Hi Fly, Thanks for the response and suggestions. Yes, it was about 45 out when I started. And the batteries were at the minimum safe flying temp (I think 70). I do remember this happening for the first time this past summer on a warm day. ATTI was fun And educational to try but GPS is the...

So was out for a five battery drain flight on a nice (45 degree) day in Chicago on Sunday. On a large field, I was interested in running the batteries down to about 5% so I can do a full charge on each later. Side note: on 4 of the 5, I had the dangerous situation where the battery had 12%...

Yes Josh, I saw that too. As I’ve seen, their whole shopping platform is based on EVO as the only primary product with little available for the XSP (unless you need a case, lanyard, charger or a hat). At least XSP propellers and landing gear are currently still available. No longer offering...

Ah, Red Bits ... got it.

Agree Hilo +1 Those that don’t learn from the past are condemned to repeat it - over and over again.

Red bits?

YuKay, where did you see those positions? Indeed has several service positions, but not the ones you indicated. Their careers web page has a few tech positions in Germany, China and Pittsburgh. Jeff needs some help which I’d like to provide if it can be performed in Chicago. One can only ask ;)

45 MPH!?! That was ludicrous! And very cool. Nice landscape vid too.

Interesting formation. From a 2D perspective, it looks like the long, nearly single file, line of birds were following in the wind draft of the front line flyers.

Hilo, I just checked Natalie (Dir of Communications in the older Autel vids) LinkedIn profile and (as for her) she moved on from Autel in July of last year. I was curious and looked at all Autel employees on LI ... there are no apparent Marketing leaders currently with the company.

That’s a great idea too. Hopefully we all NEVER have to use it that way.

Totally agree with your thought process UnRanged. I too look at user input as well before making a purchase decision. And my own experience with Autel service has been market-leading (including the replacement of an XSP). IMO, they should also apply market-leading communications practices to...

Makes perfect sense. Thanks! I just downloaded "DU Recorder" from the iOS app store and will give it a try.

Okay, possibly a super easy thing I’m overlooking, but can you record sound from onboard XSP while in flight? I know the props would engulf the audio, but many videos I’ve seen on this forum appear to have prop sound from the flight. Or is that all added in post? Or some other way?

My first, and only current drones, are two XSPs. I was looking at Autel’s website for EVO info and disappointed that their website marketing is so poor in promoting this new product (frankly their whole site kind of stinks). Especially when comparing to DJI’s Mavic Pro 2 website info. Perhaps...
