Drone suggestion

[BigBlue1]

I have a ranch. The highest gutter is 18 feet

Just under 400 feet of gutter and I was done in about 90min. That included blowing the gutters, launching the drone and blowing out the bad spots a 2nd time

That's what I've been looking for but I just can't find a kit to fit my Sthil BR600 blower.

Just to keep this drone-related, I'd like someone to bring their drone over so I could see how stable it is when I point my BR600 at it...

I don't know what a BR600 is?

I checked out the Lifthor tablet holder. $79!!! I'll try to get by with my phone for awhile.

I can't speak for the EVO. My X Star could be located using the controller data. I think it would have gotten me close enough to visually find it.

Other than a catastrophic failure of some kind the Drone will generally take care of itself. The available data will keep the pilot informed of all critical things such as distance, battery reserve, etc. The Drone will even try to take over and RTH if it calculates there's a problem.

I had some battery problems with the X Star where it would go from 40%/15 minutes of flight time to "critical land" instantly. Fortunately that never happened to me when I was a long distance from the Drone. I number my batteries which becomes valuable as they get older and individually develop a pattern of discharge. I only have one battery left for my X Star that I can depend on. Which resulted in my purchase of the EVO II.

Autel has the X-Star batteries on sale...

I checked out the Lifthor tablet holder. $79!!! I'll try to get by with my phone for awhile.

I got mine direct from Lifthor and it's really nice. It's all anodized aluminum and carries the Autel controller and my Levovo 10.1 Android tablet nicely plus it has a tripod mount and lanyard loop built in I put the sunshade on the tablet too. I'd have bought a Crystal Sky but they are way too expensive.

When you get older, you need every advantage....lol

Only disadvantage is, Lifthor is in Sweden so shipping takes a while.

The X Star had a small circle symbol on the viewer screen with a Delta Wing in the center. The DW indicated direction the drone was facing. Made it easy to come home. Always knew which direction home was.

I don't recall seeing that on the EVO screen.

Another mystery. I have no way to change the camera lighting. So if the screen view appears too dark for example, I can't lighten it. Maybe I'm just missing it amidst all the other stuff. The X Star used a roller operated with my right index finger.

I believe that is in the options menu.

Hmmmm,,, they told me there aren't anymore and to search ebay for used ones.

I believe that is in the options menu.

I'm talking about a minor adjustment that can be changed inflight.

Still in the options menu which you can access in flight (or I believe you can at least).
