I'd rather go to jury duty than help DJI spread it's sky fungus to all the virgin hands around the world.

http://www.surfermag.com/videos/drone-takeover-stu-gibson/ Of course I am biased towards the water. Amazing work.

that is the coolest rc anything I have seen in a while.

True but even if the manual was a literary work of art that doesn't prevent the electronics from failure. I think quality control is number 1. There is a serious conflict of interest between QC and volume. So first step is dont have ANYTHING made in China! That decision immediately puts you...

Is that prototype not an Xaircraft 650? Looks exactly like it. If you want to rule the market you will have to do what everyone tries to do and cant. 1. Beat China pricing 2. Make it 99% reliable 3. balance it before slapping a RTF label on it 4. have excellent customer support 5. ease of...

Skill? Dammit, there was no mention of that prerequisite on the box! I did throw in the towel. Every now and then I get asked to fly for someone and if it is totally remote and safe Ill do it. I have also subbed out jobs to friends and skimmed a little off the top. But usually I am so...

Unrelated....Dave how the heck do you land that Y6 with that gear???

All new components, never used. Getting rid of all my extra stuff I've never used. The only cosmetic issue is the black plastic sheet I made to fit the case. It looks much worse in the picture. Aluminum black case. $40 Built in 8" Earthview FPV monitor. $100 NIB DJI f550 frame kit. $50...

That guy up there can't be safe at 2:18??? :)

Probably because this has been brought up a ton of times in the last few years. It's more or less the same answer every time. Try doing a search for redundancy and all your answers will be there.

I know I am becoming notorious for my anti-china comments but this is another REAL reason why we need to be more aggressive as a nation and greatly reduce the flow of imports without balanced exports. In the end we are all guilty of buying the cheaper product even though we know it's wrong...

If The US simply shut down all imports from China we wouldnt have any of these issues.

I still don't fully understand why the target is those who charge for their services. This has baffled me from the beginning. Although this doesn;t go for everyone, those who charge are trying to make a name for themselves and therefore have more at stake and a personal interest to not make...

http://www.theverge.com/2014/11/13/7205741/i-almost-killed-someone-with-a-drone i was surprised to see how much the camera wobbles around when hovering, even indoors.

I just figured you were trying them out for reviews. Now you can't say "I never inhaled." I'm just giving you a hard time. :) I know they make good stuff. It's just the downside of making things in mass quantities from a company that doesn't make any effort to be supportive to the people...

Makes me want to pee.

Bart flying something DJI?? never thought I would see the day.

Yeah, seagulls hate these things! They circle the helo and take swoops at it but never hit it. very nerve racking! And I am pretty sure if they so much as touch it, a prop would break and it would go down fast. Another potentially good reason to have prop guards on. If you have any friends...

I guess I was being selfish thinking I would be the first to do this. Oh well. http://motherboard.vice.com/read/the-first-drone-shot-porn-is-beautiful-nsfw

It depends a lot on the weight below as well. Are you adding a gimbal/camera? That weight could be balanced by the lipo up top. All in all you just need to get it somewhat close. Unlike a boat these are completely computer controlled so although it might be less work for the FC to stabilize...
