I can't answer that from experience. It is possible that it could act as a solvent and soften or remove certain finishes or coatings but that would remote in my opinion. Personally, I wouldn't risk it since distilled water is so inexpensive and available. If you did a quick rinse and dry it...

If you submerge an electronic device, try this technique, it might save it. Pull the battery ASAP. Do this first. Do not let the drone or cell phone or whatever you are trying to save dry out. Put it in a plastic bag if you have to. Drying out will almost assuredly ruin it. It is not usually...

I have an Evo 1

I called Autel and it is a shortcut to Dynamic Track, Viewpoint, Orbit, Waypoint etc. Touching it will bring up other the options. Wish there were a way to delete it because it blocks part of the screen.

Thanks. That's a relief. I don't know why Autel thinks it's important that I have a constant reminder. It blocks part of the display and I can't make it disappear.Please Autel, stop helping me!

Let me rephrase the question. Has anybody else seen the blue box on their display? My concern is that I put lots of reflective tape on my drone and might have caused this warning. I have not seen it before and was hoping it was just a software update.

I just started getting a blue box on the upper left of my cell phone display that says" manual flight intelligent photo". This is a new addition to my display. What does it mean? Was this from a new software update?

Couldn't figure out how to upload photos. Just shows a block entitled compressed zip.

I'll take some tonight and see if I can upload them.

Doesn't matter what color it is at night. With a bright enough flashlight you could probably see the reflective tape from 200 or more yards. I put red reflective tape on top of the batteries and silver on the arms and sides of the battery. It lights up like a Christmas tree when hit with a...

I want to put reflective tape on my EVO to aid in recovery. I figure I could go look at night with a powerful flashlight and stand a good chance of finding it. My concern is that the tape might interfere with some sensor or GPS etc. Are there any areas where I should avoid putting tape? Where...

Thank you. A screen recording will work well for my purposes.

I don't know what the rules are. They were directly over the center lane flying against traffic and going very slowly, all three in a row. Coolest thing I ever saw. Back in the mid 70's I had a neighbor who was a winch operator on a military helicopter. When they moved the 1550th helicopter...

I found this thread very interesting. Las Sunday I was in Las Vegas heading towards a Bass Pro Shop somewhere in the south of the city. My brother was driving on a freeway when he said "Look at that!" We looked down the road and there were three Chinooks directly over the freeway at no more than...

I'm going to look into a Marco Polo. The area I was flying in southern New Mexico is heavily forested and there is no cell phone coverage.I was concerned that with no ability to load a map, if it crashed I wouldn't be able to find it. So much to learn but losing my drone is not something I want...
