Is the podcast dead?

Did I miss something? It's been a while since pocket casts has shown a new episode...

Sorry, I live in northern Iowa, if you make it down this way I have stuff you could use no problem.

haha, that was funny. Another thoght on your circle test would be to use the point of interest feature, let it circle automatically to remove any sudden acceleration which could use more battery.

I'm not sure about hover vs. moving, but a lot of factors go into the battery life. Temp, wind conditions, humidity, elevation, ground effect, etc. I would say like many product manufacturer ratings, the advertised flight time is optimistic at best. Very cool test however, thank you for the...

What happened? What did you lose?

I would be interested, but not anywhere near interested at the $129 link that was left by another member.

FYI the re-upload never came through to PocketCast.

Additionally, if I go with choice 1 above, perhaps I only need to buy one of the Cinema series options at $99. If this is the case which one should I start with. Thanks again.

I just wanted to report that I received the batteries and they were in great shape. They were on a storage charge. I also called DJI and they verified based on the charge count and serial information that they were authentic DJI batteries. I was also assured by DJI they are covered under the...

The more I watch on the Mavic the worse I feel about buying the P4 last weekend. I wonder what Best Buy's return policy is... :(

I am certainly no expert, but a quick Google search turned up some of the following: https://www.faa.gov/uas/faqs/ - Alternatively, if you want to operate your UAS as a non-model aircraft you must register your UAS in the country in which you are eligible to register and obtain operating...

The pixhawk will certainly be my suggestion if budget is no issue, however you don't NEED to have the flight controller control the gimbal. On my 3DR Y6 that has a Pixhawk it came set up where the flight controller does not control the gimbal, the gimbal software takes care of that.

Yeah, the timing is definitely not an accident! DV, it would be great to see a head to head comparison between the Karma and Mavic. It's also interesting timing how 3DR basically have said they are trying to get out of the consumer market. As a home-gamer who dabbles in small commercial jobs...
