Shouldn't it be most stable in VPS mode, using the downwards and upwards sensors to stabilise its position? A magnetic error should not cause uncontrollable drift in that situation, right?

Mindblowingly awesome. Care to share your techniques?

I have had some experience with tethered UASes, as we deployed some at a national event in 2016. Wasn't using DJI platforms, but autonomous commercial rigs. We used steel cables on a reel, and the attachment points on the UAVs were on solid metal extensions to keep the tether away from the...

Back to the original question, my 2 cents. 1. Insert batteries without props. You need them to get out of landing mode anyway. Additionally, you don't want to insert the batteries with props in the way (in case they spin up for whatever reason). 2. Power OFF I2 and double check. This will avoid...

FPV cameras are usually lower resolution as that helps in latency (delays caused during transmission). Many top FPV racers use the RunCam system which has until very recently been mostly 640x480. They do amazing stuff with it, so it has to be sufficient (check out Rotor Riot on YouTube). That...

This is awesome. I've been hesitating on pulling the trigger on this, not fitting in the holder was a deal breaker. Deal unbroken! Thanks for sharing.

This should be a warning for the obstacle avoidance system, not the camera. The obstacle avoidance sensors use a combination of vision and ultrasonic sensors for detecting obstacles in your flight path, and requires good lighting conditions to work. The app is warning you that the ambient light...

DLT, great point about the props. I am tempted by the HeliEngadin folding props, but decided to hold off and see what the fuss is about the stock props first (do they really rattle?) Otherwise, i am actually asking about third party accessories like cases, packs, grab handles etc. The standard...

Hi everyone, long time lurker. I finally pulled the trigger on an i2+X5S, upgrading from a P4. I mainly do still photography, shameless plug here Aerial & Drone - the geek photography Any thoughts on what the must-have accessories are for the i2, which will make life significantly easier...
