Thanks for confirmation. Little more exploring, looking more as not applicable for construction. With Keyframig using visual reference and not GPS markers (WP)... have those using, had any success on repeating the flight in future. As example, if construction... large hole, foundation, multiple...

Haven't updated my S2 FW yet, was interested in the Keyframe feature... been sitting on shelf for a bit. From this post, you can only have 1 Keyframe saved? You're not able to have several, and pull which one needed for the project? I used Litchi, GSP, MapPilot, DroneHarmony and several others...

Just my opinion, the 1" sensor & mechanical shutter of the P4Pv2 and Zenmuse X4S (same camera) are hard to beat for Ortho & 3D modeling. Plus the flight software available for the P4Pv2 is plentiful. The S2 wouldn't be my choice for this arena... although I think for it's intended scope it's...

Late in reply... I use both NLD and DH (Drone Hacks). They both offer a full featured hack for P4Pv2. I mainly use DH for all the newer Mavic series, and NLD for P4P and I2 crafts... mainly because NLD had product for some time before DH. All works great, no issues and completely removes the...

When I first read your title, I was assuming a Mac... this was popular mod in both iMac & MacBook Pro 17". You might check on Internet, like the Mac, there may be a plastic tray that replaces the DVD drive and provides a mount for the SSD. Getting a larger HDD into DVD slot may be a physical...

Ha! Sweet! Ya even put a shift cut switch on it... great! Saves the chain & Rr cluster! The Bafang may be old tech... but it still pulls better and is a tank for abuse! And it just works and keeps going! Ya, they build up a lot faster than moto... takes me hours just to change plugs on my...

Ha!… a BBSHD amped up to 1500W, you must have found LunaCycle site. They worked with BaFang years back and made the reconfigured controllers to pump the BaFang BBS motors up to 1500W. Maybe others doing it now too… but if you’re looking for some nice parts, check out LunaCycle.com… he was...

Very true... the speed on Moto is a major factor. The biggest challenge for S2 I've seen on cycle are power lines crossing the roads. At sub-15 mph, it handles the wires great... above 25mph, I've been impressed by a few close call sudden lift movement to miss a wire. Hasn't contacted wires yet...

The V-Falcon (shortened) is an interesting craft. It appears to fly nicely, but I question it's on-going development. It most likely will be a short lived craft unless company gains strength or bought out. The camera, I'd compare to a Mini2 or Air2... not to caliber of A2S. The recent Captain...

Hey Thanks for the info... the stabilization is outstanding on bike, I was assuming a small gimbal unit vs electronic. Totally understand the color issue... going from a horizontal with little sky to 30-80degree down with lot of sky, clouds, sun direction. Presents two different color...

More than need mentioned from M600Pro, M210, I2 down through most Mavics, Thermal, Full Frame, etc... Should sell some, but tend to retain. Sold a H920 and a few others that had no usefulness. A few for fun... the PowerEgg... and looking at the V-Coptr Falcon just for uniqueness..

Good luck on purchase... enjoy it and don't worry about chasing or waiting for next version... technology is never ending. The S2 is an amazing craft for it's optical and processing. The keystone programming will add a component needed to begin moving into new arenas... we'll see how that...

Agree and had to chuckle on the production comments. You selling the S2 or simple adding S2+ to inventory? I'll retain my S2 but if selling, will want to do while S2+ popularity hasn't fully taken off.

@Ridefreak Nice Video (#113 post), great mix of segments and transitioning between clips... audio was great! Was the majority captured on-bike/helmet camera? Those were nice & stable for trail, what setup? GoPro Stabilized or a Gimbal Camera? The S2 did a great job on the hilltop...

Having the S2 for over 2 years... I'd agree that "it's good enough", and not enough justification to purchase the S2+. The new FW to add their Keyframe will be worth examining and if needed, new batteries will be the larger ones. If I was purchasing "today", I'd only go with the S2+ to gain the...
