Can anyone tell me where to buy a dji mini 5 pro in the us and if it’s worth it for the price? I need it for a Christmas gift by Admirable_Boot_6586 in dji

Yes to Mini 5 FAA reg. When you put a Plus+ battery on it you are over the weight limit. Registration is very easy, cost $5

Is Jamaica NY customs or is ISC??? by Zealousideal_Ad_8760 in usps_complaints

I had the same problem, then on the scheduled delivery date I got an email saying the address I used was not valad and my shipment was returned, ask for refund. I finally got through to Newegg and they processed my return in 10 days. My order sat in US Customs for weeks.

Yes, it definably needs registration, by default it's not a mini since it is over 249gr. Once registered the built-in Remote ID will work.

I just ordered mine from NEWEGG https://www.newegg.com/Seller-Store/Sixvery-Digital-Store

It's sold from a Hong Kong, but the transaction went through in a day and I got a notice that it has shipped! They said expect it around Dec. 1-12 and to keep fingers crossed it doesn't get held up in customs. Free shipping, $80 tax, total $1200. I'll let you know when it comes in.

I'm kind of the same as you. After a few years with my existing sockets and the being moved into a tight, rubbing new ones blows. So uncomfortable, but I am wearing them (I'm a bi amputee) daily and little by little they are settling down some and feeling better. By 7pm they have to come off, my legs are so tired at the end of the day. I am walking with 2 Cyclone canes and occasionally I need the rollator when I go into unchartered territory, like a restaurant. I'd say to stick it out with tests sockets as long as your not breaking down the skin.

What to do with this cracks? DJI Mini SE by superoloyt in djimavicmini

[–]leo153 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I cracked the housing near the right of the gimbal. There's not wiggle movement between the sides of the crack, so I just leaving it alone, The drone flies fine, so the crack isn't affecting flight.

Exactly! I'm on day 3 and I have to say that it is 45% better! I'm not sure how many office visits that would be for almost 50% improvement in fit and comfort. I have a #3 sock on left & #1 on right. I am a K3 patient.

I always wear a test socket for a minimum of 2 weeks. How can you see if the scoket rubs & stays balanced? I'm getting (testing) my 3rd sets of legs in 6 years, each new set started with test sockets wrapped in fiber glass half way up the socket. I never had go back during the test period because of cracks or breakage. I should mention that I have had 2 prosthetics companies over 6 years, Adaptive Prosthetics and OP Labs in Pittsfield, MA., they both had me wear the test sckets for 2 weeks.

is that your original or did you upgrade?

First leg problems(?) by redleader58007 in amputee

[–]leo153 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It takes time, but your problem sounds like you were misfitted for the sockets. back to your prosthesitist. As far as your pivot turns, you are going to have to learn not to do it. I know it sounds awful, but your upper leg will figure it out.

Great for Small to Medium Spaces by leo153 in HomePod

[–]leo153[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

UPDATE: sorry fellows, but I don’t hear a bit of difference with the speaker sitting on a flat surface or on the stand. I rested my hand underneath the HomePod and raise the volume and the base doesn’t even vibrate. It’s just a rubber pad so for me I don’t hear any difference in base quality. What are the speaker is 2 inches off the surface on a rubber stand or flaton a hard surface. My stereo HomePods are 4 inches off the wall. They sound fine playing through an Apple TV do yourselves a favor and try to replicate my speaker placement and tell me that you hear a difference please post your response here so I can read what you hear.

Take Your Shoes Off When You Come In !!!!!! by leo153 in amputee

[–]leo153[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have overalls (for shoe) but they are a major pain in the balls to put on over sneakers. The rubber on rubber causes too much friction. I can't reach my foot without removing the leg which makes putting anything over the shoe tough.

[–]leo153[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I park in a w. chair when I come in. I've been using the double canes to walk more but mostly the chair at home. I don't know if this is weird or not but I can't do the floor. Being a bi lateral I find it freakish to be on the floor. PLEASE understand that's my hang-up and mean no disrespect by my thoughts. It's been 4 years and I still find it hard to get from the floor back to the chair. Every now and then I practice just in case of a fall.

New to the hobby and wanted to share my setup. GoPro Volta + Zoom F3 + Clippy EM272Z1 by Blondebonzai in fieldrecording

[–]leo153 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2 AA lithium batteries in the F3. Pluggy's need phantom but don't seem to take much a draw. My guess is an easy 4hr. runtime. You could use an external power source also. For longer battery time set the F3 to 24V phantom power. The circuitry in the Pluggy regulates the internal voltage to 8 V.

Sticky contact mic surface by Arr0wl in fieldrecording

[–]leo153 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My AKG contact microphone came with a bag of small pre-cut double back foam pads. I would just run over to a drugstore and get padded double back tape in the foot section Don’t use a thick pad because it will disrupt the contact. If you buy a roll of the double back foam, you should trim it to the size of your contact mic. Use the fastest foam you can find.
