Are you getting any Christmas goody’s for your drone 2018

Porky · Jan 26, 2019

No I don’t think so, I’m one of the suckers that updates ever time. I think for the M2 now has waypoints but I’m not 100% sure, I can’t do it cos the Go4 app ain’t come out for the CS yet

I’m gonna do it now, definitely, I’ll post it here just for a laugh, you done the Christmas vid so I think we should carry it on through the year. I watched your vid again the other day, still makes me laugh

Okay, can't wait! Yeah, Im glad you coaxed me into that project because we had a hoot with it!

Oh nonsense, save the money for other beautiful things, and fly just a little closer to the interesting objects. That's like zooming, absolutely no magic. When the camera is down, most of the time, you will see few zebras, I think. Actually, you need then no ND filters, no zebras and no histogram I am very satisfied with my little and old Mavic, he still exceeds my requirements.

I hear ya! I don't think its time for me to upgrade just yet but maybe by end of year...

Brilliant dancing, right I get ya now, me very dumb. I’ll hum that and perhaps try the Irish dance while flying. Now that would definitely keep me warm on these frosty mornings. Not gonna be flying for a while now, wind has picked up here and looks like it’s here for a few days

Has everyone updated the Go4 app/controller/drone/batteries software yet? All done here apart from the Go4 app, CS updates are always last to be sorted

Weird... I couldn’t update anything through my CS, I had to connect my iPhone to get the latest updates, what’s that all about it kept telling me about a network error.....

Sorry forgot to say, my new flying outfit

Yesterday evening, I looked caringly at our 15 year old cat. She lay apparently dead on a cat tree platform. I could not detect any breathing. And out of concern she would not be well, I gently stroked her. That was a big mistake, because she was in very good shape. She had gotten a fright, and ran her blades lightning fast through my thumb. I stood there frozen for a while, bleeding. My life passed me by. Lesson learned quickly and painfully.

I always used the DJI Assistant after initial problems with different smartphones. Updates were much faster and more reliable with the DJI Assistant. Well, after almost two years there is hardly anything new for the M1x, but still I check it at home before I go flying with the Drone.

all this humming has got me feeling poetical.i once knew a man called Porky who lives in Essex by the sea, and since we met on this forum he has become more like a son to me, he started this thread last Christmas to ask what was under our tree, at least i think that was the idea its been so long you see, all the gang on this thread are amazing we have great fun in our posts as you can see, i hope it goes on till next Christmas if it ends i would be so sorry.

You gave a signal about the original theme of this thread ...

Back to what was not lying under the Christmas tree in 2018. I had saved a few bugs to buy the Osmo Pocket with accessories later this month. At least for my birthday in February, I wanted to have the little Osmo.

But my wife was a bit faster. She bought an Anki Vector Robot to play with.

Sometimes it would be nice if my wife did not care about such things, but like me she is passionate about technology toys.

Well, I can set it up, and it understands currently only English-speaking commands. So maybe I'll enjoy it a bit. The toy should arrive today ...

Oh well, the shock is long gone.
I always do loving nonsense with our cats. I can do many unusual things with them. They are generally not aggressive, just gentle biting and touching all those years. I acted very ill-considered.

There is a lot more of this wet and cold weather right now, which keeps me from flying.

Lol, oh I’ve been there soooo many times with one of our cats. I tell ya what’s worst, when I’m laying on the sofa, cat on my tummy fast asleep then she (cat) gets spooked..... claws out into my tummy for grip then legs it, some very nice choice words from while in screaming in pain

but we love um. Bet your thumbs sore?

Ive never used the Dji assistant 2 via the pc I’ve always had 100% success using my iPhone soooo I thought the CS would be the same

I tried so many times with it but it just wouldn’t play ball for some unknown reason, I put a thread on the SC forum but nobody ever answers me

I plugged my iPhone in, it updated 1st time

Must be some sort of bug in it.

Good evening! Nice to relax on a Saturday night. Working on reorganizing my pics and vids. How do you organize all your images, by date, subject matter, location...?

Porky · Jan 27, 2019

For me it’s still “work in motion” my iMac is in such a state at the mo, photos in files all over the place I even started a thread about the same question.

Have a look at this thread House keeping photos on a PC

...The video: I think the lady drank too much fabric softener ... LOL ... We do not sound that soft in general. My wife sounds like Ozzy O., well sometimes ... ROFL ...

I am afraid I may have been duped by a pretty smile and what we call a Downy (like the fabric softener) delivery!

BTW I knew I had to get back to OZZY! Do you mean your wife says this:

That is a good thread that I missed! Good tips, I have combination of cloud storage and 1TB external drive and/or 4 TB NAS. My file naming is chaotic but sounds like my storage methods are okay!
