    Any DJI Ground Station experts?

    I'm using GS for quite a while but I never controlled my RPA manually, through a GS joystick. GS works fair enough for mission planning, mission upload and limited mission control. But the overall design of the software let me doubt whether I wanted to use direct control modes through a joystick...

    DJI Ground Station for PC - huge WP labels

    Moving from one to another PC I'm facing a big problem with big fonts. All labels for waypoints and waypoint distances, overlays on Google Earth background, suddenly appear huge. I'm using a 3200x1800 13" display. GS version is 4.0.9. Any idea what's wrong?

    I honestly don't know why you want to fly "soft 3D" and, at the same time, yielding at smooth footage ...?

    Falling from a height of 557m and off motor output by WKM. :<

    Thanks for the update. What I wanted to say already: Your video is very impressive in terms of camera stability, did you post-process it? Which 2-axis brushless gimbal do you use?

    Falling from a height of 557m and off motor output by WKM. :<

    Ok, I was referring to my 5800 mAh / 4s batteries, not 6s. However, I'm still impressed by the flight times. How heavy is the MR, incl. payload? How do you manage to almost double the flight time with 2 batteries instead of one, my personal experience is maybe factor 1.5-1.6 at best.

    Falling from a height of 557m and off motor output by WKM. :<

    Do I understand it correctly, have you been at 550m above ground with a total flight time of > 9 minutes? Speaking for my AD-8, which weights about 5.5kg fully equipped with a comparable camera (Olympus OM-D EM-5) and an AV200 and two 5800 mAh batteries, I assume that the batteries were simply...

    Do you (RadioFlyer) use GS too? Successfully?

    Where can I get Groundstation software from?

    Meanwhile there is a new version, 4.0.8 I guess. But it's not worth upgrading, the only new feature is a "no fly zone". Unfortunately DJI seems to focus on iOS software, not really what I am looking for.

    Improving the camera balance actually has a big impact on tilt shaking, according to my experience. What is strange is the fact, that the opposite happened: Better balance (was it better?) led to more shaking ...? Notice that zooming may have a big impact on the overall balance and shaking too...

    New Groundstation

    I would definitively prefer an improved GS version on the PC. For me it's hard to imagine using an iPad for serious mission planning and, even worse, for outdoor operation in the sun. I imagine my iPhone getting very hot and draining the battery very quickly. But maybe they are targeting Parrot...

    wkm starting out of hand?

    A hand-launched plane rarely returns rigth back into your face/head, with or without a potential failure. This is not the case for an MR with 4-8 high-speed rotating, pretty sharp propellers. I just observe how many RC pilots don't follow basic safety procedures like e.g. not flying over a...

    wkm starting out of hand?

    If you were a manufacturer, would you really say yes to such a request? Telling someone to start a MR from over his head? There is an interesting thread in this forum about a WKM-MR flipping over upon launch, after 200 successful flights... Two days ago a Swiss RC pilot has been killed by his...
