"Please explain to the audience how WiFi is used to transmit video from a drone that is flying several thousand feet from the controller" Certainly. Transmission of data wirelessly requires a matched pair of transmitter and receiver. The matching involves first an agreement on the nature and...

You are making generalised statements based on your knowledge of 1 brand, which are not universally true. "The IEEE WiFi 802.11 family is not a protocol used for drone flight control or video transmission". Actually Holy Stone drones, in particular the 720R, DO use wifi to communicate video...

Just to get your terminology straight: wi-fi IS a communications protocol, defining how data of various kinds, including but not limited to audio and video, may be transmitted wirelessly from one device to another. Some drones do use wi-fi to communicate data back to the transmitter, which...

It is an unfortunate feature of the Holy Stone controller that it does not have user-operable trimmers on the joysticks. If you take the case apart and find trimmers inside, in the form of variable resistors which can be adjusted with a small screwdriver, then you're in luck. Otherwise you will...

Yes, the drone is a form of helicopter. A single-rotor helicopter progresses in any direction either by tilting the rotor itself or by varying the the individual angles of the blades so that the airflow is made to flow at an angle to the vertical. This means, of course, that if the throttle is...

I would suggest that your actual drone is fine and it is the sim which is misbehaving. Yes, the drone does tip its nose down when moving forward but the automatics should preserve the height.

I can only agree with all of the above. Have you contacted your insurance?

I would like to help, but... If you have a question like this the least you can do is help your readers by providing some information - who makes it, where you can buy it, what you've got in the way of instructional material, what else was in the box. A picture would be great. Oh well, I did...

The CAA makes no specific comment on TOAL sites and they are totally irrelevant to this discussion. However, once the drone is in the air the pilot in charge is bound by the CAA rules, which are very restrictive when it comes to flying above people. No amount of omg's and get-a-life's is going...

No, and I don't need to. You appear to be flying above traffic and people walking on the pavements. How does that reconcile with the CAA point 4 which I quoted? And, while we are at it, did you or someone next to you have the drone in full sight at all times?

For a start, you are flying above traffic. CAA point 4: https://register-drones.caa.co.uk/drone-code/where-you-can-fly 4. Do not fly closer to people than 50m This includes people in buildings and transport, including cars, lorries, trains, and boats...

Nice video, but (and I hate to ask) how many times have you breached the terms of the CAA regulations?

Which arm? How much damage? Try your luck with this video

This is a computer data problem rather than a drone problem, so you are not really posing it on the right forum. However, if you search on the internet for "data from damaged sd card" you will find a number of leads. I can't help much further without knowing what computer you use, but I have...
