    Is Skycontroller 2 compatible with Bebop 1?

    Should work fine, lots of folks upgraded from SC1 to SC2. Connection from phone to controller changed from wifi to USB with SC2, so the be operating manual if you have one may mention pairing to the controller with wifi; don’t do that with SC2. First turn off your phone’s wifi, then turn on...

    Flying in Fog

    I think he asking if fog rolls out of the blue if he pushes the rth button will it bring it back sadely or make things worse. It uses GPS and Glonass, which work in the fog - if unexpected fog rolls in and you lose sight of the drone, it’ll return to home just fine. Obviously a bad idea...

    Drone Battery Burned and part of circuit - is it fixable ?

    Good reminder as a best practice to put the battery be in a lipo bag when travelling, or really when charging or any time it’s not in use. The risk of fire and explosion is so high with these things I wonder why they don’t come with a fire resistant bag. Not a bad idea to have a bucket of...

    Ice On The Props

    I wonder if we could give the props a little de-icing spray of some kind. I’m always happy with how silicone lube keeps the snow from sticking to the shovel, I wonder if a bit of something like it or rain-x might prevent some of the buildup. Just poked about a bit with the old googleator...

    Which Battery Charger is BEST for Anafi batteries

    They’re saying the four blue ports have qc3.0, which allows it to use the standard usb voltage 5 at 1 amp, or if the device is qc compatible it can connect and request higher amps or higher voltages. The battery can negotiate with the charger and draw more amps to charge faster, but will...

    Which Battery Charger is BEST for Anafi batteries

    They’re lithium ion batteries, so slower charging is better, and only charging them up when you’re about to use them is best. Stick with USB-c chargers ( or obviously the old style usb to usb-c cable that the anafi came with to charge at usb 1 or usb 2 standard 2 amp or leas ), using usb to...

    Ipad Mini 2 Wifi only and Garmin GLO

    Yes, I meant turning off your bluetooth gps device, really turn off both your garmin glo ( or whatever bluetooth gps reciever you’re using ) and disable bluetooth. Turning off any navstar satellites in your vicinity will cause somewhat of a hullabaloo, and will likely result in a stern talking...

    Imac no reconoce ni parrot anafi ni sd

    It’s some kind of disconnect between what apple likes as fat32 and what the anafi produces, but if you format the card on the mac with ms-dos fat32( not hfs or apfs or exfat extended or anything else ) using the disk utility the anafi will be able to write to it just fine, and the mac will be...

    Ipad Mini 2 Wifi only and Garmin GLO

    They use the same small chunk of spectrum in 2.4GHz, and bluetooth jumps around every few seconds while in use, but tries to identify bad bands among the 70 channels it divides the spectrum into. The 70 is a bit misleading, as they aren’t really discrete channels but overlap a bit. Wifi...

    Ipad Mini 2 Wifi only and Garmin GLO

    I have the garmin Glo as well, it’s actually nicer than the built in gps in most devices anyway, it updates 10 times per second, and has GPS and glonass for extra accuracy. It’s also a plus that you can place the glo device up high facing sky and not worry about how the device in the...

    How Tight Can a Flight Plan Be?

    Hard no on flying under the tree. You might get it automated and working 9 times out of 10, but it’s a bit risky, and you lose signal going undwr the tree or close to buildings. What you’re describing should be manual at low alt very close to buildings, trees, people. At that height you can...

    4K display, is it worth it?

    I got a refurb 4k monitor from monoprice a while back for 179. Works great with my macbook pro’s thunderbolt 3 output. Make sure your computer can actually output 4k. HDMI needs to be the 1.4 version or later to do 4k , and 2.0 to do it at 60Hz, ideally you should use displayport or...

    Precise timing for burst images in image header

    Actually, Anafi does record the exact time to three digits after the second in the exif data. The thing is it doesn’t get stored in the date taken field, but in a separate sub second field introduced in exif 2.2. I just verified a bracket I took a while back has this field filled out, under...

    And press the power button to turn it on- just plugging it in will start it charging.

    Easyjet

    I took Anafi from Canada to Iceland no issues in carry-on. Call the airline if you have a concern. You should disconnect the battery and put it in a fire resistant lipo bag, generally they’ll want any lithium batteries in carry-on and not checked luggage. Throw it on the conveyer belt with...
