Hi, all, I am having trouble binding an ST16 that came with a Real Sense H480, to a slightly older H480 that did not have Real Sense. I can get the H480 to give me the orange indicator light, and I have no problem binding the camera. But the ST16 tells me the bird is not compatible. It flies...

Hmmm...good advice. Thank you.

If it's not blown out too badly, there is a trick I learned on the Sony Vegas forum. In Vegas (now owned by Magix) load the clip onto the time line. Add the following special effects to the clip: Invert color, color corrector, Invert Color in that order. In the color corrector, increase the...

I had to fly across a swampy area with some tall-looking trees (like 100 footers) to take some photos of an old, old cemetery. To complicate things, the trees were standing on a 30 foot hill. Trying to make sure I could get as low as possible without hanging up in a tree, I flew to 250' AGL with...

So, you were at 10 feet AGL, inside the house much less than 3 miles visibility, ceiling only 8' or so. If you were 107 certified, you will likely get demoted to 106.5. The good news, since it's a hex, it could still move under control with one broken prop. Perhaps the clouds outside were...

+1 for Handbrake. Remarkable picture quality from small files.

Fly them one at a time in front of a green screen. Use your video editor to combine them and eliminate the green background. If you don't have a capable editor, Vegas Pro 15 is only $25 on a special offer at humblebundle.com up to Christmas Day. VP 16 is the current version, but 15 is very capable.

This video was an "AHA" moment for me - removing the dust cover made it all possible. Dental floss works great. I used it to pull the damper through the holes, then cut a short piece of it to use in place of the pin. I left enough slack for the damper to expand some.

I notice that when I have wifi enabled on my Samsung S7 cell phone, and there is no wifi service available, it will run down the battery trying to connect to whatever it saw last. I wonder if that is happening with the Android tablet inside the ST16?

Thank you all.

I managed to land the H today with the gear up - camera popped 3 of the 4 dampers out. Thanks to YouTube, I used the string method and got the 2 re-seated that don't have the safety pin through the middle. How do you do the one with the pin in it. Doesn't seem possible to use the string.

Actually, unboxing videos are very useful if you are trying to pack a kit into its original shipping materials for a return or service. Just sayin'...

+1 for BRU. Don't be intimidated by the UI - it's ugly but actually pretty straightforward. Youtube has tutorials.

Part of the joy of exFAT is it is compatible with Macs, too.

Yes it did come with one. I have considered taking a marine battery with me into the field and run a 12v charger, as opposed to powering from the car.
