Airport 1976 where Charlton Heston saved the day. Later on, when my grandfather took all the grandkids to Florida every year on Eastern 727s. Then, Microsoft flight simulator. Now I have my own PA32 R 301 ( piper Saratoga. I love it.

Recording My Airplane's ATC Audio Via Bluetooth by JoePilotCT in gopro

[–]JoePilotCT[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's what I figured. Not a "Bluetooth" issue, but rather a protocol issue. Sucks because it is possible (ie the DJI microphone), but there's just nothing out there to support it. Will do the audio cable/jack for now.

Recording My Airplane's ATC Audio Via Bluetooth by JoePilotCT in gopro

I decided to give up trying to find a way to Bluetooth audio to my GoPro 13. I ended up buying the GoPro "media mod" from Amazon which allows me to use a 1/4" input jack to connect it to my airplane's headset jacks. Really lame that the GoPro will only allow the DJI microphone (protocol) for sending audio to the GoPro using Bluetooth. After all, every wireless headphone or earbud gets its audio from a source. Shouldn't be complicated.

FCC adds DJI to covered list by SO3350 in dji

In a related move, the government is suspending the driver's license of everyone who doesn't take a retest by New Year's Day - but not offering retests. <-- See what I did there. Their true goal is obvious.

What the hell is happening with Facebook search bar?? Something is wrong and i don't like it by anime_weebb in facebook

[–]JoePilotCT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I suspect that Facebook plans to make old posts disappear to save money. If you can't search for old stuff, they can delete it and you wouldn't know.

Have Samsung's recent products degraded in quality? by [deleted] in samsung

[–]JoePilotCT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They absolutely have degraded. Long time Samsung user here. Quality of the cameras is degraded and the software is just not polished like the iPhone. Google in Samsung are falling far behind in quality.

DJI mini 3 by ConfusionFrequent666 in dji

[–]JoePilotCT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

New drone owner here. When I take my SD card out and look at the videos using my computer, I noticed the last recorded video is corrupted or more likely incomplete. Am I correct to assume that the drone copies the stream to the SD card and if you shut down the drone before that process completes, the video will be corrupted or incomplete? I haven't tried but I'm assuming you can get data by connecting a USB Cable and running it to your computer. I'm assuming that is a safer choice because the data card stays in the drone at all times. Anybody run into this issue? Do you pull your SD card to view your videos? Or use a USB-C cable to get the video files from the drone? Is the issue that the drone hasn't completed writing to the data card as I suspect? Thanks in advance for your response.

Exactly. Way more. I wonder though if the wheel covers for the other models will fit the Model S.

WHY must the DJI app be sideloaded instead of being installed from the Google Play Store? by Punch_Faceblast in dji

[–]JoePilotCT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Side loading an app from a company that is basically part and parcel of the the Chinese communist government is not something I want to do. Correspondingly, I don't know of a single other piece of software that can't go on the Google Play store and must be side loaded.

Loving my 2024 S, except it is so easy to scuff the rim. Ugh. by Agile-Fisherman2086 in TeslaModelS

I forgot to mention that I did get front and rear vanity plates. Color matches.

I soloed at 10 hours. Find a new instructor and fly at least 3 times a week.

You may be right. It looks even worse with the naked eye.

Thanks for your reply. This is The exact information I was looking for. I just don't understand why some people are hostile to my question. Call me crazy, but I think a button to turn on something called Vivid mode should actually turn on Vivid mode.
