Like them or not, the parallels between drone laws and now NFA/86 restricted firearms is uncanny. We are in the golden age of drones in the US my friends. Just wait until you can't purchase a drone unless made/registered prior to 20** or unless you have the correct/current licensing.

Got my props today. Unfortunately the trailing edge on a CCW prop blade has a very visible chip/defect that will catch my finger nail. All others a smooth/straight. Will try and get a photo soon.

Feinstein is about as nutty as they come. Just ask law abiding gun owners how reasonable she is.

Tried to take off the QD mounts today. Heated the first screw, used the correct bit, stripped. I don't know what kind of crap pot metal DJI uses, and why they would then red loctite that crap metal, but I'm pretty pissed. Haven't bothered trying the others.

Apple discontinued support for the mini, might have something to do with it. Still a good price if only using for a monitor.

Really none I can think of. Just shoot with the camera locked forward like the Mavic. Could still pan up/down. If you did decide to rotate the camera there is always the FPV cam looking forward, or set waypoints and let the drone fly while you film.

Michael, was the new shipment of folding props received today? Anxious to get them!

I'd absolutely own one for hobby flying if cost is not an issue. Same as above, no need for the SSD etc. I'd snag the drone/X5S and lots of batteries.

I'm using the included 15mm lens. I believe I've found the issue with the X5S focus, or at least the fix. It doesn't like being in Auto at all. In aperture priority or the other manual modes everything is sharp. I guess I just can't be lazy with Auto for buzzing around. The FPV camera will...

I have an issue with my I2 drone that I can't seem to remedy with IMU/Gimbal calibration. The FPV camera consistently has a left hand slant. In flight it will go to and stay at it's extreme left limit at times. Another problem is with the X5S camera/focus. The majority of the time the left...

I believe it, but can't be much worse than props so loose they make noise when you push on them in either direction. Mine is recently purchased with foam in the props as well.

Well, decided I would give them a try for myself as the factory props on mine have quite a bit of play now. No way I would take a real plane up with that sort of prop vibration so I guess I won't fly my 6k drone like that either. Treat me well Florida Drone :) Anyway, appreciate the tip on the...

I really want to pop on some CF props but with the errors mentioned above as well as the shudder on start up I don't think they are quite there yet.
