Interesting development. I have a really cheap Chinese Android 10 tablet that I bought for something else. I couldn't get it to pair with drone over wifi. Just for lack of something else to try I paired the controller to the drone, plugged in the cable and it works. Problem is it's pretty hard...

It looks like Skydio no longer supports any tablet other than something that starts with an I to work with the controller. If I get some sort of evil apple tablet. Do I have to get some sort of apple account and pay apple for the skydio app? Anything Apple is about 25th on the list of top 10...

Not Iphone, I'm using cords that previously worked and on two different devices. One device tried two cords that previously worked.

Haven't flown for a while. Got everything out, charged and software updated. NO new or different equipment. I had no problems in the past. Controller pairs with the phone and get steady blue light. Phone wifi off. Plug in cord between controller and phone as in the past. Now I get a message to...

There is metadata not exif. How would you get gps data from a video that has a moving camera? If you need just a gps location you could take one still photo for the session, it will have gps location in the exif.

Interesting project, here's a picture.

I have a firehouse mounted to the battery with velcro. I just move the light to the battery I'm using. Edit, just watched that video. he said he didn't think a strobe increased daytime visibility. I found just the opposite. I'm not all that young and my eyes aren't what they used to be. I...

It isn't the USB that's the problem, it's the Android. It's not the same in all devices. Little bits are different in each device.

I spoke with Skydio about it when I had an Android phone that wouldn't work. The problem is that unlike Apple, every Android is not necessarily the same. There are so many different manufacturers that they couldn't possibly test them all. For instance my Kyocera Duraforce Pro works. I was going...

Not saying that at all, just stating the facts. I read the article and still think it's a bot over hyped. If you are using the same camera time after time much of what it says may or may not hold true.

I have been deleting my camera memory cards with my computer for years. When I got my Skydio I have continued to do so. For my event photography my downloading program does it automatically. Would take way to long to navigate to "format" on camera. I very rarely do an actual format. Had one bad...

I had it come up behind me, just like it was supposed to. I heard it coming. it came so low over my head I ducked.

Did you make a new key frame or use an old one?

I saw a couple of posts on another forum that said it wouldn't fly after update.

I got what appears to be a brand new one. Had a different serial number. Had to spend another $5 to register a new one.
