Anyone here that loves to fly/crash their lovely custom made machines?

DJI Mini 4 Pro (deluxe package lol)
All the Fixin's

I'm hesitant to show you all what I've made over the years, because it'll inevitably expose my true identity.

Got some great footage in Greece. Have been collecting great footage the past 2 years.

I got some free drone from my one and only order off temu.

I could never get it working, something with the calibration.

I think I already know, don't I?

If so — meh, I've already posted it all over the internets by this point.

BTW, did you happen to catch the drone show on Friday night?

That was the first problem

Temu is so hit or miss, majorly on the miss

I don't even remember what I ordered, but I remember what I got was basically junk as expected. I think I had to pick out like 5 or 6 things and I probably spent $30 on the entire order.

The drone itself was higher quality than I expected physically considering it was "free". Even came in a case with spare rotor parts. I still have it, I think I could probably trouble shoot it and calibrate it eventually, but I hadn't really even thought about it until now.

I wouldn't worry about Chicken per se, but sometimes I personally do about some rando who may be reading this and might not even have an account, or someone that we've never interacted with.

As I type this, there are over 280,000 registered users here, and at least half of those aren't Harry.

Not counting lurkers.

BTW, all this to say I'm not trying to stop you — you do you.

I'm just saying be careful.

A few years ago we went to visit my father-in-law (he lived on the beach in Navarre). He had just bought a drone and wanted to try it out. Before ever practicing flying it in a safer location, he takes it beachside. It goes up, hovers for about 5 seconds, then nosedives straight into the surf. I laughed and laughed. He's a jerk.

I got a Mavic 3 Pro a while back. I plan on using the shite out of it in the Keys for Thanksgiving and Wyoming during Christmas.

Had this happen to me once, not fun. I use to be all like don't care who knows who I am blah blah blah. Never since.

Lucky for me my work place sniffed out something was odd and it ended there.

In between those trips, I have to go to Columbus, OH for a week so it's a wash.
