    Horizontal 'digital' camera yaw/pan

    They do. And it is exactly what is happening.

    NEVER FLY IN FOG

    It is in the manual to not fly in fog, because it interferes with sensors. The bottom VPS sensors, as stated, lose reference to ground. The fog is well documented to affect this. Some have reported the drone *refuses* to land. Yes, a barometer is used , as well as GPS. However when the bottom...

    Flying Around Cell Towers?

    Microwave ovens operate at 2.4Ghz, that's why!

    How do YOU hand launch?

    I do the gesture mode double-tap, and then take it out of gesture mode. Something I noticed: if you do the gesture mode way, it recognizes the drone starts at 1.5m height (or however high your arm is off the ground). If you launch using an assigned take-off button, then hand-height is logged as...

    Silicon Skins For Spark

    On the ones I have seen, the battery is not covered (so you can swap it easily). I haven't tried it, looks like excess weight.

    Drone vs aircraft wing

    This has already been posted. Twice.

    Hundreds violate FAA's Drone no fly zone at Albuquerque's Baloon fiesta

    DJI has made the Aeroscope software open to any manufacturer who wishes to use it, but as far as I know, nobody else has jumped on board. From what I read here, Aeroscope only detects DJI: Drone Detection FLYMOTION Unmanned Systems

    WiFi analyser is a app all Spark owners should have.

    Used to use this app at work, when looking for unsecure wifi connections. Great app!

    Interesting Experiment. Drone Vs an aircraft wing.

    Those vortices would have negligible effect at the fast closing speeds. This is not FAA propaganda. Lab testing is needed to find out the effects of these collisions so that aircraft design can be directed to adapt to the change. The scientist even says this: if drones were more fungible...

    Interesting Experiment. Drone Vs an aircraft wing.

    They explain the speed. It's a worst case scenario, 200mph plane vs a 38mph Phantom, head on.

    OTG or not to OTG?

    That was ages ago. Latest firmwares fully support OTG.

    OTG soon to be history

    Bud, you have been reviving a LOT of long dead threads. While I appreciate you using the search function or something, please be mindful of how old they are, and if they contain no longer relevant information. Like this thread.

    Flying a drone.

    Once upon a time, to get into RC, required building your plane nearly from scratch, from a kit you bought at a local hobby shop. Then you had to go to a local hobby field (towns long since had bans on RC in parks), where you would need to demonstrate you were capable of flying and earn your...

    When a drone hits an airplane wing

    Proper testing done with a Phantom and an actual airplane wing. Turns out the plane would survive, but not without significant damage. To understand the end, vs a bird strike: birds are squishy, so while they cause damage, do not penetrate the plane. Drones are not squishy, so they can punch...

    DJI GO 4 vs LITCHI

    Anyone else use litchi and otg? Is there anything missing when using it?
