I have read reports about flyaways with the X_Star and the other reports of battery issues where it goes into RTL mode and flys back then just hovers at altitude until the battery runs out and it shuts down and falls out of the sky. So yes the Autel has issues just like the rest of them so...

Oh I thought you were saying DJI sells replacement parts. I have a Mavic and I only purchased it for the compact travel size. It is the only DJI product I have and I do not plan on others. I think the only way to have replacement parts is to build your own and I have done that a lot. I also...

So are you saying you can call DJI and order a replacement motor for a Mavic?

Unfortunately I have read a few reports of the X-Star having battery issues and doing odd things like just having where it is until it dies and falls out of the sky or returns to home and the waits and falls out of the sky, both not great. I do agree there is not a lot of historical info yet...

So you would rather take your chances with it falling out of the sky like a rock? Just FYI I do not push the limits, I do not fly beyond LOS, I never run to low battery warnings and I do not fly over people but you cannot control when something goes wrong and it fly's off on it's own and then...

To me having a chute on your drone is not as much about saving the drone but if flying near people it would be to lessen the chance of hurting someone on the ground if something goes wrong that you have no control over. The best pilot cannot control everything. Also you could use 1 chute for...

That was the problem I was having, as most did not really fit the Shield well. The Hoodman shade has a nice strap that goes around the back and helps hold it in the mount too.

I finally broke down and purchased the Hoodman kit for the iPad mini. Fits the Shield great and it is the best sunshade I have used to date. Drone Aviator hood kit for iPad mini (includes HAV1 & HAV1E) - HAV1KIT in Drones, Phones and Tablet I purchased the kit with both parts, the bottom only...

I think I would rather wait for the new firmware.

They had a new firmware in the XSP at CES and there are videos showing it doing a nice smooth slow yaw turn. That firmware is due out this quarter. I'm not sure what other changes it has but I heard it is a big update. Also after that they are going to have scheduled updates not be releasing...

If you are using a Nvidia Shield you can hook up the goggles to the HDMI connector on the shield.

You are 100% correct the current system is great for videos but I want to mount a MAPIR camera for doing farm survey flights. I would just like to expand the capabilities of the XPS for other options.

So is there anyway I could mount a GoPro style gimbal on my XSP? The only reason I ask is for mounting some of the IR cameras on the market.

I do not need to charge the remote on the multi charger just the flight batteries. Are the connectors the same? and is that extra 0.6v of charge power going to hurt the Autel battery?

i wish Autel or someone would make a multi charger for the X-Star. How close are P3 batteries to the XSP batteries? Could we use the multi charger for it?
