dmac1 · Oct 20, 2021

Have had the drone quite a while, hard to fly it in these parts cuz of all the trees and I've had some issues, but took er to Utah and heres the first real vid I've made with S2 footage.

Hope ya enjoy.

Thanks. Not sure Chris! I just posted a reply on my YT...short version, jury is still out...it acted up twice in the roughly 10 flights I tried.

Previosly, sometimes it would be fine for a number of flights, then next time, not. Now that I'll hafta be using a new phone, a variable has been thrown into the mix in the middle of trying to nail down the source of my issues.

I have expected that the drone's behavior to be a very repeatable process, hence all the attempts I made and notes I took. I have given up on beacon only. Next week will hopefully tell more cuz back out there again.

@dmac1 audio is crisp! Are using audio from drone or GoPro? If drone where do you have your phone at? I throw mine in my handlebar bag with mixed results. Sometimes it's good, others I get some popping.

Give me a call sometime when you have a moment, I discovered a few things on my last trip that might help your issue. I witnessed some similar behavior and realized what it was.
