Wind and Temperature?

Drone beginner. I bought a Ryze Tech Tello to dip my toes in the drone world. Aside from awful controls and terrible range, I noticed that even at relatively low altitude the drone would be thrown about by even light gusts of wind. I also noticed that it performs worse in cold temperature. Is this just the mark of a shitty drone and would more advanced models like the DJI Mini 4 Pro have better handling in light wind or at different temperatures?

7 inch frame

I'm new in drones and I would like to get one, but I prefer a diy instead of a drone like DJI ready to fly.

My idea Is to get the parts to achieve a similar performance compared with a DJI air for example. Do you think is possible? 7 inch frame would be the proper one for such purpose. Any other recommendations?

Thanks a lot in advance.

Longshot Request: Crowdsourced Drone POI's?

My friend and I were recently checking out a few different apps that show no-fly zones for our drones and I had an idea that I'm certain someone else has thought of but that we haven't seen yet.

We thought it would be interesting to have a map layer that is crowdsourced points of interest for drone pilots. Not unlike you see on Google maps when near a photo point of interest (see image) but that had a little drone icon so pilots could share that it's a good spot to get some nice shots, isn't off limits, etc.

Does this type of shared map or app already exist? I would have found something like this incredibly helpful when planning my last few trips and vacations. I currently am using Forecast for UAV and having a layer to toggle on drone poi's would be fantastic, as an example.

Drone Registration in Massachussetts ??

I am planning a trip to Massachussetts and as always want to take my drone with, particularly for coastal shots. In reviewing local laws and regulations I keep finding that I may need to register a drone with the state itself? Is that seperate from the FAA registration?

This is insulting

Does Zeitview pay for travel? I’m and IT MSP as a day job and literally every company we work with pays us for travel(probably because we ask for it but still) I see no way to get ahold of these people to even inquire. Am I just SOL with these offers? I have a radius set but I guess it should be relabeled “radius to ignore” thanks.

Can we only restore EdgeTX model to another EdgeTX of the exact same version?

Cos after I transferred my backed-up model file from EdgeTX ver 2.10.0-nightly to another same tx but with a firmware ver 2.10.0-centurion, it can't read the YML file. At Model screen, when I hit "restore model" it just doesn't display the new YML file as an option to choose.

Bug

J'ai un problème sur mon drone sp500. Après une collision contre un arbre je suis rentré chez moi et j'ai retiré une vis pour changer l'hélice qui s'était abîmé mais depuis lorsque je connecte le drone à l'application il marque (en gros ) que le bras n'est pas déployer correctement. Quelqu'un pourrait-il m'aider svp

how likely is finding a lost cat?

Hi everyone, I’ve been so devastated and desperate to find my lost cat that I stumbled across some people with drones that claim they can find lost pets. A lot were scams but I managed to find three in my area that say they specialize in finding lost pets.

However I have a cat and lots of trees in my area, so I’m scared I’ll pay $600 for nothing. Please advise on this.

e58 motor change

Hi everyone! I have an e58 with a not so working motor (the lower right one) so the drone just goes forward and to the side. I am learning so along with the sim I find it useful but I want to change the motor.

My question is, should I change all motors or only one or two is fine?

Something a little more lighthearted than my usual

Want a new drone, but I don’t know what to pick

I live in California and I don’t know what drone to get as there is many of them. What I’m looking for is something that is not that expensive, but has range and a nice camera. I have a deerc D20 mini drone so I have some experience.

Please help ID this advanced Drone.

First, I want to say, I'm a drone pilot and advocate. I'm also a P107 licensed pilot flying UAVs for a Sheriff’s Office as an ancillary duty. Unrelated to that, tonight after sunset, I took my dog out and observed a drone flying around for over 30 minutes. After twilight, the UAV, as determined by navigation light orientation, took up a stationary position approximately 150 feet off the deck and 180 feet horizontal distance pointing directly at me. Half of my body was concealed by my patrol car, with my upper torso exposed over my front fender/hood. Since I believed that I was being observed, I did what any red blooded American would do, I flipped it the bird. When I did, the drone produced two mild flashes, as if I was photographed.

My question is, what production drone is capable of flash photos?

It should be noted that this was the quietest drone when stationary I've ever heard.

Visited my folks place this last weekend in eastern WA, and decided to try my hand at some sound design for the footage I got. This is the first time I've ever done sound stuff like this, so please give some feedback!

Mavic Mini Noise

I don’t know if anyone else is experiencing this, or it’s normal, but why is the mavic mini so loud? I’ve heard it in comparison to a mini 3, and the noise difference is not even comparable, maybe I have the wrong props, but some help would be nice.

Best drone for a beginner

I am looking to get into this hobby and I’m wondering what would be the best drone for beginners I’m new so some obstacles avoidance would be nice but not necessary. I’m looking to spend around 500-1000 at the most please let me know, I also prefer DJI but understand if there are companies with better options.
