    Bricked TB50s after long storage

    I have done the same with older DJI Phantom batteries. Just be sure you have a good one so you can check what leads/contacts are +/- or you might get more than you bargained for!

    Hi everyone

    Welcome!.... what kind of bikes? Motos, mountain bikes, road (bicycles), road motorcycles? :-)

    ***SOLD*** 12000 Mah Inspire 1 battery mod, 5 charges

    Cool stuff, I am considering an Inspire 1 and the flight time is what was one of the main things holding me back... this looks interesting :)

    I am new to drone flying. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Please read.

    If this is your first drone I would highly recommend having an experienced pilot teach you, or you spend a few more dollars and get something to practice on.... like a DJI Mini or similar with prop guards. Not to discourage you, but one mistake on the Inspire and it will be in pieces.

    What are your REAL flight times and is there a battery hack for the V1 for longer flight times?

    FAA Release NEW rules for UAS Operations

    Yup what others above have said. The 107 cert process is incomplete, just because you can pass an exam, you can fly?... No flight test to prove you even know what you are doing or bring your bird home manually if tech fails you? I understand and do not oppose remote ID, within reason. If I live...

    Karma-What Went Wrong?

    x5yo summed it up pretty well. Apparently from what I've read their camera sales have been lagging for quite some time now. Lot's of competition at much lower prices now. Different form factors are better for some applications, like the Sony (I never have understood why they want you to strap a...

    The BIG NEWS today was.... a bit disappointing...

    I think this may go to prove they pushed the Mavic out ahead of sched to club the Karma... One would think this video would have been released before the actual Mavic was released. Goggles are cool, yes, but also anticipated... I was hoping for more than the already released Mavic and the...

    Cheap Drones

    I will believe it when I see it.... I'd like to see DJI have some competition.... but not sure these units will be in the same ball park capability and results wise...

    Blow back has started...

    Or the same agencies that will use drone technology for their own internal uses...
