All the shortcomings you mentioned are true. I can't safely hand land using it as with the controller, which is a shame considering you allways have one hand free with it. You can't backup. They could've added that by a modifier trigger, but I guess they thought it will be unsafe. You can't move...

I doubt it will help with weight. It is just my preference to keep it compact. Unless I'm going to use 6s battery, XT30 will be good enough. Having said that, I actually changed many things about this build, including the change to XT60 for the same reasons you stated

I'm thinking just a carbon fiber frame with flat plates. The motors and main body just need to be in the right places and angles on flat plates. Maybe have it so that the cockpit part can be screwed into the frame. If you have a crash breaking an arm, you'll just replace a cheap arm and have...

This happens even in normal mode. Same when you are in brake mode. I've noticed it from day one.

I'm actually looking forward for someone doing such transplant successfully, so that I get the courage to do the same

I'm considering doing my first build as a learning experience. My goal is a digital sub 250g cruiser with light acro. I'll start with Betaflight, but I plan to move to iNav. I don't see myself attaching a GoPro anytime soon, but would rather use the Air Unit or DVR (or maybe an Insta360 Go)...

Anyone noticed that the FPV sometimes is not leveled while hovering. I've notice that it has a bit of a roll to one side, and I've always attributed to wind. However, yesterday was a calm day, and I still noticed it again.

I always hand land (and launch) for both my Mavic and FPV. So definitely have to raise the goggles.

Do you feel safe tossing the goggles in a backpack with TrueRC Duality antennas still on, or would you have to remove them like the stock ones?

Yes, the motion controller has an interference issue when close to metal (e.g. my watch). I've never flew an airplane either, but found the motion controller very intuitive. Of course it cannot be as precise as the sticks when you are experienced. However, if you don't know how to fly in manual...

I really loved the idea behind the motion controller. Bu there are things that I wished or hope to see the motion controller supporting, such as: 1. A way to fly backwards. Unfortunately there are no custom buttons to switch direction, but one way to do it is either to hold down the mode button...

You mentioned the slow turns issue, but I'm not sure if you are aware that if you tilt/roll the controller to either left or right almost horizontally (as opposed to yaw) , then you would get faster turns

The care service is never expensive for them, they will either fix or give you a refurbished one. You have to keep in mind that the drone itself costs them less than the listed price you see, and that not everyone will end up crashing, and even if they do they are still making profit from...

Image stabilization for video is still not good enough. Also considering the price and the company behind it, why not have good still photos, and other features from their other drones while at it? Afterall, it has all the required sensors and more. I'm wondering if it is because they don't want...

I think making the arm modular was possible for a company as specialized as DJI, but doing it will render their care service useless. I believe making the other parts modular is just a way to market the drone as such. A better software stabilisations and an option to trim the props is something...
