    To 'GoPro HERO4 Black', or not to 'GoPro HERO4 Black' - That is the question...

    You might want to take a look at the Rylo 360 camera. The camera is relatively new and looks very promising. It has image stabilization and its software allows you to pick a spot in the image and it "locks" there. Meaning that you can fly around but the image center will remain locked on that...

    New Forum Sofware

    My app is working fine, despite my phone was screwed-up by the latest AT&T upgrade. It's a Galaxy S7 Active. It was running Android 7 perfectly. With the upgrade to 8 it's a mess and several apps (even native ones) stopped working. Luckily this one is working fine

    Flying drone as a foreigner in Canada?

    I've been to Vancouver, BC several times (it's a couple hours drive from Seattle) and there very few spots there that meet those recent requirements. Very busy city, so I would be really extra careful. Add the extra legal requirements since it's a commercial video and it does sound like a...

    Upgrade or buy something else?

    For what I've been reading, the Rylo's video capabilities are very good, mostly its stabilization. They just released a software update that allows for filming 180 instead of 360 in order to increase resolution. Sounds interesting. Also read comments about the stills not being as good as the...

    Upgrade or buy something else?

    DJI has the proprietary software issue and it apparently controls everything the user does, icluding preventing flying depending on location. That per se is not a bad thing but there have been some bugs reported and the fact DJI collects the user's info (for what purpose one can imagine)...

    Android e-ink e-reader to run Tower? To run Solex?

    If you are referring to the electronic paper type tablets, they do not have a very fast refresh rate so the videos will suffer, as well as any other info that will be refreshed quickly may also be impacted.

    Digital Gimbal Cam

    This camera seems promising. They released the iOS version in December last year and plan the Android version sometime early this year. The concept is great. We do the flyby, the camera has image stabilization and we can later pick the focal points and the software rotates the image based...

    How to get live feed from Sony Action Cam

    That's awesome and thanks for posting all details. I also have a Sony camera and it's a lot better than the GoPro. Actually, I only bought a GP because of my Solo. Need to try this one. How far were you able to maintain contact between PlayMemories and the camera? Have you tried the...

    Introducing Skynex Global Drones, Ltd.

    Cool! Looks like a nice business. This is an industry that will grow a lot, mostly now with the robotics technology's advances. For the "skynet" do a quick search for skynet + terminator. ;-)
