Hmmm, that's odd. I've been using UAV Forecast for over 6 months and I can count the number of times it's been a little off on one hand. I dont just live by UAV Forecast though, I pay attention to my local forecast and I use Accuweather for an hourly report. Between the three of those I've never...

I thought it was inevitable that this would happen. Why the Pentagon has been slow to come up with a plan I dont know. Pentagon Confronts a New ISIS Threat: Exploding Drones

Very informative video by Jeff Sibelius

never mind. My question was answered in CloneDrone's thread

Crosshairs? What am I missing here?

When I was mulling over which drone to go with,the Parrot Bebop 2 had just comeout, the Phantom 3 pro and the Horizon Hobby Chroma 4K were the big dogs. I had dropped the Phantom from my choice due to the Customer Service horror stories that were abundant on the forums. I liked the reviews of...

These are more Murphy's Laws of drone flying.

Your #2 card will "work". It may or may not record the video smoothly. I would suggest that you try it. If when you play the video back it plays smoothly then you're good to go. If the video skips or stutters then you will need one of the higher class cards. Normally, these days, computers are...

Since the card going into the ST16 is recording data only you can use any of the SDHC/SDXC minis that you have. The only "specialized" card you need is going into the camera. Video recording requires faster traznsfer rates and you get those in the Class 6 and above. For 4K recording you need to...

SD = Secure Digital (FAT16, up to 2GB) SDHC = Secure Digital High Capacity (FAT32, 4GB to 32GB) SDHC is not backward compatible with devices requiring SD SDXC = Secure Digital Extreme Capacity (xFAT/FAT32, 32GB - 2TB) It is recommended that you use class 10 microSDHC or microSDXC card in the...

Does anyone know what they mean when they say, "wind load"? They didn't say, "wind speed". I have not had to interrupt any of their other wordings as if they were translating Chinese into broken English so I am thinking wind load means something different than wind speed. Find this...

I've owned the Q500 4K and the 'H' and I dont believe either operating manuals have any mention of maximum wind speed for safe flying. I would assume that if they posted something and someone had an incident that occured in 1 MPH greater conditions they would be liable for law suit, so it is...

Could you post a link to the video? Just saying it's on Youtube doesnt help very much or am I missing something?

Me thinks it was a figure of speech and not a literal comment.
