Make sure you set the bitrate to max in the app, and it should look pretty good. It's still just 720p, so be OK with that. For internet broadcast it should be more than good enough. How far one could run the HDMI output from the DJI controller unamplified is a good question. HDMI isn't great...

What you want is coming, @MrTokens, hopefully pretty soon. Some of our fantastic 3rd party app developers are working on this now. It requires access to an Earth maps database that has good enough elevation data and some clever implementation on the developers part. Understand, however, that...

Wow.

This is exactly what was happening with FW 1.05 and fixed in FW 1.06 (or at least this is the story). The aircraft FW interpreted a lower value for voltage than the battery FW was reporting. This, coupled with winter in the northern hemisphere, and the voltage sag that happens with aggressive...

^^Which is the reason to monitor voltages (which as you say, was the only "gas gauge" we had before smart batteries). It is the calculated % readout that can get jacked up when you restart the aircraft with a partially charged battery. The voltage display is just the raw value coming back over...

Absolutely everyone should do this. This option displays the voltage of the lowest cell right below the battery percentage. Have the aircraft on the ground BEFORE the lowest cell reaches 3.3V. (Or the aircraft will land itself.)

There is no need to "fully discharge" the battery before recharging. That is a hangover from older battery tech. The DJI lipo batteries (like the lipo battery in your cell phone) do not mind being topped off. Indeed, a shallow cycle and recharge contributes less "damage" to the ultimate lifetime...

^^ Or just look at the ground speed in the app while drifting in ATTI-mode

Yes, you would have better luck. Tethered drones DO, in fact, exist. And they enjoy essentially unlimited flight times. Without breaking a single law of physics. (Or a single FAA rule)

Not direct experience, but my buddy has a PadHat for his Mini 2 that is magnetic only and he doesn't like it. Blows off in the wind. It does look like the "hybrid" version supports the slightly larger Nvidia Shield, and also addresses the blowing off in the wind problem. As there really isn't...

When you render the video (the last step) with Windows Movie Maker, you choose the output resolution and bitrate. Movie Maker even has presets for YouTube and the like (at least my version does). For my fellow Yanks: chuffed adjective, British Informal. delighted; pleased; satisfied.

^^ Pretty light on details there at Natex Drone. Their claim doesn't change any of the physics discussed in the thread. Just because they mocked it up doesn't mean it works. A Tarot 680 is anything but sophisticated compared to a Inspire or Matrice or even a P3. I see absolutely nothing about...

Hoodman with extension is probably the best thing out there, but it is expensive and often out of stock. Mini Drone Aviator hood kit (includes HAV1 & HAV1E) - HAV1KIT in Drones, Phones and Tablet Air 2 Drone Aviator hood kit (includes HAV2 & HAV2E) - HAV2KIT (On backorder - you may still order...

IMO, the brightest tablet screens out there are the Samsung OLED screens. My SGS5 is brighter than my buddies 6s, and my Tab S 10.5 is brighter than an Air 2. That said, no glossy tablet screen is really going to be very good in bright sunlight. Unless you can really control the reflections...
