    Phantom 4 Pro charger power consumption?

    12v x 5=60W 15v x 5=85W The math of that assertion doesn't work out. At 5A, at BEST is between 70 and 75 watts. Any automotive system operating over 14.4v for very long is in trouble. I didn't mean that there was a literal current limiter in the circuit. I meant that there is a limit in the...

    Phantom 4 Pro charger power consumption?

    Correct. But, as I pointed out, it doesn't source enough current. While you'll get no argument from me regarding your fuse size, if you check the charger you will find that it doesn't draw nearly that much current. As I pointed out, you will find that the charger pulls about an Amp. I assume...

    Phantom 4 Pro charger power consumption?

    It looks like your questions were answered in the comments. I'll just add that the 12v cigarette lighter charger is basically junk. I don't remember exactly how much current the cigarette lighter sources, but I believe it was less than an amp (12 watts)...which makes it essentially useless...

    Cannot Take Off GPS Disconnected

    Those are not GPS antennas. MY assumption (agreed, not a good thing to do at times), is that the OP replaced the Flight Controller, where all of the GPS processing occurs. i.e. "GPS Module." The term "module" could be interpreted to mean any component of the GPS process....which is why I...

    Cannot Take Off GPS Disconnected

    GPS "Module?" Hmmm... If that is what he is calling the "antenna," then I would edit the OP to reflect the correct nomenclature. That said... Yes, a replacement puck antenna could be defective. I've only replaced two puck antennas in my life, and one of the replacements was defective out of...

    Cannot Take Off GPS Disconnected

    I would guess that the puck antenna is cracked or disconnected. Reconnect and/or replace. You won't know anything until you open her up. D

    54% China tariff

    Chinese drones are manufactured by cheap Chinese labor with no labor unions or ADA compliance and cheaply developed with no FAA or DOT restrictions and cheaply manufactured with raw materials that are cheaply mined with no EPA restrictions. Because of this, the Chinese get to sell their cheap...

    54% China tariff

    The same first and third-party software compatibility DJI enjoys now would migrate over to any other drone company who becomes #1 seller in America. Or said software would be replaced with something better. Like any other company, software developers follow the money. D

    54% China tariff

    Yep. The 4% are shaking in their boots. To assert that the market will never recover would be obtuse. I predict it will fully recover and STAY recovered before the year is out. D

    54% China tariff

    Please notice that I used quotations around "ripping us off" for a reason. I was quoting the president, not necessarily siding with his sentiment. My summation of what the president means by "ripping us off" is the non-monetary barriers, which I will get into in a subsequent comment below...

    54% China tariff

    My mistake. This looked like speculation to me: OR....like Canada and Mexico, China will acquiesce to the president's demands that China lowers its tariffs and other trade barriers. The U.S. is China's (and, ergo, DJI's) biggest customer. Trade-wise, they have been "ripping us off" for...

    54% China tariff

    Your original assertion lacks critical thinking and is lousy with speculation. Even the most dismal observer can see that these tariffs are a tool. I'll cite Mexico and Canada as great examples of this. At what point do people finally give up on trying to predict what the president is GOING...

    Puebla de Sanabria: Medieval Town in Zamora, Spain

    Yes, the video is nicely done. But the body of your post looks like it came right out of a tourism brochure. Instead of advertising for your village, talk more about yourself, your equipment and the process behind the video. As it stands, I would guess you were the mayor or Director of...

    Puebla de Sanabria: Medieval Town in Zamora, Spain

    This feels like an advertisement. D
