    Does anybody else feel DJI are cutting it a bit close with the Low Battery RTH

    18650 can be safely discharged down to 3.0 volts per cell. They are very forgiving batteries. While they do not pack the punch as a lipo , they can deliver constant energy while lipos delivery high burst then start getting lower current as it discharged. I've made several huge packs for long...

    Not the best first drone experience

    My first Phantom 4 standard has a direct return due to gimbal problems. DJI replaced it and comp me a little extra for the month wait.

    Not the best first drone experience

    Most likely all the wires on the main board are not plugged in. Every company had bad batches. They do not QC check every one off the line. It's done in batches. Much as it sucks. Get DJI to replace it.

    Mavic Mini Confirmed! Latest Details

    Guess no one here heard of the emax tiny hawk or betafpv85. I've had both of these sub 100 mm micro drones and they handle up to 8mpg using 2s lipo and 0803 or 1102 brushless motors on 40mm props. The notion of this new craft not able to handle wind is absurd. If I can take a emax tinyhawk in...

    Mavic Mini Announcement October 30th!

    Fly before you buy? I'm sort of lost. Does that mean people are allowed at certain stores to demo the unit before buying.

    Bestbuy for me. Even if I have to wait a month. I prefer local return and warranty over online wait.

    Mavic Mini Announcement October 30th!

    I'm curious is it's not already stocked at local stores like bestbuy and online Newegg for shipment as soon as it's announced. Also would YouTubers already have theirs for day 1 review?

    Lol no , it all comes down to law abiding citizens refusing to let government have more control. Same as the war on 2A that always being pushed to remove personal protection guns from law abiding citizens because of a few morons. You can pass as many laws as you like but in the long run , it...

    Mavic Mini Confirmed! Latest Details

    I have to agree that point. Many people feel as if that's more control of their freedom and personal liberty by the government. I did not register and refuse too. Me flying on my own property is my business and not the government. Their hands are already deep enough in my pocket. Can't...

    Mavic Mini Confirmed! Latest Details

    I can not argue that point with you. I see this as a starter drone for someone wanting to get into the hobby but not spend near a grand to begin like I did between fatshark goggles , frsky r9 transmitter system and so fourth. I know I will be buying a MM due to form factor. It becomes a hassle...

    You shouldn't depend on a front sensor for control of the craft. Those are there as a precaution. I'm speaking from a back ground of building building long range and racing quads and we've never depend on extra smart accessories to prevent us from crashing. It's all pilot skill and awareness...

    Mavic Mini Announcement October 30th!

    True. I'm going wait until it's at a local bestbuy before I buy. Gives times for reviews and firmware fix / updates.
