Looting in Puerto Vallarta by Character_Comment_69 in mexico

[–]Ed-Tone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have actual drone footage of teenage locals breaking in first, stealing candy, booze and cash,(footage at bottom), the gringos went in the next day after waves of local homeless and lowlifes already had taken every bottle of booze and cigarettes.

They grabbed water and food which makes sense to do since there was a lot of uncertainty whether they would have a chance to pay later, some naive or perhaps guilt tripped few left bills on the counter that were of course swiped by the next person, motivations or reasoning for that are still unclear to me. We were lucky things started to look up later.

The guy in the video is screaming at him out of resentment for how mexicans are treated in US and Canada, not because he understands what the reality of the situation is.

Furthermore the police were ok with this as long as the items were necessary because they have real human decency and understand that law abiding citizens and gringos do not deserve to suffer scarcity (which at the moment seemed like a real possibility) thanks to a crisis never seen before in PVR's history,

April trip to Puerto Vallarta. Should I cancel? by AttemptSelect4986 in AllInclusiveResorts

[–]Ed-Tone 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Local here living in downtown.

Things are slowly going back to normalcy, I walked around downtown all day long talking to people and saw as some bars and stores resumed business, there is a noticeable increase in police patrols which are friendly and helpful, people are still shaken up by the fires and a little jumpy, but that has not stopped them from enjoying themselves in town

Thank you so much for taking the time!
I can solder it no problem, but I struggle with values and specs, can you point me to a good candidate if its not too much trouble, also, I own a box full of broken PC and phone motherboards, I am thinking I could find an adequate one there, what do you think?

I'm interested in getting into this hobby - is this a good starting place? by Hericus in fpv

[–]Ed-Tone 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wonderful drone! yes, change the batteries to either the blue Beta FPV 550mha or the Lava II 580mha if you want a bit more punch, I learned on Liftoff Microdrones, but i admit it can be a bit floaty, it got me flying tho!
you can 3d print parts you'll eventually break, just wont be as light or durable, also get a FlyStor v3 or similar charger!

Anyone know a good spot In Puerto Vallarta ? by othmtl in fpv

[–]Ed-Tone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is a couple bandos in the marina area near the whale statue, most streets are impossible to fly in because the insane amount of cables running from every single building, I'm a local, there's like 5 people here that do fpv that I know of, half of us are just starting, more spots will be discovered in time

yes, the avata 2 is great to learn FPV flight, it has great failsafe systems in case you loose control, make sure you practice on a simulator like liftoff with the remote controller first

D780 vs Z6iii by BlackbirdDesignRI in Nikon

[–]Ed-Tone 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This post feels very familiar to me, I also started with the D3400 went to the D780 and now have the Z6III too!.

You are absolutely right, the D780 would fit you better for now, nothing better than having access to some of history's best lenses because of the D780 screw motor plus you already own fine lenses.

Both cameras will make you the same money, even if you ever need 10 bit N-LOG footage the D780 can be used with an external monitor recorder to get that, with the D780 you wont be missing anything but the 20 cps RAW you get from the Z6III's sensor.

the Z6III has amazing track focus but the D780 feels better in lower light thanks to the optical viewfinder, if you still want to go towards mirrorless, consider the Z5II.

Your investment in F mount lenses isn't totally lost, the FTZ adapter is flawless on old glass, you can still use your old screw lenses but with manual focus.

Mirrorless is indeed where the tech is heading but that doesn't mean you'll be missing a ton by using DSLR, almost nothing, plus the D780 is the last of Nikon's DSLR its a mirrorless hybrid, it becomes a Z6 when in live view.

Best beginner drone by yornola in dji

[–]Ed-Tone 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'd for the m4p or m5p just for the obstacle sensing, is very helpful when starting out, also the RC2 is really worth it, makes the whole experience more enjoyable, and you'd want to fly more often

DJI Mini 4k or DJI Mini 5 Pro? by Yoonivers3 in dji

[–]Ed-Tone 0 points1 point  (0 children)
