I fully agree. I tried to run it on Linux Mint 22 but it just doesn't want to work. Maybe it will these days. It does run great on my Win10 editing computer though.

They claim to have "found" the drone. How the heck did they do that. The pilot didn't even know he hit something. It could have been a lot of things. Maybe it was a drone. Maybe it wasn't.

I own 3 Autelrobotics drones. They deny any involvement in the Chinese military. I have to wonder if other countries banned any US made product by a company that does business with the US military, how would that affect those companies. It doesn't have to be true, just being put on the list is...

Not good. I don't know if we can win this one but we have to try. https://dronedj.com/2025/01/07/autel-robotics-drone-blacklist-us/

They are spendy but I like the Tripltek 8 or 9. I tried the Hugerock 7" ($500) but I didn't like how it seemed to fight me with all its security built in. I could have made it work and for the savings over the Tripltek it's a decent tablet with a nice bright 2000 nit screen. I think the best one...

All I can say is that those of us who have been flying them for 3+ years have learned this lesson the hard way. I do understand your point about the insurance though. Seems to me that if the drone is working fine and in compliance with all rules and regs, there should be no issue with the...

A lot of us learned to not update the firmware on Autel drones if the drone is working fine. I do the same thing with DJI drones unless they give me a functionality I really want. That usually happens right after a release of a new drone because the software wasn't fully baked at the time of...

I have two of the Nano+ drones. I love their video quality. I don't use them for anything fancy like following me, just straight up flying for videos and photos but mostly video.

Yes, the CEO has said they are done with consumer level drones and are focusing on enterprise level drones only. I, for one, am bummed about that but it's their call, no matter how stupid I think it is. On the other hand this is China we are talking about and the CCP controls all businesses to...

That is so weird. I can't imagine why it couldn't connect to satellites unless they don't use the kind that work in Australia. Okay, this got me curious so I looked it up. Autel uses the GNSS (Glonass) and GPS satellite systems for use where those satellites cover, like the USA. Australia uses...

Drama queen much?

Unless Australia has law prohibiting drone flight, it shouldn't be. Is that where you are now?

I think the V1 doesn't say and the V2 and V3 will have a sticker or something on top.
