    Drone pilot could face charges in connection with deadly crash

    Some of your assumptions are also incorrect. Helicopter rotors can survive the impact of a drone. Your assumption of forward speed of the drone and/helicopter. The drone operator was clearly wrong but exaggerating the dangers to the helicopter also don't help the discussion.

    Drone pilot could face charges in connection with deadly crash

    Fishy story. Downwash of copter would have grounded drone. This does not excuse the drone flyer of being there but copter pilot needs to use better judgement

    DJI Geo should be completely scrapped

    Can you imagine Ford or GM installing software on their cars that stopped the car when it thought there were restrictions such as speed or too close to the edge of the road. What if Cessna stopped their planes if they entered a controlled airspace. Then why is it at acceptable that DJI basically...

    Gimbal Yaw Tuning in DJI GO 4 ver 4.1.4

    Not the issue I had. My gimbal was always pointing slightly to the left. I was able to correct it using a manual process but was kind of sketchy in its results. This new function now allows the yaw to be adjusted electronically

    Gimbal Yaw Tuning in DJI GO 4 ver 4.1.4

    Version 4.1.5 is now out and partially functional. It now does adjust the camera Yaw. The numeric indicator does not work. It remains at zero no matter how much yaw you dial in. At least the camera Yaw adjustment now functions. This is on my P4P.

    Do you guys use this protector when storing?

    Nope. I don't use the case it came with either.

    Gimbal Yaw Tuning in DJI GO 4 ver 4.1.4

    Based on both our experiences, it obviously needs more work.

    Gimbal Yaw Tuning in DJI GO 4 ver 4.1.4

    You need to be connected to aircraft. It is then in RC setup next to auto calibrate. You must be in version 4.1.4 of DJI GO 4. I think this version is only for IOS systems at this time.

    Gimbal Yaw Tuning in DJI GO 4 ver 4.1.4

    This new yaw tuning function is certainly a welcome addition if it worked. On my P4P it does nothing except jiggle the gimbal a little and the number in the center of the tuning screen does not change. Anyone else having this issue?

    the dreaded angular camera

    If you do a google search for "phantom 4 pro camera pointing left". You find instructions for correcting this for both left and right pointing cameras. Involves manually turning camera to right or left and running a gimbal calibration with the camera pointing up (aircraft standing on tail end)...

    why is L stick called throttle

    Prior to RC helicopters and multirotor aircraft, the left stick in mode 2 was the throttle for fixed wing aircraft engines and motors. Left stick up and down when flying multirotor aircraft provides the same functionality as the collective/throttle stick in a helicopter.

    Storage of video files

    Quit using DVDs years ago. The substrate on most of them starts to fail at about 7 to 10 years. Use external HDs and BluRays now.
