You're welcome Oscar. The biggest weight monster is my Samsung Tab. When I was flying my original P2V I used an old cell phone - which weighed nothing. When I decided I wanted a bigger screen for my aging eyes I got the Tab. Damned thing gets heavy! I have a strap for my controller but that...

I made this for my Autel XSP controller but the idea would work on any controller. The best part is, I used some politician's campaign poster to make it. It's made out of some sort of air bubbled plastic stuff. I was able to make it as big as I wanted so even in the noon sun here in Nevada I...

No, the worst thing that could happen is some emergency helo (Care Flight?) flying by that you can't see (like the guy in New York that hit the military helo) because of the distance, runs into your bird. Don't get me wrong. I love all this long distance stuff, but this part of it is what keeps...

Holy Crap! I'm flying an Autel XSP and after my recent firmware update, this is EXACTLY the same problem I'M having. Your screen shots look like MY screen shots. My Google maps, that used do load and work fine, no longer load and work fine. I have deleted my Starlink app (the one that resides in...

For those wondering what the initial video looked like, I did a search for Tesla drone video on YouTube and found a "crap load" of videos, with one taken from a fixed wing airplane that took off from Lake Tahoe. But apparently the one in question was shot from a lesser altitude that the ones I...

There's no doubt that visual line of sight is different from person to person. Chuck Yeager was known for his ability to spot incoming enemy planes long before any of his accompanying squadron. Me, on the other hand, not-so-much. ;)

Not sure how high this is (and wouldn't post it anyway . . .) but it's not 400 ft. And, as you can see, it's from my aging ancient P2V (not even a plus!). Just thought I'd toss it in because I love the location.

Now we're talkin' . . . .

Just perusing the No Fly Zones near me. It lists our airport in Carson CIty, NV but does NOT list the Fallon Naval Air Station in Fallon, NV (current location of Top Gun). That's almost like missing Area 51- which they DID miss. They did list Creech Air Force Base (home of Air Force drone...

I can't believe I watched this whole stupid video! Now I feel stupid . . .

Now that woman is what I call a "keeper"! ;)

My guess is, if DJI did do right by benbell and send him a new P3, they don't want that spread around. Can you imagine how many new P3's they'd have to ship out if everyone who has upgraded their software and bricked their birds sent theirs in as well? Heck, I'd upgrade my software (for the...

Good point. It's the same on most other forums like cars, RV's and whatever else is for sale out there.

You would think, huh. Actually, it was my first night flight, and could barely see anything outside anyway. But still, no excuse. I wasn't thinking the 'experiment' through quite enough . . . :eek:

I'm not so sure. I think if they do any research and find all the problems folks report having, they might steer clear (at least for now) for fear of having a big return problem. That, and not really having knowledgeable people to direct questions to. Hell, most of the time you can't find anyone...
