Hi Ross, I've tried hanging a avalanche beacon off a phantom 4 pro - while it can work as a demo there are problems with electrical interference with the drone as well as making a lightweight drone like the phantom 4 oscillate as the phantom drone struggles to maintain flight control with the...

Good luck on getting DJI to return to HERE maps again. HERE maps charges $1.50/user/month until you have a very large number of users to get the price down. Mapbox is much cheaper.

While I dislike these internet squabbles on the drone forums, I will write up a follow-up. There is a difference between paying for training with a company that does just that - provide training services. If I pay a company to train me for 3 days for $1,500 to provide me with the skills...

I must be missing something? Why would a company have you pay for training? It should be the other way around - as in a company will pay to train you because they figure they will get the cost of the training back in revenue for all the cell tower inspections. Paying for training like this...

Has anyone used the latest Samsung s9 or s9+ with DJI GO or Litchi. I'm wondering if the 845 processor in the latest samsung flagship device will easily process a DJI app requirements.

Hi Brizey, I'm currently working on a project combining drones, tensorflow lite, and android. The use case is for ranchers. Feel free to contact me at [email protected] . it might be worthwhile for us to collaborate together.

There are some industrial bright sunlight readable android devices for instance the T71. These are marketed as rugged industrial devices. Here is a link for one of these android tablets Android rugged tablet 7inch industrial waterproof dual core with 3G GPS Wifi bluetooth camera

Currently the CS does not support apps being downloaded from the google play store because DJI has set up the CS not to support a wide variety of google services including google play. So Litchi would have to modify not just their app but also how they want to distribute their app. Distributing...

The new release date is Jan 23, 2018 - for new drones - no one knows if this will include the phantom 5 or not. I think the phantom 5 will be released Jan 23rd.

Weather resistance to allow flying in some light rain, removable lens and/or camera, and inexpensive rtk. These three items would work well for me.

+1 on using the nVidia k1 shield. I just hate counting on a discontinued android tablet to run apps for DJI drones.

For myself - I'm using the crystal sky devices because I know that DJI will use the crystal sky devices as one of their testing models. DJI has had growing pains, or quality control, as their program has grown ever more complex in the last couple of years. With the crystal sky DJI can control...

What do you mean by a stick on docking pad? I'm not getting that part. Do you mean placing a pad on the bottom of the drone that facilitates the charging or a pad that sticks on one of the sides of the phantom?

Cool idea - I like the graphics. How much of your product do you have done yet - or is this at the concept stage right now? Also - have you figured out a way to recharge the batter on a phantom without having to go out and load in a new battery?

Vancouver Island is a beautiful place. You will get some amazing pictures.
