    Cable for Dual Remotes

    I have recently acquired a second remote control and I am wondering if the "Learner Cable) is anything other than a cable with dual 3.5mm Male ends? My wife wants to be able take pictures while I fly, and she can do that when I have the remotes connected. Any help will be greatly appreciated!

    Hello from Oakland, CA -- Any SFBay Area fliers?

    Welcome to the Forum! I'm south in San Jose area. Read the manual, twice, and you'll have the best start!

    Autel X-Star Backpack

    I think I just answered this question in the section about carry-on batteries but... I have the Autel case and I love it! It has enough room to carry drone, three batteries, charger, 35mm SLR with a second lens, tablet and charger and it is comfortable to use and carry. It fits into the overhead...

    Tips for traveling with XSP

    I have just returned from Maui with my drone. I flew on Hawaiian Air and had zero issues with carry on. Right through security with it in the backpack, no separation of 3 batteries and wasn't asked one about what it was. And that was through the San Jose CA airport!

    Flotation device

    So sorry to read of your loss! It is part of the reason I purchased the WS gear, in the event I have a failure over the water in Maui.

    Not yet. I want to be sure it doesn't cause any issues with being unbalanced. I will though, for the long run.

    Yep OBD, it is about 1/4"-3/8" wider base. One could probably just squeeze the landing gear into the slots on the WS, but I chose to just open it up a bit so as to not stress the plastic.

    I don't think of it much of an issue. As I mentioned earlier, take care to avoid abrupt stops or changes in direction to avoid the "Bell Ringing" motion. I'll have to post another video showing smoother transitions in flight movements.

    Yes, that is correct on the crossbar "black hole". And yes again on the legs detaching with clips. There are also color-coded bands on the legs that let you know which are front/rear.

    I bought this for an upcoming vacay to Maui. I won't be needing pinpoint landing on the big water there...I HOPE! :eek:

    Yes, only when you do an abrupt stop of motion. If you take the time to slowly stop, it doesn't rock that way. However, windy gusts will grab it!

    Yes, just one end of the cross bar is what I popped loose. The Velcro holds it all together afterwards.

    Here is a video of T/O and Landing. It shows how it is stable in hovering, but gets a good wobble if you simply release the right joystick as opposed to gently arresting forward/rear momentum. The last part shows that it can take a firm landing very well.

    This is how it is attached to the XSP. There is a small channel that the landing gear sets into. I have to resize my videos and then I'll get them on the board. This is my first try at this!
