Unfortunately many of us found out recently that the batteries are now discontinued.

I didn't know that trick, I'll give it a shot, thanks! I got a reply from Autel, and these batteries are gone for good. :( So, keep your batteries maintained, and hope they last a lot of cycles!

Update on the now working battery : Looks like I got lucky! Capacity looks good, cells are balanced, and nothing out of the ordinary happened during flight. At least I can still fly it! What a relief. Sucks I lost a battery, but nothing I can do about it now. Since it's toast, I might take it...

I mean a battery manufacturer that makes their own, and is compatible with the X-Star. It was on bangood, so who knows if it's any good or not. Was significantly cheaper though. Yep, I've got a pumpkin Star. If a battery works, it could be any color, haha!

Thanks, I sent an email to customer service. I'll update with their response. Hopefully they're just sold out and production is behind due to the virus. I did find one aftermarket battery, but it was sold out as well, haha!

Quick update, I got the battery that showed signs of life to take a charge. I hooked it up to a 12v power supply for a few seconds, and that was enough to jump start it. Of course I'll have to plug the battery into the drone to see the status once it's charged and take some easy, low altitude...

Unfortunately life has gotten in the way of my flying for the last 3-4 months, and thus the batteries have been left on their own as well. I went to charge my two batteries, and neither will take a charge. One has no lights, the other will only turn on and off, and flash the green ring around...

Thank you! I did some further reading on 3D DNR, and it's a newer method of noise reduction. It seems to work by processing multiple frames over time, and uses that data to blend frames, to remove noise, in a far more efficient manner than previous DNR methods. It also leads to much smaller file...

Yeah, it can be tough to find good places to fly. It's just so crowded in the Bay Area. Luckily I'm in the mountains, far from airports and cities and the like, so I've got a few places I can go. Plus I've got a nice pasture to fly around in. Not much room, but enough for practice. Biggest...

Combing through the camera settings, I see an option for 3d Noise Reduction. What does this do exactly? Are there any instances where it would be better to have on or off?

Hi all, just got a refurbished X-Star Wifi last week. I live in the Peninsula in California, not too far from Half Moon Bay. Got about three flights in so far, and loving it! Still have a bit to learn, but getting there. This is my fifth bird to date, glad to add it to the hangar. I look forward...
