What an idiot I am! I totally forgot about it. I guess I've been flying my Inductrix in the house too long! I was so focused on having the obstacle avoidance off I forgot about the rabbit/turtle dial. The weather has been so crappy here for the last month I've been stuck in the house.

Just curious if anyone is watching the forum currently. I haven't flown my H in about a month but we got some snow today and I wanted to take some photos so I dusted it off and took it out. I am flying in Angle mode with the obstacle avoidance switched off and still cannot get the drone to fly...

"Did you ever receive an answer. I noticed that the backing away stopped when I went to a realsense equipped H." Can't say that I have. It will stop in front of me but if I walk toward it I believe I could walk right into it without it moving. I know that in smart mode it will move away but I...

I understand perfectly and agree. I just mentioned these bases as an alternative to the charge cables that are being sold that allow for hook up to smart chargers/analyzers. I wouldn't use the bases with just a power supply to resemble the factory charger either but you could if you'd like (e.g...

I agree but I needed a convenient and reliable way to connect the batteries to my chargers/dischargers. I use a 550 watt PS with two Orion Advantage Touch Chargers (12 amp, 150 watt charge / 20 amp discharge + balance - each) I like that they can be connected to the computer to view and save...

FYI, I just purchased two charging base kits from Terrestrial Imaging. They are original Yuneec charging bases that are supplied as a DIY kit to allow for being attached to intelligent charger/dischargers. They come with the base and the connectors and wires with wiring instructions. I have...

Just got one of these 7000 mah batteries to compare with the Yuneec batteries. I did a balance, charge & discharge cycle on it. I used the same parameters I have been using for my Yuneec batteries such as cut offs and charge and discharge rates so I could compare 'apples to apples'. The battery...

That's probably why every time I've seen it following someone at high speed there were never obstacles around. Come to think of it the Eyesight crash avoidance in my Subaru will only prevent a crash up to I think 35 MPH

GREAT! Thanks Rob. That was exactly what I was looking for. I've mostly used ND filters in still photography to slow shutter speeds for water falls and for getting proper DOF.

I thought I read one time that the shutter speed should be twice the frame rate. Does anyone know what that target shutter speed should be?

So what should one be looking for when determining whether to use a ND filter and then what number to use?

Just a thought... Does the ST16 adjust the warning voltage based on distance of the craft from home? If not I think it would be a great feature if it did.

I have been flying in 'angle' mode with obstacle avoidance off lately to learn how to better fly the drone. For the heck of it I turned 'obstacle avoidance' on yesterday to see if it would avoid a small leafless tree. (Which it did nicely) However, I noticed that it slowed the drone down to a...

I know it isn't difficult to remove the landing gear and camera but wonder how difficult (or time consuming) it would be to remove the prop. arms. That would make for a really compact package to protect while traveling.

Hope he will get through his beta program soon and have the app available for sale. Just hope that he doesn't market it as a subscription. I absolutely hate that. I rather buy software outright (or lifetime lease) and pay for upgrades as I see fit or can afford.
