    EVO Explorer App Users--It is now officially released! Boat Mode & Mission Planning feature v1

    Yes I know it's happened in the past. I also know that it's communicated when they're removed, and you can restore it from your phone even. Drones are a side thing/hobby. Supporting web infrastructure and mobile apps is what actually pays my bills. I'm just saying it's NOT a good look to have...

    EVO Explorer App Users--It is now officially released! Boat Mode & Mission Planning feature v1

    It's been 2.5 days. So you either need to enable installations from other sources, (annoying) OR not have the app since they're all at CES I guess and can't figure out why it's not in the play store. Whoever is over their mobile development would have gotten an email when it was pulled.

    New Pilot from North Carolina

    Real slow to reply here, but i'm on the other side of Raleigh. Wake Forest. Have to head your way at some point this week to fly over a neighborhood though. :)

    10 Days of EVO

    I use a key ring. :) Big key ring from Lowes, it was I think .49$. It goes around the phone holder arm, then lanyard clips to that. It blocks some view on the controller screen, but I mainly wanted it for balancing to mess with camera settings.

    10 Days of EVO

    1. bring it over to you, hold the land button then let it land in your flat hand. As long as you cover the sensors on the bottom, it should easily land. if it goes back up, look at remote, press "ok" and sometimes press/hold land button again. (Or you can do the method that loses fingers...

    Sneak Peak At Evo Lights

    They even say one is solid, one is in strobe mode. "We ran another Evo system using only one strobe, velcro to the Evo. We ran one side in strobing mode and the other instrument in a solid illuminator mode. " So it is a switch to choose.

    What larger phones / small tablets is everyone using with their Evo?

    Did the thrive even get updated to android 4? (Ice Cream Sandwich) But I think Explorer app has a minimum of Kit Kat aka, 4.4? That said I had tons of issues with it on Pie, (Android 9) but no issues since beta 6 on Android 10. (I wish google had stuck with food names)

    Camera Quality is poor

    Pass. I like cold weather. But I do love Aruba.

    Camera Quality is poor

    Nope. But as a fat man an average 76% humidity at 89 degrees here in Raleigh is a lot worse than 71% at 82 you guys have. But both make you like AC. [emoji16][emoji16][emoji16]

    Camera Quality is poor

    In humidity this is critical. The screen on the controller seems to be a great barometer for this. Once the fog on my controller screen is gone, I know the drone is good. Stupid southern humidity.

    Waypoint feature not functioning - Returing for repair

    Quick question, with it "not working" do you get error messages? or it just does nothing? When I sent mine back in for some weirdness with this update, they couldn't reproduce it, even though I can reproduce it more often than not.

    Disconnected

    That was showing disconnect on phone, not on controller, sounds like he's seeing disconnect on controller as well as the phone. If they controller shows "connecting" then it's not the cable. If it's just the phone, then hit the display button on controller, and you can see the camera view...

    battery left on drone?

    Depending on your case, toss several silica gel packets in with the drone if you're worried. Even the soft autel case it really does help. Only downside to the soft case, is you have to "renew" the gel packets pretty often. I save almost all those packets, and even bought a bunch on amazon...

    Those that have sent drones back, about how long did it take?

    Well, if I bought a fourth drone it wouldn't matter. My wife would kill me. [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23] I actually bought and sold and inspire 1v2 recently cause as soon as I got it, I realized it wasn't for me. I have a spark that i take everywhere and a phantom 3...

    Those that have sent drones back, about how long did it take?

    Scratch that. "no issues" turns into, we're doing test flights today, and going to validate it. :( aka, "no issues" sounds like it means it wasn't trashed and I hadn't flown it into a tree etc. No shots from the boat for me. Sigh. :(
