    Idiots keep happening!

    I agree, but maybe these will work for the fast guys?

    "The Specificed URL Cannot be Embedded as Media"

    The media button only works for videos (maybe other stuff) from the sites listed on the Media pop-up box: Dailymotion, Facebook, Liveleak, Metacafe, Vimeo, YouTube For pictures, use the image button just left of the media button. That should work for images hosted just about anywhere.

    DJI Mavic in Germany

    Great videos, Savercop. That is a really cool playground, too.

    Idiots keep happening!

    Exactly, this is part of why I'm big on being legal with my hobbies - especially when the hobby has elements that can be dangerous when done irresponsibly. My son and I got into MilSim style Airsoft years ago using full-metal replica weapons. Very cool stuff and very safe when used responsibly...

    Drones are able to navigate around city streets..........

    Yeah, I think you're right on this. I mean, when I think back to some of the sci-fi movies where they fly around cities in "spaceships" it looks like they have multiple levels of traffic above each other. I can see this being a good way forward with drone traffic flying above ground traffic.

    Drones are able to navigate around city streets..........

    Yeah, you can tell by how slow it's flying and dude is still following with a laptop that it still has aways to go - but they'll get there. It's also pretty impressive that it's able to perform as well as it does on 200x200 pixel imaging. Our robot overlords don't need no stinking 4K...

    Here's a video on Dronet testing I saw somewhere else:

    Camera does not work on new Hubsan H501S x4

    I would tend to agree. I'm sure you're already planning to, but my next step would be to grab a brand new card and try it in the quad (unformatted) and test it. If that doesn't work. I would try formatting according to the instructions in my previous post and then try again. If that failed, I'd...

    Narrowed it Down to Two-and-a-Half Drones

    I don't know enough about the quads you mentioned to guide you. But to help you out with the flight-time vs charging time decision, I think a lot of people get multiple batteries so the re-charge time is less important. I have four batteries - I use all of them when I go out to fly and come home...

    Drones are able to navigate around city streets..........

    Very cool technology. I remember watching a video about the military testing unmanned vehicles driven by vision-based neural networks (same or similar tech as used by DroNet) - and the navigation hardware was about the size of a dorm room fridge. Crazy to think that it's now the size of a deck...

    Want to buy: Aerial Footage

    How much are you willing to pay? How long does the footage need to be? What other requirements do you have? Like, does a 10 second flyover some pine trees meet your needs? I think answering these questions will get you more responses or maybe a recommendation. You say you are looking for...

    Remote Pilot – Small Unmanned Aircraft Systems Study Guide

    I've been looking into what it takes to get the Part 107 UAS license. I poked around on youtube videos but most of the ones I found were shilling for a $300 course. Also several of the videos I watched on the $300 class mentioned study time in the 12-15 hour neighborhood. Then, I came across a...

    HELP - Visuo xs809w doesn't link to the controller

    Ouch. Good reminder Moz. I’ve seen some scarred faces on YouTube from that.

    Video Editing Software

    I've not used that one, but Windows comes with (or used to) MS Movie Maker which is free. Easy to use and I've used it plenty for just clipping extra stuff at the ends of a video - although another tool is probably better for more than simple stuff. I'm a Mac guy these days, and I used to use...

    Video Editing Software

    Nope. Audacity is only for audio. Or at least it was last time I used it. What flavor of computer do you use? Windows, Mac, Linux?

    HELP - Visuo xs809w doesn't link to the controller

    Hmm. The other thing I noticed when searching was quite a few people complain about this problem and NOT figuring it out. Their solution was to send it back for a new one. I don't know anything about this brand so I can't advise on whether switching brands is a better option than just return and...

    HELP - Visuo xs809w doesn't link to the controller

    Hey Senrian, you can post links after your third post, I believe. No worries though. Did a quick search and found two bits of info for you. One was about people experiencing binding trouble if the batteries were not fully charged (on the quad). Sounds like you've tried that already. The other...

    Camera does not work on new Hubsan H501S x4

    Gotcha. I misunderstood and thought you did not have a card slot in your PC and were using the camera one with a USB cable connected to the computer. Yes, it does seem to indicate that everything works. In the dozens of cards I've used in cameras over the years, none have gotten corrupted to...
