The "concept" aircraft in the teaser may never appear or may be much different when it does show up. I don't expect any new models until 4th quarter, if then.

Preload the maps using wifi. I sometimes use a phone as a wifi hotspot so I can DL maps in the field.

Antenna position is very important. It is covered in the manual and there is a Autel video on the topic.

Last week I had another scary moment that was not pilot error. The XSP entered "Go Home" mode, but did not start for Home. I was over water so tjis was a major concern! I tried to cancel it and start home manually but was unable to take control. I have read about similar incidents in which...

I have had a number of "scary moments", the latest on Saturday. This one was 100% pilot error. I was flying backwards over a road that I thought was completely clear of trees. I was aware that there is some risk to flying backwards so I turned to face the direction of travel, but the camera...

I am describing this based on memory, so it may not be 100% right, but I think it may help. I think the manual describes an earlier version of Starlink. I have used Waypoints in all version of StarLink. I thought that they had made it impossible to set the altitude but they made it easier to...

is just too vague. I doubt that it possible for 5 people providing a little time to make the hobby better for everyone.

Link: Premium in the shop Sure sounds like the same problem. I overlooked your thread. The refurbished unit has a new battery and the one I sent in had 75 charges on it.

This was fixed in the 1.2.8 firmware release, but they are no longer shipping with the release.

I have cancelled RTH with Pause. You can also touch 'Cancel Home" in StarLink. In RTH mode, you can't control the heading and there are times that I wanted to return home while keeping the same camera direction. It's possible to do this manually.

Autel's Release notes for 2.0.1.17 - 2.0.1.18 See #5 Android V2.0.1.18 1. Disabled video caching. To delete previously cached video, use file manager on your phone to navigate to folder StarLink->CamPro->VideoCache, select the video and delete Android V2.0.1.17 1. Starlink is now compatible...

They sent me a prepaid 2-day shipping label, to make up for the delay. I shipped it on 11/22. 11/24 was Thanksgiving, so the delivery was scheduled for 11/25. For unknown reasons (Christmas shopping?) it was not delivered to Autel until Monday, 11/28. At 2:47pm 11/28 I received an email...

If the X-Star is turned on with the gimbal lock on, the image will be unstable. It's trying to calibrate and can't. The gimbal lock should be off if the X-Star is on.

I have had a very unhappy experience with Autel Robotics Support. They have a deservedly good reputation and are generally quick to respond to problems. They failed this time. Here is the timeline: Sat 11/05 - I flew the X-Star several times with not problems. This is my last landing...

It aggravated the video drops. Ideally it should be a user option.
