    Battery Deep Cycle Discharge Solution

    Ordered the items listed above. Everything should be here tomorrow. thanks. Stay tuned, may have questions on the discharge parameters that will need to be set. I know that the batteries are 5000mAm and never discharge below 3.5v. Are there other settings that I will need to set?

    Advice and critique on first customer video

    Battery Deep Cycle Discharge Solution

    What is this device that can power a flat screen in the field?

    Can you sell drone footage shot on US Forest Service as stock footage?

    If it is part of National Park Service, then you are not permitted to takeoff/land on NPS property with out a permit. Hard to get, but not impossible as proven by Vic Moss of Drone Service Providers Alliance. You can Fly over as long as your take off, landing and control of the flight are not...
