Im sure this has probably happened to someone else on here. Was flying behind my boat a few days ago, first using dji go, then using litchi. I was struggling with the palm landing so decided to do the ol grab and flip move to engage the emergency shut off that happens when the bird is inverted...

This comment will probably instigate a rash of hater replys....BUT in my opinion the answer is how high you are willing to (or can) fly. I often prefer to fly straight up as opposed to out, although I do like distance shots as well. I find that from 2000 plus feet above take off point I can get...

When you plug the bird into the nld app it lets you access all of those parameters and they are listed by name.

Oh no ! I know nothing john snow ! I just try to keep learning the best I can. I will never know everything about anything, what would I have left to learn ? Bruce Lee taught me when I was young "Empty your cup so it may be filled again"

Old thread, but I have seen a youtube video of a guy doing this with a mavic. He did a shutdown midair and the drone recovered before hitting the ground. Fun watch ! Ive imagined trying it with my spark, but never did since, like mentioned above, it wont start the props from an inverted...

Airdata showed it fell from 20 feet altitude to 9 feet in about 1 second. It also showed a bunch of errors- all said something like "esc error/not enough force" . I am guessing this was due to prop damage. I havent tried to fly it since, its been snowing for the past several days. Maybe later in...

There are sparrows near my house, they often seem to want to take my spark out ! They are very acrobatic and move super fast, they also always work in teams. They have grounded me more than once. I must have some footage somewhere of them attacking my spark. I feel more confident flying the p3s...

I am sorry to say I dont have any video footage, as I wasnt filming. I do have the airdata info, but its really not exciting to look at. I was flying over the river behind my apartment. The Eagle is a tributary of the Colorado, its starting to come to life with the seasons runoff. My wife and...

Hey Steve ! Now that its been a while, I can say I really like it and intend on leaving the bird setup with the nld. I have not re attempted to fly with the nld go app. I mostly fly it with Litchi and the regular dji go app. Honestly I picked up a used phantom 3 standard that I have really...

Thanks again man ! I really dont think its the cable, I tried 2 different ones that both worked on my android phone, which I dont use to fly anymore. I will try changing the usb setting from the recommended midi to the transferring files and see if that does anything

No the otg cable has not worked with this new tablet yet. Ive tried several times using both litchi and dji. I have the usb function set to "midi" as per recommended by that document. The only thing different about the appearance of the apple otg cable is the connector on the side opposite the...

I am not actually using the nld app to fly. I havent installed it on the new tablet yet, and since there isnt a ios version, I also dont use it on the iphone, just lithci and dji on both devices. I definitely did buy the proven and tested otg cable from amazon, but it doesnt work the same as...

So after a couple more flights with the tablet I think I know why I am not impressed. I have my spark modded with no limit drones firmware. The exact firmware is specific to the os of the device used to fly, if Im not mistaken. I have the fw setup for the apple ios, since I was using the iphone...

Definitely not, this mission is over 13,000 feet round trip, not super far, but out of rc range in this area

I just picked up the Samsung Tab A 8inch tablet (2019) exclusively for flying my birds. I had read some decent reviews. I was between the Samsung and the Lenovo, which is cheaper. Everything I read said the Samsung had a better image quality. I uninstalled everything the device would let me...
