    Clunking sound

    it was definitely coming from the motors or part of that system. And for the prop hubs, it was even when no props were on it. However, I armed it again last night, let it idle for over 5 minutes and didn't hear it again. But the 4 or 5 times I did it previously, it was doing that. Then took...

    Clunking sound

    I have the P4A and just recently it started making two clunk sounds when arming. And as it's sitting there idling, it will occasionally make the same clunking sound. Not on a regular interval, just randomly. The motors seems to spin smoothly by hand, no kinks. They're not loose. This is...

    WHICH TABLET?

    I've also gone to the Tripltek for all my flying. I've never had an issue, and the better visibility is very nice.

    Thermal imaging

    The mounting bracket and legs shown on the suas link are almost exactly like the ones I made.

    Thermal imaging

    Very true. In my case, I already had an expensive thermal camera and also didn't want to get a very expensive new drone. I opted for a Yuneec H520E hexacopter for less than half that, and have the camera mounted on it. Working fine.

    Thermal imaging

    A while back I did design and 3D print a mounting bracket and leg extenders to add on a thermal camera, with gimbal. Technically it did work, but the camera and gimbal I wanted to use were just a bit too heavy. It did fly, but the flight time was dramatically reduced and I didn't feel it was...

    Litchi not taking photos at all the waypoints

    It's been a while since this was started, but I'm having the exact same problem. The mission would actually only take one pic at WP1, facing the wrong direction. But, I was able to get things to work with the above suggestions of turning off curves and adding a last WP near the first so I...

    Flawless in Heavy Wind

    Out here in the plains of Colorado, it's windy a lot. If I waited until the wind stopped, I wouldn't fly much. On monday I was out practicing a house shoot on a friend's house. The gusts were well over 30mph. I could see it working a little more, but it handled it well.

    My first real job, any advice?

    Just got the actual course information for the ride. Turns out it's not a mountain bike ride. People may use mountain bikes, but it's basically just a nice ride, mostly on paved paths, in town near a golf course. So, that will make the obstacle hazards probably less of an issue, but may have...

    Tablets

    I have an S7 Edge and it's been working fine. Has never lost connectivity or crashed. I also use the Nexus 7 tablet, and it crashed once. Which was really scary, as my P4 was out quite a ways, the the whole tablet crashed, rebooted, and I thought the drone was gone for sure. But it came...

    My first real job, any advice?

    Thanks for all the tips. It's true I didn't mention much about myself or situation. I do have my 107, I do fly my drones quite a bit, I've been a student pilot (big planes), I'll have insurance, and I know what i can and can't do, and I absolutely don't want to crash my drone... so I won't. I...

    My first real job, any advice?

    In a couple of weeks I'll be doing a video shoot of a mountain biking event. It's a small town, small event. But I know someone who rides there and he got me an intro, and they were excited to have me take a stab at doing some video, especially since I offered a very reduced price, since I'm...

    Banned on DJI Forum... Discussing S7 Issue is Verboten!

    Just mentioning that my S7 Edge works great with the app. Never crashes. However, my Nexus 7 tablet just crashed yesterday. a

    Thanks for the tips. I definitely need to work on my portfolio. Andy
