Sent Autel a detailed message including name, rank and serial number. Got a response that if I could provide them with the information I had just sent them, they would be happy to start the arrangements for me to send the bird to them. (sigh) Thanks for your responses. Slogging ever onward.

I know most people have moved on past the X-Star, but right now it's my only bird, and I have real problems. Bought a new?? battery from an eBay seller (Yes- I should have known better) and tried to get it to work, won't work or charge. DO NOT know if this caused the problem - it was probably...

I'm of the opinion that if one buys the EVO it should be bought (we're assuming it can be at this point) on the basis of what it is today and not what we hope (expect) it may become in the future. I bought my XSP with the hope (expectation) of interchangeable cameras - I need this. Didn't and...

Absolutely laughed out loud. I have heard tales of things like this, have no inclination for trying it. Thanks for the laugh.

Nope, it was mine. Rudolph got confused and I was just guiding him back to I-75.

I'm with y'all - brutal conditions out there. I had to put on long pants the last two days with no relief in sight for the next week or so. Too cold for golf today, we're probably not gonna get much above 50 today. Intolerable!! Hey, be safe out there y'all - the cold can, and does, cause...

Nope - too much of a coward to update to the new firmware yet - if'n it ain't broke - don't fix it! 30 miles, huh? Maybe if I hooked up these two old DirecTV dishes to my controller, strapped six more batteries to the bottom of the pumpkin, hmmmm, I think I;m onto something here!!

Oh, OK - so now I get it. My wife was actually talking about my XSP when she said "if you do that again, your crack's gonna wind up in a tree for a week". :(

Dave - I'm on the other side near Inverness. You send your bird west, I'll send mine east and we should see each other somewhere near Clermont. Assuming, of course, we can hold a video signal for 54 miles (or so):rolleyes:. Hoped you're flying today - GOLLY, it's gorgeous out there!!!

I'm with Augustine - Cyberlink Powerdirector. It'll do more than my old brain can - seems to be all I need. Don't remember it being expensive - 'course I don't remember what I had for breakfast yesterday either.

I use one of the Polar Pro gimbal guards also. Takes about 15 seconds to snap on, fits easily in the case and has caused zero problems. I understand Autel's concerns, but I believe we're comparing apples and oranges comparing the 3D printed guard to the Polar Pro.

Sure didn't like the guard that came on the new bird - couldn't get the thing off (I did find that saying "let go you piece of ........" did seem to help some. When I placed an order for something else from a drone store, I thought - I'll buy that $23.00 - REALLY $23.00 - orange guard from them...

Welcome aboard! You'll find the folks here are very glad to help (some other manufacturer's web sites - not so much). Some on here are REALLY knowledgeable - me, I'm still in the "wonder what that does?" group. Great fun - enjoy!

Probably too far to drive from central Florida for fresh lemonade and snow cones!!! Still, sounds like a hurricane party to me. I think we're ready here. though I'm sure the-mean-old-woman will need something else re-done tomorrow. Stay safe, y'all. Blessings......

Preparations are made as best we can. We have nowhere else to go. Appreciate your thoughts and prayers. Me and the-mean-old-woman are gonna hunker down and hang on to each other. Be careful out there. Be safe. God bless.
