I send my flight data to flytrex while flying, and I also upload the flight records to healthy drones afterwards.

Today’s flights were just practicing controls - round and round in circles trying to get smoother at lining up shots etc.

A normal Sunday at the stables - so yet again just taking some time to get some flying in.

So - the iPad mini is a great screen to fly the Inspire 1 drone with - apart from one thing.

Time for a sunshade. It needs to work both to shade from the sun but also to shade from the user’s reflection.

My Nikon D4S had the C firmware 1.20 and L firmware (Distortion Control Data) 2.005. C 1.30 and L 2.009 were available.
I need to do the update from a mac.
