    Hard case or stronger bag needed over Premium bundle bag?

    The hard case for my Lite+ arrived. I should have went this route to start. I now have an Apache 3800 and the smaller hard case I won’t be using haha. You can trim the inserts under the controller so the sticks can be left on or leave them and fit an extra battery under the controller. I trimmed...

    Compass won’t calibrate lite+

    Mine calibrated ok after the update this morning. Was wrapped up all weekend (plus it was raining) so I didn't get to try until today.

    New Lite+ pilot ... hopefully ;)

    I saw one other pilot post about the landing under low battery experience but can't find it now. I'm not sure if it was error on our part (being used to DJI Phantom 4 Pro for me) or if it's something a firmware will change. Basically the drone would land but I couldn't kill the motors. It would...

    Overall I like it. Very smooth flying drone other than the broken hyperlapse. Hopefully firmware fixes that. I've not flown alot but no issues other than getting it to land and shutoff during a low battery RTH was scary.

    Firmware Update: LITE/LITE+ 1.2.16

    I did the firmware update earlier. I did an IMU calibration and compass calibration. Didn't notice the gimble sway on table but hyperlapse is really bad. Did 2 short clips and it's unusable. Note to android users. The wording is different on the IMU calibration. If you find the calibration...

    Hello All

    Welcome to the forum. I've no experience with the X Star so hopefully someone chimes in. You may want to pose the question in the X Star section also. Best of luck!

    Hard case or stronger bag needed over Premium bundle bag?

    It’s good for the price. If I had it all to do over I would order the black plastic version they have that is larger and skip this one and the Harbor Freight. It’s a little tight getting the drone in and out. I’ll use the Harbor Freight mostly but the new case will slip into a backpack or get...

    Hard case or stronger bag needed over Premium bundle bag?

    The small case I ordered from AliExpress finally arrived. A little cramped but it’s ok. Charging strip and other odds and ends fit in zippered lid and it closes. Edit: Harbor Freight Apache 3800 shown for comparison. Link to new case was posted earlier in this thread.

    Hard case or stronger bag needed over Premium bundle bag?

    Yes. I let it all dry 24 hrs before putting anything into the cavities. I have also been leaving the case open on occasion. I’d much prefer a custom case but there’s little to choose from.

    Hard case or stronger bag needed over Premium bundle bag?

    It fuses the remaining foam to keep it from falling apart. There’s several YouTube videos on the subject. I sprayed a coat a waited 10-20 minutes and did 8 coats total. Most recommend 10. Also be mindful of the pointy egg crate foam in the lid. It will press the power buttons on the batteries if...

    Hard case or stronger bag needed over Premium bundle bag?

    I’m not a fan of the pick and pluck foam but for the price plus a little patience with a can of plasti dip and some glue they turn out ok. I spent an evening doing mine and then let the insert air out for 24 hrs. There’s still a slight odor if you put your nose a couple of inches away. I have a...
