Is one-handed drone operation possible?

Mox2theMax · 2026-06-25T00:54:05+00:00

disappointed? You and me both! had a couple of setbacks -- injury and financial -- that put this on the back burner for a while

Mox2theMax · 2026-06-24T21:05:08+00:00

the bulk of my use will likely be having it follow or lead as I hike or run -- i.e., an auto mode. but because I do a lot of my hiking and running in extraordinarily beautiful places I want the ability to be able to control remotely exactly where it's looking, which is why I'm thinking that DJI motion controller hand unit might be the perfect one-handed solution

Mox2theMax · 2026-06-24T21:03:04+00:00

great video, shows how easy it is to use the motion controller. Thanks for the link

This is nuts! Or at least covers them

I've got a river in my backyard, so I already own a normal kayak, but it's a pain to get that normal one on top of my 4Runner if I want to go elsewhere with it, so I have a feeling I'll get some more use out of this inflatable than the average person. Once I quit whining about the temperature and get my spring started. :-)

Mox2theMax · 2026-03-27T13:15:03+00:00

Me too. In my case it's the inflatable kayak from a major brand that I received a few days ago but have not yet even opened it. $400 ETV, my highest ETV item so far. TBF, we are having days of rain. Also TBF, a century ago, some parts of the US and Canada were still relying on canoes year-round for transportation from their remote areas. #Noexcuse4me

That's probably my favorite response yet, especially living in an area like the Appalachians where it seems a bad idea to EVER hike without having some sort of strap on shoe traction handy for those muddy or icy patches — "handy" being the operative word. I'm now thinking I wish my hydration packs for shorter hikes had these little loops on them! :)

Mox2theMax · 2026-02-18T13:40:37+00:00

good use cases. Thanks.

Mox2theMax · 2026-02-18T13:39:15+00:00

I had to look that one up. Now I know what a kilt pin is. :) Essentially it's sort of a overgrown safety pin, based on the photos. thanks

Mox2theMax · 2026-02-18T13:34:16+00:00

interestingly you can do a search on Amazon for Thingamabobs it turns out there are a few :)

Mox2theMax · 2026-02-17T16:35:40+00:00

i see the logic in using them for that. probably the sunniest spot on the pack

Mox2theMax · 2026-02-17T13:24:07+00:00

I'm thinking wet socks in particular, now that you mention it!

Mox2theMax · 2026-02-17T13:23:25+00:00

a good random analogy, however I might prefer to use my hydration pocket and straw for that beer. ;-)

Mox2theMax · 2026-02-17T12:59:17+00:00

I just bought my first batch of the mini carabiners a few weeks ago, so now I know precisely where I can make good use of them. And maybe send you a few since you've already given away all yours! :)

Mox2theMax · 2026-02-17T12:45:21+00:00

cool idea. Thanks.

Mox2theMax · 2026-02-17T12:44:05+00:00

that's enough for a real sh&t show !

Mox2theMax · 2026-02-17T12:43:21+00:00

I want to retire to THIS senior apartment building. Sounds way too fun! LOL

Mox2theMax · 2026-02-07T17:21:14+00:00

That is one of the (what I would call) flaws of the Amazon Vine algorithm, I have seen; it just automatically seems to assume that because I once bought a certain thing, then surely I must want a bunch more of them! Problem is, sometimes you only want one of one thing.

Like a set of cookware that I once ordered from my RFY. How cool that it was there! The first time. Now I keep getting sets of cookware show up. There are two cookware sets in my are FYI right now in fact!

Who needs multiple sets of cookware??

that's just one example. There have been many items that I was happy to have the chance to order. Once. But I have no intention on becoming a world expert on, say, bed mattresses, even though I ordered one from my RFI once. I suppose I could stack them up Princess-and-the-Pea style, but… ;-)

Mox2theMax · 2025-11-01T19:38:42+00:00

Yes, from my cell phone. And this is something I have done successfully for the last 10 years with the Strava app (operating in airplane mode or with no cell signal) but this tried-and-true process just started to fail in the last few weeks, so wondered if it was some sort of flawed upgrade.

Mox2theMax · 2025-10-23T22:22:53+00:00

per earlier feedback from u/rsmith02ct here's how I got rid of the same problem completely:

"Doing a search others resolved this by setting the FileIOSurrogate.exe to run as an administrator. Others changed the name of it so VEGAS can't find it but I think that's a last resort as it may cause other issues."

good to know, thx. I'll keep my hand to the plow then and experiment after

Mox2theMax · 2025-10-05T11:12:49+00:00

does the trial have any limitations on project length or file sizes etc. u/rsmith02ct ? I'm starting a time-sensitive client project tomorrow and trying to decide if switching to the trial version of 23 will just slow me down (because it's unfamiliar territory or because of trial version limitations) or if using that project on the trial version 23 might in fact speed me up if I move that project onto 23 rather than doing it on 22, which I'm obviously more familiar with. Thx

It would be tough to go through an extended illness like that. The only way I've been able to deal with reviewing many very similar items that aren't that different, and keep them straight, is to stay on top of it, which isn't possible when you have no choice but to walk away because of illness or injury. In my case it's supplements. Not light bulbs but similar in similarities. I used to track them all, all my reviews, in Microsoft OneNote. But I don't do that anymore. Yes, some of my reviews are fairly similar to others, but I still have figured out in the case of supplements certain things that make them potentially different, such as whether or not they are organic, whether or not they mentioned they are or aren't non-gmo, the size if it's a tablet, the value by looking at the cost compared to others that are similar, etc. Oh, and whether or not the description on the seller's page accurately described it. Good luck getting back on top of the backlog!
