    Question about battery chargers

    I had the same dilemma when I started running large 6S batteries. I've been using Revolectrix Cellpro Dual Charger with their 24 VDC 55A Power Station and Parallel Boards, and LOVE this setup. While not the cheapest, it can charge a single 6S 16000 mah battery in about 12 minutes (at 35Amps)...

    f550 left turn into ground

    Just a crap shoot, but see how much vibration is in the frame and make sure that your props are balanced, a frame vibration can also confuse the sensors and cause this kind of behavior.

    Where'd all the regulars go? Old Man?

    @Av8Chuck good idea, let me see if I can set this up. If we can't time a call, we can start a conversation thread. Any other folks on here you'd like to see participating in this?

    Skyjib X4/ DJIA2 crash

    That really sucks, sorry that happened to you. Does the iOSD app still offer the option to access the log files, maybe @DJI Innovations could help? I haven't used this feature for quite some time, so not sure if you can still do it. If it can be pulled, I'd open a ticket with DJI and see if they...

    Where'd all the regulars go? Old Man?

    @Av8Chuck , agreed, we are still trying to figure out how to best separate the two, and I really appreciate your input on all this. Maybe we can have a conversation with @droneadmin and @Nathan, and hopefully a few more professionals here to help us shape this better. Your thoughts?

    Where'd all the regulars go? Old Man?

    @Av8Chuck I'm happy to see people like yourself here, I'd say it's still pretty good here over some of the Facebook forums (but those are a bit of a different animal, anyway). I think that the AP/AV work is a bit different from driving a truck - the schedule varies and is very weather dependent...

    Commercial Operations of sAUS in the US now Legal

    I am so happy to see that the FAA has finally realized that voluntary compliance is best achieved with sensible rules. This day is a historic milestone for the industry which I'm so proud to be a part of. I am also very happy for all the talented people out there trying to stay in the shadows...

    Hi Tony, nice vid, 450 was my first machine, so I can relay to the jello issues that I had plenty of. I found the Dubro Prop Balancer and ND 8 or ND 16 filters work well to help eliminate jello on 450&Gopro setup. Cheers!

    Master video file storage best practices

    For actual jobs, I use a separate card for every location, in some cases for every flight (when flying over water, events, etc). That way if something happens to the card or the drone, I have at least everything up to that point. I've had a card fail before and it was not pretty (luckily it was...

    Master video file storage best practices

    I have an 8TB distributed parity external drive, with all backed-up on SOS Backup (the best deal on "are you nuts?" plan that I could find), and my photo collection also on Dropbox.

    S800 flip of death

    TO my understanding, the FOD issue was more related to the vibration in the frame affecting the IMU to the point it made the aircraft flip upside down and self-destruct. This seemed to have been result of excessive vibration in the S-800 frame (supposedly addressed by the time they got to EVO)...

    Beautiful small falls in my home town - Ottawa ON

    Really cool, have you played with 120fps (slo-mo) setting? It only works in 1080, but would be awesome for the falls.

    Should I stay or Should I go?

    Quite a few good points in here. I don't really feel that the interest in multirotors has subsided over the last few years, I would say it got "diluted" between growing number of outlets available for people to participate in Facebook pulled a lot, but aside of a handful of groups, they are...
