Thanks for this heads-up @MS Coast... Air's getting pretty thin up there, so I'll bet the higher RPM is eating the tiny batteries, and taxing the relatively weak, cheap motors. Did you get a Flip and have it with you? A comparison in those conditions, with its huge props, would be interesting.

Makes total sense. Passive iron filings are not emitting a magnetic field. They distort it. So very very close to them the weak earth magnetic field will be slightly altered (like less than 2-3cm). An actual magnet, OTOH, like in those electronic warmers, is an entirely different situation. The...

You can d*ck around with a friend you're loaning something to, forget it it when you were going to hand it over, not take a call from him if you're busy, etc. etc. etc. When you're selling something to a stranger, you really had better have your operations together. With community feedback and...

Yeah, but there's a ginormous blizzard blowing in from the left there, so run! Run like the wind! 😁😁

Not even sure how it "identifies" the target. Color may not make any difference. Someone want to check if it simply does this when a tracked person gets near another person? Because of color temperature (white balance) changes a lot going in and out of shadows, groves of trees, sky BG vs not...

That I can answer. All DJI "Intelligent Battery" modules have a highly functional BMS that in addition to the usual current/voltage/discharge protections, balances series cells during charging, manages self-discharge to 60% if left unused for 7-10 days, and a bunch of other things. The only...

Nothing's free, not even fun 🤣

The BMS and communications are proprietary, and i can't find anything googling describing the messages. The serial line uses CAN protocol, if that helps... Looks like no one's done the work to reverse engineer the data. That said, internal cell voltages are not presented on the pins. This data...

What he said 😁

There are some solid rumors of a Neo 2 from some of the reliable leakers, maybe it will have some features like this. I'm hoping the plan is to keep selling the neo with the same target, and produce a higher end version with the same whoop design, with upgrades like I've discussed in other...

Neat @0:38 where it flies over the branch 👍🏻

I'm finding it fascinating (and surprising) the work you guys are doing with stills on a drone not well suited for it. 👍🏻

We don't have human-level intelligence and vision in the neo... yet 😁

The Neo has its limitations. Know them, respect them, and it's a great little drone. Low light is not one of it's good environments.

I think you can post 360 pants to YT and it'll do the right thing, even though it's not video.
