I have the standard controller. It takes overnight to charge the thing using the Autel charger, and it never gets above 98%. I have tried 2 different chargers with the same result. Are the batteries replaceable? I REFUSE to send anything back to autel for repair after an issue with my live...

I finally got the Live Deck back....AND I had to pay duty and brokerage fees on top of everything else!

Here's my experience with this organization. I bought a brand new Live Deck on ebay. Arrived sealed in the box. Worked great for about 2 months, then the camera functions stopped working when using it on a tablet with USB. They sent me an RMA number I paid to ship it in for repair. So today I...

Update....I have to mail the !*#* thing to Washington for warranty service. That warranty service is costing me $30 !

I have used Live Deck in the past with no issues, but now when USB to my Samsung S6 tablet, I can see the live video stream from the drone, but the camera controls don't work at all. I thought maybe there was an issue with the app on the tablet, but it works fine when I'm flying the drone from...

Stupid think keeps crashing my computer! Program seems to start ok. When I plug drone in I get a message that there is a problem and to scan my drive for errors. I hit Continue Without Scanning. And after about 30 seconds the BSOD pops up with a Stop Code: Kernel Security Check Failure. This...

Is it safe to upgrade yet? I have heard all sorts of horror stories about people being stuck with an orange brick after the upgrade.

I would highly recommend using Airdata to view your flight logs. One of the unique features is the ability to see your battery current drain on the map of your flight. It shows when you change modes and how much current is being drained at various speeds. I was shocked to see the current drain...

Thats the BEST source for TFRs! I noticed a TFR on my DJI app over Nashville after the bombing but I couldn't find any reference to it in local Notams or any of my other apps. After a lot of clicking i found that link. The DJI app showed the TFR number and maybe if a searched that number I...

Another explorer update with no documentation. Why add a new feature like oblique missions and not give any documentation on how to use it? I did see a link to a video on another thread, but it was incomplete. And it certainty doesn't look like any oblique pattern I've ever flown.

Well you caught me off guard. I just looked at the update and I'm a bit disappointed that there is no documentation for it. Looks like a bunch of test flights to figure it out. And at first glance it doesn't look like any oblique pattern I've ever flown.

I used Precision Mode doing the inspection of the bottom of a bridge. Since I turn the obstacle avoidance off to get close to the bottom of the deck it was smooth flying without worrying about slamming into anything!

The manual says to stay away from these environments. It has no built-in shielding for emi. Since most of the antennas on towers are directional you might get away with it if you don't fly directly in front of them. If you are flying manually you could loose control of it. I would practice...

The stopping at way points is only on grid patterns though isn't it? In way point flying you have the option to fly through the way point, or stop. That was just from what I read. Also I will say that I like the way the Evo handles transitioning to the next row. Stop, turn, move over and start...

Still doing a lot of "training flights" and building up web and portfolio content.
