    High wind behavior

    I was kinda assuming others would join in and say they have seen this behavior. I totally understand the skepticism, I was truly shocked when it happened the first time. It's not really a problem, once I was aware of it I practiced and can deal with it. I appreciate the advice on flying with...

    High wind behavior

    Sadly no, and for the most part I don't want to when anywhere near people. But for the sake of experimentation I wish I had. Next time I get a chance I will try with and without. Note these are official DJI prop guards, but with aftermarket quick releases.

    Gimbal Motor Overloaded intermittent error since 1.2.0

    Gimbal Motor Overloaded intermittent error since 1.2.0

    I suspect this warning is new to 1.2.0. Anyone ever see it before 1.2.0? Here's a video comparing 1.1.2 to 1.2.0 when the gimbal is pushed beyond it's max.

    Update to iOS Pilot app

    Since I never had the gimbal overload error before the app update and I always had the gimbal packing foam on by mistake, I suspect they just decreased the threshold at which the warning triggers.
