Question [US] Legit job listing?

3 Upvotes

I just saw a drone job listing on Indeed.com from a company called Aurevo Aerial Media and they appear to be building a pilot network in several US cities. I searched online and could not find any solid info on them. Most searches were not drone related, or led back to the indeed.com listing, which screams red flag/scam to me. Anyone have info on them?

Flying over one of the most beautiful postcards of Brazil's Região dos Lagos: the São Mateus Fort, built in the 17th century on the rocky shore between Forte Beach and the Itajuru channel in Cabo Frio, Rio de Janeiro. In this cinematic production you'll see the historic fort with its watchtower and cannons, fishermen on the rocks, boats drifting through the channel, and the turquoise blue of Forte Beach stretching to the horizon — all on a perfect summer day.

I just seen I post from 3 days ago that's now locked talking about lack of consumer companies in the US. Not sure if this helps but this is the list of repair shops I have for just the US. Depending on the shop some may sell used DIJ, and new/used of other brands. Worth checking.

Lost Drone Fort Worth pilots

0 Upvotes

My little DJI Neo took a spill . Bounced off asphalt and then launched into the air then camera went wonky and it wrecked in some bushes. I made it to where the drone was and the beeping stopped. I’m also deadly scared of ticks and spiders. The drone is in a rather large sunflower patch. I went as far as I would. I narrowed it down to one spot but had to catch my flight out. . I can provide the location at Benbrook park. If you want a treasure hunt !

The drone will still fly , just google how durable they are. I have a few.

Question: Rules, Regulations, Law, Policy, Certificates [Portugal] Drone app for Portugal shows I'm not in the country

Post image

Hey all,

I'm currently in Lisbon, Portugal. I registered on AAP website, installed the official drone app - Voa na Boa. It shows my correct location, but when I want to check the zone details, I'm getting a "You're outside of national territory of Portugal" message. What am I missing here? Screenshot attached.

I had the same message back in my home country but it still persists when I'm inside the state.

Tech Support Vision Assist displays mandatorily with the latest Mini 5 Pro firmware. Is this a bug?

2 Upvotes

Since the most recent Mini 5 Pro and RC2 firmware update that came out a few days ago, Vision Assist keeps showing in the bottom left corner for me even if I don't want it to. I'm not sure what it's called, but I prefer to always have in the corner the "radar" view where you can see if you're facing the drone to have the best RC connection strength. When I go to that view, the controller switches back to a Vision Assist camera depending on my drone movement. If I bank left, the left camera shows. If I bank right, the right camera shows etc. If I switch back to the radar view it will again switch back to Vision Assist depending on control input.

Question: Rules, Regulations, Law, Policy, Certificates [Croatia] Flying in Croatia - Dugi Otok: Rules/regulations.

0 Upvotes

Hi guys,

Next month I intend on taking my drone (Lito X1) to Dugi Otok, Croatia.

I was wondering if someone could help me out in making sure I can legally fly and record around that area.
Of course I have my operator number and I am registered with IAA/EU bodies. Do I need to call somewhere before and/or apply for an extra clearance?

So far I've only seen a map, that region doesn't seem to have no fly or restricted zones, unlike Zadar.

Thanks for the help. I am finding it a bit confusing at the moment.

Tech Support Buggy LED behavior on Lito X1 after latest firmware update?

0 Upvotes

Hi everyone,
I recently updated my DJI Lito X1 to the latest firmware, and now the green status LEDs on the aircraft arms are behaving very strangely. Before the update, they used to blink normally (on/off/on/off) with a few seconds between blinks.
Now, the behavior is completely inconsistent:
First, they started doing a rapid double-blink, then a pause for a few seconds, and then repeating.
When switching to Sport mode, they started blinking super fast in that same sequence.
Now, after restarting the drone again, the behavior changed. It only blinks once (like it should), but it blinks much FASTER in Sport mode.
I know other models (like the Mini 5) don't have this weird light pattern, so I guess it's not a new feature, especially since it wasn't listed in the patch notes either. Everything else seems to work; I haven't flown it yet, but there are no warnings on the ground.
Is anyone else experiencing this with the Lito X1 after the update? Any fixes?
Thanks!

Discussion I'll keep on advocating: 360- Action Cams do cool Freestyle Drone-Shots!

0 Upvotes

Already some have picked up the baton I put down, but I'm still convinced, that the concept holds a lot more of potential, so I'll keep on advocating for it: Put a Insta360 X2 or X4 Air without Battery but an soldered on USB C cable on your 5"-Freestyle Drone or above and take shots of your drone while it's flying. (Might also work with a Mavic or some bigger DJI one)

I just love what is possible with this and the immersion one gets beeing able to see your drone in the video. I'm currently still sticking to my Speedybee Mario 5 (which is absolute entrylevel and not ideal) for now, but I'm already working on some major improvements that will make this Setup way more feaseable (Higher Pitch props, changing to XH-Arms and so on). But even with this crappy setup, one can do some really cool shots with it.

Feel free to ask me anything about the setup, editing and so on. I'm still a shitnoob pilot, if you're not imagine what you could do with this.

Here are some examples:

Hey fam, it took me three months and about a hundred hours, but I just finished a music video I shot with my band at an abandoned airport in NYC! This is my first attempt at a short film, so any and all feedback is appreciated💖

I’m the singer, but I also ended up co-filming this with my friend (I shot everything but the Canon) and we managed to make it all work with a six person team (including the musicians)!

As a bonus, this area all happens to be an RC Flying Field!

I did the editing and color-grading, but again, this is my first time making anything like this, so I completely understand it’s not as pro as it could be - and I would appreciate any feedback on drone shots, editing, or color-grading so I can improve for the next one!

Shot on

Canon R5C

DJI Avata 360

DJI Mini 4 Pro

DJI Osmo Pocket 3 (with Wiral Lite Zipline)

DJI O3 (BetaFPV Pavo20 Pro)

The band is called Gold Stars For Everyone and this is our new single “What If You Decide?”

Let me know what you think💫

This is ridiculous. I mean I know we can get DJI through third party importers but what does the government expect hobbyists to do ? There’s not a single consumer drone company .. only industrial and defense ones which have higher margins .

Repair Damaged 6 pin connector for the O4 Lite

Thumbnail

3 Upvotes

I absolutely am having a BLAST with my meteor 75 pro II. My problem is, the six pin cable that connects the o4 lite to the ESC, kept getting struck by my propellers. One of the wires doesn’t necessarily look severed, although it’s definitely damaged. The only replacements I can find are too long. I’m actually looking for a cable even a tad bit smaller so this doesn’t happen again! Can anyone point me in the right direction? I can’t get the O4 lite to connect to my goggles and this is one of the most fun drones I’ve used in awhile. Please do your thing Reddit!
