    Emergency kill Switch?

    So I'm curious to know if there is a way to kill the props mid flight like you can with a DJI device. Ive tried the sticks down and in together as well as up and out together neither of which produce the rotor stop function. Im taking my commercial flight practical and there is a chance they may...

    Samsung Tablet and Controller do not see each other?

    The light on the rear beside the usb C port indicates charging from or too the device (not 100% sure of which direction when connected to a device) The first thing im wondering when you say it wont connect is if the device (your tablet) has the usb port connection set to charging only. My china...

    Amazing tree avoidance

    Grrrrr8 Vid!! Twice ive run it with my bike, both times a crash. Both times admittedly my inexperience and overly hi expectations of the devices skill set. 45 kmh and taller trees with the drone set lower then tree tops was my recipe for disaster and so it was. Awesome video and i hope to...

    WiFi on or off

    WoW this just happened to me yesterday! I was sitting down just now to do a search on this very issue!! To a word this is exactly the same scenario i was in yesterday!

    Propeller Recall

    Nice that they stepped up before this became an issue. I'd bet if you email them they would ship to alternet address.

    Customer service

    Not stellar to be sure but after over 9 weeks of back and forth they finally came through. Mostly the calm patient discussions with out rhetoric seems to get the best results . Really at this level of device we are all at the whim and mercy of the company rep. It took a lot of back and forth...
