Yeah, it’s hard to believe that it’s gotten to this. I really feel for all you US pilots. I’m not so sure I would be willing to take the risks and spend the premium $$$ some are to acquire the latest DJI drones especially the more expensive models. I consider myself fortunate that there is no...

Here’s what I’m seeing from the website in Canada. Not sure what other countries see. Chris

Pretty sure it’s not fake. The email came directly from DJI just like others I often get that advertise sales, plus there are valid links to other DJI products on DJIs website. If it was fake it would be a pretty darn good one at that. @Kilrah not sure where you are located, but if you go to...

It looks like the Avata 360 will be released on March 26th. Chris

I am not in the picture at all. I just went down to the lake to take a quick panorama with the Neo. It was a beautiful day that day with very little wind. Most of the time there is a bit of a wind coming off of the bay but that day it was calm. I only live about a 5 minute walk from the lake...

No, that is someone pulling their ice fishing gear. I am probably about 100m in front of that guy. That picture actually shows a bay which is part of a large lake. Since there are lots of access points from the city many people just pull their fishing gear out in sleds including the portable...

Here's a two row 22 frame pano (cropped) done with my original Neo today out on the ice. It was a balmy 9ºC and sunny. Other than the people who were out ice fishing there were people (not pictured) out walking their dogs, snowmobiling and just enjoying the nice warm weather. Chris

Temperatures have returned to more normal for this time of year and it looks like we will be having some mild temps in the next few days. Hopefully no flooding since we have tons of snow and if it melts quickly there will be problems. I will try to post a few photos from my Neo to this thread...

We have beautiful sunshine today but the day started off at -19C in the morning. Currently it’s -8C (around 17F) but the sun is nice and warm and it’s not too windy. We are currently in a cold snap here. Although we still have tons of snow it is gradually disappearing through sublimation. Chris

Yes, the light makes a huge difference! I tried the same thing last winter in similar conditions on the same lake without the light and the Neo was unusable when set to Direction track from the side. The only downside is that the light only lasts for about one battery especially in cold weather...

I haven’t tried the FPV side out yet. Maybe in the summer. Chris

We have the new style aluminum ones with teeth on the bottom in our family but I like these old style ones. Had them long before the new aluminum ones came out. Chris

Here's the snowshoeing video where I tested Direction Track from the side with the StartRC Night Light attached. I think the Neo did pretty good in this difficult environment with a brisk wind considering there wasn't much texture on the snow for the Neo's VPS to lock on too. The only time it...

I’ll try to put a short clip together of the snowshoe/Direction Track. The small lake where I did the snowshoeing has ice thick enough to drive a vehicle on. Snowmobiles drive across it all the time. The lake I live a 5 minute walk from had ice huts (mostly the portable kind) all over it and...

Way back in post #52 I was testing my LED Landing Light with Direction Track from the front in a snow covered environment in cloudy conditions. This past week I was finally able to test Direction Track from the side in cloudy conditions on a snow covered lake. Initially I set the Neo to Far |...
