    I'm looking for a controller for an X-star premium. The left control stick mounting bracket on mine is broken. If it's not too pricy. I'm in Alberta Canada.

    Battery Storage Question...

    Does anyone have experience with this charger? iMAX B6AC Version 2 Digital $56.99 US$ (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00ZGZZ40K/ref=psdc_2234135011_t1_B00466PKE0) It is sold by Amazon.com and seems to be highly rated. I presume you would need an adapter for the XPS, if so does anyone know where to...

    Camera Won't Connect

    Just the obvious that I presume you’ve already tried. I see that you are inside. What happens when you are outside? Is the mode selector on GPS? Did you turn on RC first and then X-Star? What happens if you press “calibrate” I’m guessing nothing? Have you tried a different lightning cable? Is it...

    altitude variations

    Yes snow will definitely affect it. Read the manual it says that flying over a solid pattern will affect it’s “depth” perception. ... oh, and cold temps will affect the battery life. I got mine for Christmas and live in the cold north so I of course had to fly it even tho it was cold .... cold...

    Utah mountain fall colors

    We were just there this past weekend. We drove up the Squaw Peak trail and then up the Alpine Loop past the Timpanogos trail parking area. We didn't drive all the way back to American Fork, but we did see some beautiful fall colors.

    Official firmware update is V2.0.12 As of 10\25\2017

    Just one quick question about firmware. Are the releases cumulative, or do you have to apply them in sequence? That answer may be available on the Autel site, but its SO much easier to ask you guys! ☺☺

    X-Star Premium battery issue

    Well I was advised today by DHL that my battery was on its way back to me. Unfortunately I have to pay duties and taxes of $15.49. While it is better than buying a new battery, it makes us poor Canucks feel a little second class! (And yes I did contact Autel and they confirmed that they don't...

    X-Star Premium battery issue

    I was contacted the next day by Jacob of Customer Service saying he would send out replacements. Now THAT is a fast response. Very pleased.

    Had The Poop Scared Out Of Me

    Read this after seeing "Poop"! Thought it might be interesting. It was! It would have been interesting to have a read on your pulse and BP at the time .... I can imagine how I would have felt. Good going keeping your cool and landing the thing. I'm still paranoid about flying the thing off my...

    My first attempt at prop dyeing

    I can also tell you that I use it with an iPad Air running ios 10.0.2 and a Nexus 5 running droid 6.0.1. Occasionally the screens on both will glitch when it temporarily looses video connection, but for the most part, they are equally just as good. I did try it on an old iPad 2 ... had to change...

    X-Star Premium battery issue

    Hi! This summer I experienced a problem with one of the batteries on my X-Star Premium. I was flying the drone at about 90 feet pretty much straight above me with the flight time remaining of approximately 13 minutes. All of a sudden it dropped to zero and the drone came down. Fortunately I...

    Controller Calibration

    It subsequently did prompt to calibrate the controller, and when I did so, it did show the graphic as in the guide and does beep at the end of each of the four ends of the left/right control stick movement and at the two ends of the gimbal pitch dial. The manual does describe the beep. So I'm...

    Newbie

    Busboy, I'm a newbie too! However, my understanding, and from experience, is that if it is fully discharged (or below 80%), just charge the thing with it turned off. When it is done, it will eventually go all green and then the indicators will turn off. The manual says you should disconnect it...
