Don't feel bad if you only have one out of 4 bad. I have 14 of them and at least 8 or 9 are bad. I'll post up some pictures and a short video soon of the lot. These batteries are getting expensive for sure. The quality of the newest ones seems to be worse than the one's I got with the drone.

I recently bought 5 new batteries because 4 of 8 of my original batteries were showing some serious swelling. All of the swollen batteries have a mfg date of 7 to 11 of 2018 and none of them have over 50 charges on them. If memory serves me correctly I believe at least one of them was in the...

I have 8 batteries and 4 of them are swelling. I just yesterday ordered 5 more. These batteres are getting expensive!

Depends on why your flying. Sometimes you'd like to note in real time what it is that your looking at. When you go back to edit the video you may want to listen to the audio and place on screen comments at particular places. I can see how it would be useful for stuff like inspections, virtual...

Thank you Sir! I appreciate you taking the time to share your knowledge with me. Time will tell if anyone local will get on board with this. It's all great during discussion but no so easy when it comes time to write the check.

And you would be wrong. It is legal in the USA for a 107 pilot to fly 400' above the highest point of any given structure.

I wouldn't mind throwing $1k of my own money at it and there may be more funds available through local departments and the EMA. The whole idea is to have observers watching the video in real time while searching instead of going back and watching recorded video. As you know every search to...

I'll be following this thread. When you guys figure out how to display what the drone is seeing in real time on a large screen TV inside incident command at a reasonable price while I'm outside at some distance flying it I want to know.

Regardless if the manned aircraft pilot known the laws rules and regulations concerning drones he/she should know the rules governing manned aircraft and if they are following those rules there shouldn't be a problem.

I have asked for a quote for the Evo2Dual 640X512 but haven't heard back yet. What's everyone's opinion on this unit. Will it do any better for search and rescue and law enforcement work than the Mavic2E Dual?

Why does everyone automatically assume that someone attempted to fly from within the park? Y'all must have a guilty conscience. LOL I consider the possibility of a "fly away". With a 30min flight time on a new hot battery and the fact that it can fly 45mph it could have launched from over 20...

Everyone has their own standards they use, some more lax and some more stringent. For me and mine I would only charge the batteries in question when I could be present 100% of the time and I would only use them for ground work. The possibility of them swelling with heat in flight and causing a...

You learn something new every day! If you are really interested and want to see it done I can make a video and post it when I have time.

Not sure what your point is. I first attempted to calibrate the IMU using a laptop several times. Then I used my PC and it seemed to have worked fine. I would assume that anyone would know that what ever device you choose to use to calibrate the IMU would have to have the app on it.

I am in no way assuming that your issue was/is like mine was. I am only replying to shed light on the situation I had in the hopes that it may help someone else. My M2P started giving problems indicating that I needed to re-calibrate the IMU and I tried it several times on my laptop. The next...
