    Mini drone with NO GPS/Geofence and dedicated SD card?

    I have been looking at the cable cams and tried to make one with a 3d Printer. I had an idea of using a 3d Camera that rotates as it goes through we had issues testing it int he back yard though. The wiral is awesome I've watched so much on that, but for $400 and I wouldn't use it much. I'm...

    Mavic Air 2 Video question

    Older processors also seem to be an issue. There are a lot of great processors and video cards out there that can't seem to process play them at all due to the age/technology. I had a great gaming system but an older CPU, upgraded my video card and still couldn't play them until I ended up...

    Mini drone with NO GPS/Geofence and dedicated SD card?

    Thank you both. On base we are under restricted geofencing. I put the tinfoil on the mini but is a hassle and doesn't always work well when flying near windows it will sometimes receive a GPS signal and force land. One of the things I am trying to do is fly from the front door through our...

    Mini drone with NO GPS/Geofence and dedicated SD card?

    I am looking for a small drone that stores the video to the SD card. I love the Tello but I'm not happy with the footage to my phone, I think I'm in a high wi-fi area and I've tried the extender and three different devices and I get hiccups in my video so I want dedicated SD card, I also want...

    Ok, Lets end it all right now.

    Way to many variables, even if you say money isn't an object, which for some of us it is the number one factor, you've got size(both looking at your screen and transportability) I don't want something huge if I am hiking up to the top of a mountain and want to go as light as possible, but I want...

    Direction Indicator Issue

    A fewof the inexpensive WIFI Samsungs right now have GPS but not compass from my understanding, I know my Tab A 8 inch has GPS but no compass.

    Direction Indicator Issue

    I am very confused. And I don't want to cause confusion or derail this thread, but if a tablet doesn't have a compass, Tab A 8 inch, there is no way to have the compass indicator work right? I kinda read here that if you have a compass app that it can work, but I might have misunderstood that...

    Shaky video - results of wind and gimbal overload.

    Hmm... You guys gave me some food for thought on this. It is not repeatable, yet... If it does happen again I think I'll dabble and see if I land did it go away, can i make it happen twice in a row, whole scientific method, if not might just be a fluke, it only happened on that flight and I...

    4K 60p crashes Cyberlink PowerDirector

    Maybe 18 has issues I have 17, I went that route because I wanted to pay once and leave it at that i bought 17 right after it came out and it works great on 4K, 360, HEVC/H.265 and everything I've thrown at it. I had premiere for college for a year and it's great, but very very different for me...

    4K 60p crashes Cyberlink PowerDirector

    I had an older i5 processor and a GTX 480 in my old rig I needed a whole new computer, I actually got an HP for 15 bucks that had all those specs, minus the video card. I bought it at a thrift store for the power supply, it didn't have a hard drive had no clue the specs on it till I got it home...

    Fly away

    Is this your house, have you been there? I can't see the right side due to the crop, but is there a chance it was turned on and you transported it and it turned itself off, you were showing a friend, it was on in the house and had a jump with the GPS? Pokemon go does that if you are in a house...

    Video stops after a few seconds?

    Try lowering you settings to the lowest possible and see if you get more than a few seconds. As CarstenB said maybe it's an issue with your SD card and the write/buffer speeds. If lower res videos work you probably want a better/faster video card. I use a UHS class 1(U1) video card on my mini...

    Shaky video - results of wind and gimbal overload.

    I think the drone was fighting the wind and moving back and forth to compensate for the wind and the gimbal just wasn't moving at all, or was moving with the drone, like locked in place, so it wasn't compensating for the movement like it is designed to do. I just watched the clip before and the...

    4K 60p crashes Cyberlink PowerDirector

    I am using PowerDirector 17 and I have zero issues with 4K60 in general, when I get into larger/longer edits and color correction I get really bogged down, but not crashing. I'm running an i7-4770 16 GB ram and a GTX 1050 Ti graphics card. It really takes a good processor to get H.265 to work...
