    What Kind of Drone Pilot Are You?

    #2 for me. I started off attaching a camera to a fishing kite (about 14 years ago). Then a balsa motorised glider. Then several home built drones ( from about 10 years ago) Finally a Mavic Air I bought second-hand a couple of years ago which gets pulled out every now and again to make sure I can...

    Well, the final chapter in my search for the ideal AR mask deals with my experience with the MagiMask. The major plus for this piece of kit is that it allows you to fly using the official DJI app , something which I feel more comfortable with and for anyone wanting to claim recompense from DJI...

    Yes, I already have a BT mouse that works with the phone. I guess that presupposes you have a flat surface to use it on. (something else to carry with you...) :) . One thing I've noticed with all these masks, is that fitting the phone into the mask is difficult to achieve without changing stuff...

    Ahhhh! Still on the treasure hunt for the ideal drone mask other than the DJI standard issue. As stated earlier (May 28) the latest aquisition was the Fitt AR-X which enables any DJI drone using the phone app to view the screen close to the eyes using a mirror system. When you are using it...

    Your Ximmerse Visor X are similar to the Fitt AR-X. (using mirrors). I'm playing around with designing side shields to shade the mirrors that could be easily detachable. If I have any success, I'll post some photos. Might be a week or two.......

    They were going cheap @ around $89 last year, but no one seems to have any stock at that price. At US$100 freight free I might have given them a go. Are they the only goggles you've tried? cheers TC

    Looking at one particular review, the weight and bulkiness of this mask seems to be a bit of a problem. Also the US$129 plus taxes would put it over NZ$200. I've just tried a pair of Fitt AR-X which cost me NZ$54 to import which allows you to use the DJIGo4 app and I'm having a play with it at...

    FPV Goggles for Mavic Air

    For anyone considering purchasing the DroneVR app, be aware that the app differs between the IOS version and the Android. Despite being told that you get a 5 minute trial after the initial download, all I could get to work was a "Demo" mode which flew you through pre-recorded scenery. I decided...

    OK! You talked me into it.............. and it came to NZ$13.99 for any kiwis looking at this. I guess your phone is an Apple. That IOS App has a different method of adjusting lens adjustment. The Android setup for focus and eye distance isn't as sophisticated as the Apple one. I've had...

    I turn 75 in June. I don't need distance glasses only for reading. I will give DroneVR a go eventually. Google was asking a bit more than $9 probably because NZ tax gets added and the conversion rate is about $US69c for NZ$1. That said, for less than $20 it's worth a try. I have to say that I...

    As you can see the Shinecon front flips down easily and I would imagine when using it with DroneVR it's easy enough to drop the front down for camera view. The Mavic Air controller does not have C1 or C2 buttons, but I believe the Fn button does the same thing. I have been given heaps of...

    Exactly 2 weeks after ordering it, the VRBox arrived. I'd given up and ordered a Shinecon with the flip down face which arrived the next day after ordering it from Auckland. I'm pleased I did as the VRBox is pretty useless and probably the same as the one you returned. I can't return it, so it...

    Thanks vindibona1 for all of the above. It's good stuff!! I was especially interested in how you were getting on with the Pecosso glasses. The cheap ones I ordered I suspect will be much the same as your returned $13 ones. (They are still missing in the post). Amazon will send the Pecosso ones...

    What software is the best for editing vids and photos ?

    I've been using Free Video Editor (formerly Free video dub) for years for removing ads from recorded TV and streaming. I've stuck with version 1.4.12 Build 415 which keeps telling me to upgrade because it lets you save in the original format. Later versions wanted you to upgrade to a paid...

    I'm new here and going through the same the same process of discovering VR for my Mavic Air. I've just been having a look at the DroneVr site and the "How Tos" section:-HowTos - DroneVR2 gives reasonably detailed instructions of the functions obtainable through the menu which can be activated...
