[INDAVID WORKSHOP]

Guys,

With the large number of Drones used in Trinidad & Tobago, I am sure at some point one of us will need to repair our unit.

If you guys have knowledge of any authorized Drone repair provider supply contact info to help each other

[agent007]

I maybe wrong, but I think quadcoptertt does repairs...

Bumpttt!!!!!

Who out there dronin these days??

After carnival beach going I think I’ve gotten bit by the drone bug, an older tourist had the Dji avata and a mini 4..

Who have ting?? Throw up your experiences or recommendations for first time buying.

[gastly369]

Mini 4 pro great drone
Bring thru skybox do the paperwork the import via telecom authority and aviation authority

Luckily got my drone in skybox the month they made changes where permit is required for importation etc

[nick639v2]

I traveling in May so the intention is to get the mini 4 with RC2 controller at Best Buy. By then I’ll organize my paperwork if any is needed just to be safe

Tho the avata with that fpv goggles was a really cool experience.

[gastly369]

For a first time pilot wouldn't advise fpv drones just yet.. Lol

[nick639v2]

Oh yea I realized that. But the dam headset and motion control is sick

[stev]

apologies if it's a repost:

[nick639v2]

That was cool. Might make it to actual R&D for the vehicles. I doubt they’ll put it in for the spectating aspect tho

[maj. tom]

It's essentially a miniaturized pusher-plane.

[nick639v2]

Activated and insured. Can’t wait to reach back home now

First trip up! Was a bit windy so I didn’t want to risk it seeing that I’m new to this. Range so far is around 1km away from home point.

[Arcmanov]

Nice.

DJI price me out long time yes.
I still chillin with my 1st gen Mavic Mini.
Them new models just too expensive.


These are two vids I made...

[nick639v2]

I coupled up all my Best Buy rewards and store credit. Got it around 30% off the sticker price on the avata 2. Though the mini4 pro was my ideal choice, the combo wasn’t available in stores

[nick639v2]

First big boy fly. Avata 2

Edited on iPad, da Vinci resolve, 60fps timeline, everything else stock



At the end of the video you can see what happens when you hit a geo barrier. I flied a little too close to sensitive area, drone stopped and turned around on its own

[maj. tom]

Thanks for not putting that dotish irritating high squealing voice autotune music over the clip.

Video very high quality, nice piloting and focus.

Damn good quality, a lot of coast guard vessels there wasting away.

[Duane 3NE 2NR]

Nice vid!
Was hoping we could see some of the sunken wrecks

I don’t even know how to do audio and video syncing yet. So it’ll be a silent watch for now. Piloting is easy with this controller, I hand it over to anyone with me or who wants to experience it and let them have a flight of their own worry free.

Damn good quality, a lot of coast guard vessels there wasting away.

Oh boy there’s a lot more hidden behind the geofence, it’s easy to get past and shoot more with settings turned off but I’d rather not risk it.. (for now)

Nice vid!

I think I need the polarized filters and stuff to get past the sun/water reflection, couldn’t see much at all

Yes don’t risk it. Your drone will be target practice , I’m there in the bases twice monthly and for the past few years I’ve have seen sheit that is most disturbing.

[PariaMan]

Hmm

[pugboy]

a popular blogger post a pic of flamingoes in caroni swamp from high above
somebody ask if it legal to fly drones in piarco airport approach, man respond and say he use a 10ft selfie stick

Also the old water taxis and the controversial MV Su

How coincidental that there's a lot of unknown and suspicious drone activity in the US and this happens now in Trinidad and both countries are considering strengthening laws for flying them?
