    Excuse my ignorance: what is a 4s battery?

    Dusted Off The X-Star Premium

    Great video. Nice scenery. Just goes to show what a good drone the X-Star really was/is. Still get to use mine quite often. Always stable and reliable, but down to 3 batteries now...

    Battery Ressurection

    Here's Autel's CS response to my question of when XSP batteries are coming back into stock: Thanks for contacting Autel Customer Support. I'm sorry to say but we are no longer manufacturing batteries for the Xstar platform. We have extinguished our stock a few weeks back. My suggesting is to...

    Battery Reset Procedures

    Yeah, I'm going through the same thing right now with an XSP battery. I tried all the reset options and, at one point, actually got it "charged" enough to put it into the drone and see in StarLink that 3 of the 4 cells were charged to around 4 volts each. The one cell was around 3 volts before...

    XSP remote controller not holding charge

    Thanks for your reply. Have you actually done it? I'm willing to give it a try. Just didn't know if there's anything special I need to look out for before I go hacking around inside.

    XSP remote controller not holding charge

    Seems like my 3 year old XSP remote controller is no longer holding a charge like it used to. I was able to fly through 4 drone batteries and still have about 35% charge left on the controller. Now, the charge drops down to 18% after 2 batteries. Anyone else? I checked with Autel and CS said...

    Flying The X-Star in The Snow

    I like showing these XSP videos to my 13 year old son. I usually get the new standard reply - "Ok Boomer..."

    Camera issue or SD Card issue?

    Since my original post, I have been using that same SD card, inserted into an adapter, in my Canon DSLR. No issues. Maybe the card just couldn't handle the high speed writing anymore.

    Camera issue or SD Card issue?

    I agree, I will just get a new card. I was just trying to avoid it now because the cost seems to have gone up lately on them. I did clean the contacts on the camera and gimbal. My thoughts on the video interference was that it was occurring while video was being written to the card. Thought...

    Camera issue or SD Card issue?

    Thanks for the suggestions. I did another round of formatting on both sd cards, using the SD Formatter program. I did an "overwrite format", followed by a "quick format". After flying and recording, I found that the original sd card from Autel (SanDisk ultra) had the same issues, but the newer...

    Camera issue or SD Card issue?

    Thank you for your responses. I've always recorded in 4K so I don't think that triggered this issue. Also, I've tried formatting in the aircraft once and that didn't work. But I just cleaned the contacts between the gimbal and camera, and the contacts on the cards. I'll try another round of...

    Camera issue or SD Card issue?

    Hello all, I'm new to the forum and really enjoy all the info you guys give. Hope you can offer a solution to this issue. I've been able to video and shoot photos just fine for several months now. But last week, I got this error message in the attached screenshot that I can't explain. It's...
