Thanks. Much appreciated.

I understand. I only ask about the Q500 because I have an opportunity to pick one up on Craigslist at a pretty reasonable price and I am reluctant to put my smaller drones at risk unnecessarily if the larger, beefier Q500 can do the job. For the time being, I am talking about building...

I have a few smaller DJI drones (Spark, Air, Mini) and a Parrot Anafi. I have been flying as a hobbyist for about a year and a half am testing for my 107 Certificate next week. I am wondering whether my Anafi or Air are the right tools for commercial jobs because of their size, weight and...

Link?

Have you looked at Seashore for OSX? I am not sure about RAW files, but I find it does what I need as a simple hobbiest and it's free.

But, you can get some great drone shots of Russia from there.

Heading to Florida for a week's vacation from the Northeast on Saturday. Packing my Tello and Breeze. Anafi's going to stay home and keep and eye on the homestead.

Just closing the loop on this thread by stating the obvious (an restating some very good advice). Flying with the sticks pinched between my thumb and pointer finger has proved to provide much more control than my thumbs on the top of the sticks. Thanks, folks.

I had the smallest of crashes today and just noticed the glass circular lens on the bottom of my Breeze is now missing. Does anyone have experience with flying without it? Any experience is replacing it either with an OEM part or other DIY fixes? That is definitely the last time I attempt to...

Does anyone have any experience flying the Breeze with a Google Nexus 7 tablet? I've heard about compatibility issues with various devices. Any thoughts here?

Is there a mode or are there adjustments that can be made to the controller that will provide smoother video. By this I mean, is there a way to soften the jerky movement of the Breeze thatbreaults from steering, etc? My Parrot Anafi and DJI Ryze Tello each have flight modes that “slow” the...

I dunked my DJI Ryze Tello in a hot tub. Rice worked.

Of course I have no point of reference to the H for comparison but one of the quads in my stable is the Parrot Anafi, which I find to be plenty sporty for my tastes when I'm in that mood. Reasonably priced, very portable and still a great cinematic photo drone.
