It's hit or miss. There is a drone aisle at Best Buy. When I bought the battery and bundle, those were literally the only Autel things they had. No drones. They had maybe 2 DJI drones and a pack of propellers. Not well stocked for sure.

Was in BB today picking up a new keyboard and wandered over to where they had the drones. They were selling batteries for $49 and the Evo Bundle (2 batteries, props and a bag) for $109. Basically they were 50% off. I bought the bundle and a battery. So now I have 2 bags, plenty of props and...

But as an owner, I have the choice to load said firmware. My biggest issue is one place I like to fly is an overlook we get to on our SXS. I can send it up and it can follow us for miles on top of an old strip mine. Hard for it to do that in the woods so this is a treat. But this place is...

This thread just might help determine that. I know if I were in the market for a drone right now, Autel would probably be pushed down the list simply because of this. They had an advantage over DJI because the lack of geo-fencing, but it seems they are determined to pi$$ it all away.

Your BB has drones in stock? Mine has none. Of any brand.

Batteries, not drones. LOL

Picked up 2 at my local BestBuy yesterday. They had them hanging there, so I grabbed them. Have a total of 5 now so I should be good.

This could be interesting. Says similar laws are working their through statehouses across the country. https://apnews.com/article/legislature-nevada-coronavirus-pandemic-cd337d1335c7f27aea8f5a82e94bead3

When I was a kid, my dad and I flew RC planes. And I ran RC cars. To save a bit of money, we bought one really nice controller and used it for both my cars and the plane (this was way back before they had the nice ones with steering wheels :)). So one day we went out to fly the plane and I...

Thanks. Will check them out today.

So this morning I decided to get some footage of the ice storm. Got it out of the bag and everything was going well until my phone popped out of the holder. Put it back and it popped right back out again. Then I noticed the rubber at the top of the phone holder was missing. Anyone ever lose...

So this morning after the ice storm I sent mine up for some video of the neighborhood. Ended up getting some footage of the interstate and exit ramps (they were a mess). So as I was looking at it, I decided to send it to a local TV station in case they wanted to air it. Fair or foul?

Dup post.

Just experienced this. Sent mine up for some video of the ice storm. Noticed my battery was at 15+ minutes of flight time. Had to land because I forgot to put the SD card in, so I swapped batteries and same thing. All my batteries were fully charged 2 weeks ago when took our SXS out, but...

Just wondering how long it will take some of these smaller tech companies to realize they don't need to be paying the high rents in places like Palo Alto. The pandemic has shown us people can and will work anywhere.
