I didn't really say that, I said I wanted cheap repair, as in, I want to be able to buy spare sparts at no great added markup. I'm comfortable spending 2000$ on a drone, but if every time something happens I have to shell out an extra 1000$ to fix that 2k drone, that's where I'm no longer...

I mean.... I am a programmer, I've worked with embedded hardware, I've build simple electronics and repaired them (guitar amps and guitar wiring). But, wouldn't you still be locked in to a simple set of components that can work together unless you want to literally write your own software ? Are...

So... I had a parrot ANAFI for a while and I quite liked the 4k video and the speed/control when the GPS signal was on. However, I managed to crash it (as it happens) and broke a small plastic bit, nothing too hard to fix, but I'm not exactly good a DIY plastic molds and that specific part...

So, I managed to crash the parrot (well, to be fair, the parrot managed to move by about 30 meters horizontaly whilst I was rotating it since it lost GPS signal) and it, actually, kinda survived.... except for damage to the case and slight damage to the camera gimbal, as can be seen here: As...
