The app doesn't really decide on anything. It is the controller that is paired with the bird and set to master/slave.

Right gotcha. Thanks for the info! I am just concerned about this as I fly a lot over water. If the battery is still reporting that it needs a deep cycle does that mean it's not calibrated properly and it's possible I might have an auto-land scenario? It looks like only 1 of the 2 remaining...

Hi all, So I have a few batteries that repeatedly report that I need to 100% charge then drain to 5% or less. I have done this at least 3 times on one battery and I keep getting the same message. I am running firmware 1.5 and have updated all of my batteries and tx to this version, along with...

I want a set of Cinemizers. Their low profile is fantastic. I can't believe they don't make them anymore :(

Was this in cold weather?

Fancy shutting down established clubs - what an absolute load of rubbish. I hope the AMA and other clubs band together to bring the FAA down a peg or two on this one.

I have a suggestion for future firmware threads, it would be nice to have a poll on the first post so we can see how many people (at least out of those that complete it) genuinely are having issues vs success. People should be able to edit their votes also. I for one will skip 1.6. In sunny...

Good to hear Tony and grats on your cert :) /me is counting down the days!

Yes, only the cellular iPad has GLONASS. You can't have GPS in an iPad unless it is cellular or has a 3rd party addon.

Flying near nuclear power plants is a big no-no. It's probably restricted airspace, at least I believe the Sydney plant is. Very nice shot you have there though :)

I don't really understand what the big difference is. What would a 30Hz FLIR camera give enemies of the US over the 9Hz model?

They specifically mention power line inspection so I'd say the XT is what you want. Thermal IR of heat signatures to see stressed metals. If it is anything like the Osmo release there will be massive demand and a great shortage of stock, so you may need to be patient for it.

Just so I am understanding this right, the US and Canada will have 30Hz systems for sale at retail, the rest of the world will have 9Hz models and will need apply for a license to the US government in order to try and obtain a 30Hz model?

What sort of IR imaging do you want to do exactly? Are we talking NDVI or thermal imaging? DJI have just announced a new FLIR Zenmuse thermal IR camera that should be available in <insert timeframe here>. If you are talking NDVI, you can modify the X3 camera to do this. I have a modified X3, the...

I wonder how many takes they had to get a successful catch they could use for the news.
