heads up for a problem I encountered this weekend. So let’s say you purchase the very best protection you can for your drone or at least what I think should be good protection. You load your drone in the back of your jeep that doesn’t have a top for an eight hour trip in the...

I have not. Never another pilot around to handle the photo/video work.

In lithium batteries, .5 volts is huge.

Cool, another climber here. Not always in spurs.

Very interested. Career Fire Captain, IMT DIVS at T1 level, USCG Veteran, from Eastern WA State. I’ll be in touch as soon as I finish my 107.

Look for a local arborist that climbs. It’ll likely cost you a hundred or 2. If you need help finding someone, I’m on some forums with other tree climbers/ arborists. Ping me and I can reach out to somebody in that area. Good luck.

[Removed by Admin] Healing happens in lots of ways. What makes sense to you may not to someone else. Have a little respect for a guy sharing what he has for memories of a friend. Yes, it’s an example of less than responsible drone use, he already knows that. May your friend RIP.

I think the main issue is my lack of experience with the DNG files. I restarted my iPad and it is loading the JPEG‘s fine now. I’ll just shoot JPEGs until I figure out how to deal with the DNG files. Thanks for all the very timely help. Fly safe.

DNG shows 960x641 JPEG shows 5472x3648 I guess I need to figure out DNG vs RAW. Ok, just found that there is a low resolution JPEG built into the DNG file that will open/preview if you don’t open with a program capable of opening the full DNG file.

I’m also not able to see any photos on my iPad Pro, but I can on my PC. I have reset camera settings and that changed the menus slightly, maybe an update changed stuff? Still working on this.

Yes, DCIM folder on card.
