    Battery Mod Info

    I'm not sure why I couldn't use my set-up with more than one battery pack, as I do all the time. Hell, I've had my DJI battery dislodge mid-flight and still flew it home. I would definitely argue that a little adapter that sandwiches in the battery slot would raise way more eyebrows a simple...

    Battery Mod Info

    I guess I don't see the versatility argument given that the leads are soldered to the aircraft but I take your point that the adapter is simpler. My point on friction was regarding the adapter, but I do understand it is a tight fit. My battery is mounted using 3M Dual Lock tape and I haven't...

    Right, so friction. In any case, it's not as secure as soldered wires, which was my point.

    Battery Mod Info

    You don't have to use LiHV for the auxiliary batteries, normal LiPo will still give you extended flight time. I've said this before but I believe soldering is the best way because there's no risk of your adapter coming off for any reason. The adapter sandwiches between the battery and the...

    Understanding shutter speeds

    Very simply put for video: All else equal, a faster shutter will darken your exposure. Adjust your shutter until you have the exposure you want (how dark/bright your picture is) and ideally you should have your shutter as 1/x where x is a multiple of your FPS (or as close as possible). So if...

    Battery Mod Info

    I'm not sure I would recommend you soldering the batteries if you're not comfortable doing it on the aircraft. The way I see it, soldering the batteries is much more dangerous since it is live where as the aircraft is not (when there's no battery). If redundancy is important, consider the...

    Battery Mod Info

    Yes, as Scoobywrx05jdm2fast4furiousAWDorifto mentioned, you can mod the aircraft instead of each battery. If you search through this thread, closer to the beginning (you can sort and see if you can filter by my username), you will see how some of us just soldered two leads to the aircraft...

    X3 out of focus

    Wow, very nice. Thanks for sharing that, I did not realize the Z3 was that much better (my X3 is worthless at night time). Is it a different sensor?

    X3 out of focus

    I've had my X3 for over 2 years now and I've never had an issue with it. I've been thinking about getting the X5 for a while but I just can't justify it--I'm primarily a hobbyist, I fly on vacations and that's about it. Do you think the Z3 is a worthy upgrade over the X3? I'm not sure how...

    Battery Mod Info

    Personally, I am quite weary of the battery clips, I know many people use them without issues but wedging something, regardless of how tight the fit it, on a flying machine seems like a terrible idea to me (I also have already done the mod). It wasn't too hard to solder some leads if you're...

    Battery Mod Info

    Just for my own education and if anyone else is curious, is the current draw controlled (i.e. limited) by the ESC? I am guessing if the ESC will not draw more than 10C then there is no benefit to having a higher rated battery (assuming the battery you get is actually 10C). Has anyone tested if...

    Re-celling inspire batteries

    I think only the TB48 (and not the TB47) has LiHV cells? I think that's why the voltage rating on the label is different right (22.2v vs 22.8v)?

    Going to China... Advice?

    Sorry, I did not mean to be a downer for your trip. I've tried to get the licenses before for China and it is virtually impossible unless you are a big production company with big bucks. As a recreational flyer, forget about it, the only way you can do it is to just bring your drone and wing...

    Hello From Philippines

    Thanks! Is the license easy to get and required for non-commercial use? I was told (albeit by someone who doesn't fly drones) that there's no license requirement at all.

    Hello From Philippines

    Welcome to the forums! Could you let us know how the laws and regulations are in the Philippines for drones? I am there pretty often and am hoping to bring my drone sometime.
