    Starlink App Menu Question

    Just curious if this is the default for the Compass line, or should "Normal" be highlighted? I'm running the beta firmware and have a good compass calibration.

    Flying Technique Survey

    I'm new to drones and have exactly 3 hours and 42 minutes of flying time :cool::) So I'm curious how the more experienced drivers steer? For my first 3 hours I used the right stick for steering and the left for altitude and the occasional yaw rotation to get use to using the right stick in the...

    Autel Forums Shut Down

    Me too! Just posted the same couple of questions I'm about to post here!

    Magnetic Interference

    That worked!! In my case though, nose down didn't work. I had to do it sideways, raising and lowering it. But the app said it was successful. I'm still a bit confused though since it seems to me that the "Compass" line should have "Normal" highlighted, which it doesn't. Still shows...

    Magnetic Interference

    I tried to calibrate this morning and it worked in the horizontal position but not the vertical. Tried at least 5 times with no luck. I got a reply from customer service and they suggested installing the beta firmware, but that's what I already have installed. Told them about my calibration...

    Magnetic Interference

    Great feeback...thanks! I'll try the compass calibration and see if that works than! Hadn't even thought about a bad compass, and what is the IMU?

    Magnetic Interference

    I'm pretty sure both places have above ground power lines, and everything seems normal before flight. Sometimes it takes a minute or two to get the alerts, sometimes a bit longer. Seems to do it with all four batteries as well.

    Magnetic Interference

    I'll have to fly it again to be sure about the video disconnect. I think I did see that at least once, but when I look at the remote's display it says magnetic interference. I'll definitely watch the video and remove the camera and inspect, just to be sure. I was under the impression that...

    Magnetic Interference

    I've only flown my XSP on four separate occasions, but I believe I'm getting more instances of magnetic interference each time I fly....the last time being so annoying that I didn't even make it through one battery!!! The first three times I flew at a very open spot at a local park, and the last...

    Military can destroy drones over domestic U.S. bases

    Not much different than trying to sneak on a base, where use of deadly force can be authorized. I wonder if the military is considering any of the six ideas coming from the Brookings Institute? Number 6 seems a little far fetched.....LOL Six ways to disable a drone

    New upgrade

    I'm a newbie, so I'll quote the user manual, which says that you're supposed to calibrate "every time when flying in a new location", page 23. I take it that it's not really necessary in most cases then?

    Attacked by a Dove??????

    Was just down in Pensacola a few days ago, and will be going back in the next few weeks. Not sure if I'll have time, but would love to see you in action! I just bought my XSP TODAY and barely have it out of the box, so I may be the newest of the newbies.....LOL

    Autel Robotics USA lay off US sales and marketing staff

    It's a inventory management issue...but one I'm sure they're glad to have! Just hope they can find a way to correct it!

    Any difference between the white and orange batteries?

    I'll reply to my own post to make an important point. I also just sent a Facebook Messenger msg to Autel asking the same thing, and they replied within 2 minutes max!!! Unbelievably great customer service once again!! And the answer was that the color is the only difference. I guess the...
