Are you using the stock charger that came with it?

@@SkylabFlightSystems yes

@@johnnydavis4841 Read this and follow the instructions. There are several things it could be. Start with the first suggestion and work through them. yuneec-forum.com/threads/red-solid-error-light.9601/

@@SkylabFlightSystems Thanks Kevin

Thanks. Info is a bit old. I still fly but TH-cam is flooded with guys doing videos and I'm always traveling so don't get much time to put these things together anymore. Thanks for watching and the comment!

Jelte Beukema It is called Autel Robotics Starlink. That’s the only one that I am aware of.

Jelte Beukema Here is the video of me going through the App: th-cam.com/video/YU8N7rsJH4M/w-d-xo.html

Thanks that really helped a lot

Have you tried CarolinaDronz?

@@SkylabFlightSystems I was looking on eBay. Then I found one on Amazon that will ship. I tried calling CarolinaDronz and they had a recording saying, sorry we are with other customers and cannot answer the phone, so I hung up!

@@pepperonihead Yeah, they are pretty busy. I personally would go with them over someone at Amazon only because they only sell drone gear. You can always email them. They will ship it to Hawaii and they ship very quickly provided they have it in stock.

@@SkylabFlightSystems Thanks, man. I have ordered stuff from them before when I lived on the mainland. It is a little difficult to get these types of batteries shipped to Hawaii because they have to go by air and there is danger involved. Plus if you can find someone that will ship them, shipping costs are kind of high. But of course, Amazon will ship them for free because I have Prime so it is a bit cheaper.

John Pirrone Understood. One of the many reasons I don’t think I’d like living on an island. There are many great things about it, of course. Hopefully you get good batteries from the Amazon seller. Let me know if I can help with anything else. Always happy to help.

Your xstar is no match for my phantom 4 pro

noel morales I don't have my Byrd any more. But I was just looking into your question and I could not find an option that allows you to wirelessly transfer images/videos from the Byrd to your mobile device. I would send an email to them. They are super responsive to customer questions. They have people working in the US so you won't have to wait a day for a response. Sorry I didn't have a better answer.

I have my Samsung Tab - A hard wired (plugged in) to the controller. That's how it works.

Mike Remvidas Hey Mike. Thanks for watching my video. The X-Star has a built in failsafe that will return the aircraft to its take off point should it lose radio signal. That takeoff point is called Home Point. Always make sure it is accurate before you take off and you should have no worries getting back should you lose signal. One thing to note about the "return to home" feature is at what altitude the aircraft will fly at while returning. In your settings menu, you can set that height to whatever you like. I always check mine before take off and compare it to my surroundings making sure that it will clear the tallest obstacle near the area you are flying. Thanks for the question. Fly safe!

Lip stick Thanks for watching. Since shooting this series of videos, I've been flying the P4P and the Inspire 1. I'm prepping some videos showing them together with the X-Star. I no longer have a a Pro-Drone or a Yuneec because I wasn't a fan of their cameras compared to everything else available today. We are so lucky to have access to some of the best tech available right now and it's only getting better as the year goes by! It's never been a better time to be in this hobby/industry!

AmeriJam Acres If I could only have one, then I'd choose the X-Star because it would allow me to upgrade cameras without having to buy a new drone. Every day there are more and more 3rd party apps coming out that support the X-Star. I think they have a bright future if they can keep pace with DJI'S mid and low end drones. The X-Star camera is already better than the P3 camera. Plus, DJI will soon stop supporting the P3 line. That's strictly my opinion though. Thanks for watching and for your question!

AmeriJam Acres get the x star premium

X star premium!!!!!! I have one and it was great

I know I'm pretty randomly asking but do anyone know of a good website to watch new tv shows online ?

Abandon Gravity Thanks for watching! Stoked to hear the video helped you. That was the entire reason I made and posted it. Keep flying and be safe!

Will do!

Ronn Varnell It will if you are using an aftermarket iPad holder. But, using the stock mounting of the ipad, probably not.

jwden123 You make a very good point. While I enjoyed flying my Yuneec birds, the batteries were my least favorite thing. I know all about taking care of lipos and was able to extend the life by maintaining them properly. Having said that, manufacturers don't take the time to explain this to new owners. And most owners are casual hobbyists so they don't know about proper lipo maintenance. As much as it pains me to say this, the smart battery is one of the best things to happen to the hobby. It does away with most of the common lipo issues and allows for much longer battery life overall. If everyone were still using standard lipos, there would be a lot more lipo horror stories and a lot less drone sales. Thanks for watching and fly safe.

jwden, you need to take your head out of your ass

Angel Vivas The actual part that holds the tablet is stock. I did upgrade the base to a CNC aluminum base which is a HUGE improvement over the stock base. Here is the link: www.amazon.com/Jrelecs%C2%AE-Mobile-Device-Phantom-inspire/dp/B017BGCW24

Thank you for your reply!

Angel Vivas You're welcome mate!

Bobster986 Haha! Who doesn't love Zeppelin!

Bobster986 I agree. All options for hoods need work to be honest. the best option for me has been using a 10'x10' pop up canopy. I use it when I can otherwise I find a place that's shaded to fly from.

Daniel Audet I have read that some people are having this issue but I haven't personally experienced it. I've had my XSP for quite a while now and haven't experienced anything out of the ordinary with it.

Thanks! I appreciate it.

albertjenn@gmail.com Tavarez Maybe but you won't see the image in VR because the camera isn't producing 360 images.

Charlie You're welcome sir. No, your mini 4 doesn't have to be cellular ready. That's not needed but does come in handy when doing mapping missions.

Thanks for the quick response. I'm about ready to buy the X Star, but on your advice, I am going to wait just a bit to see what they are coming out with.

Charlie They've already announced it. Now they just need to start shipping. I think it will be the end of March or so. But waiting for an official announcement from Autel is a wise move. Having said that, you can pick up an XSP for cheap. some people have the cash flow to have both the existing version and buy the next version as well.

Any suggestions where? I'm seeing the the same prices about everywhere. $749.00 for white, and $799.00 for the orange.

Charlie I'm partial to CarolinaDronz myself. The owner is a true believer meaning that he believes in outstanding customer service and total customer satisfaction.

Ricardo Teixeira I'm not 100% sure you can get the XSP in the UK due to the video transmitter frequency used (900mhz). You might want to double check on the allowed frequency there. Sorry I don't have better news.

SLR Hut has them for £650 with some extra things.

Tiny Robot Creative Thanks for watching! The X-Star is a great piece of kit, especially considering the price. Really hard to beat. I haven't shot much footage at 120fps or in 2.7k. What footage I did shoot was as good as the 4k or 1080p though. Best advice I can give is shoot something else and if it still looks muddy, send it over to Autel Robotics and ask them to look at it. If there is an issue with your camera, they will fix it asap. Look forward to seeing your work with the X-Star!

I have taken about 4 videos so far and all are choppy/jumpy. Started with 4K, went to 1080p @120fps. All very choppy. Any advice on settings for smooth video?

Dave D Ok, when you're viewing them, are you using your mobile device, a computer/laptop or a TV? While shooting in 4k is a great feature, most people do not have a 4k monitor or TV. the choppiness you are seeing when viewing the video could be because of that.

I am viewing on my home PC. The 4k videos I watch on TH-cam seem fine. Today I will try the settings you have on the video you took here (1080p @ 60fps). I also have a call into Autel to see what they recommend. Thank you for the help.

Dave D You're welcome sir. So the videos are only choppy on your phone? Did you copy them directly to your phone or are you viewing them through the app? If you're viewing them through the app, that is likely the issue. Best to copy them directly to your mobile. Also, make sure your mobile is capable of displaying 4k.

Vaughan Lundin Thank you for the kind words. You cannot record your flights directly to your phone. You can, after landing, download the footage from the camera without having to remove the micro SD card. To do that, you just need to view the footage. While doing so, you will have the option to save to your device. Now, if you're interested in rcording what is displayed during the flight, you will have to use a screen recording app but that records what's on the screen, not just the camera view. Hope that helps!

Ben Brooksby Thank you for watching Ben! Glad you found it helpful. So, to answer your lens filter question, no. They are not the same diameter. The lenses are different enough to require separate lens filters. I really like the Freewell lens filters myself. The good news is that the P3 props can be used on the X-Star. I've tested this personally by swapping them out and flying each bird with the others props. Hope you enjoy your X-Star and don't hesitate to ask other questions should you have them!

Charlie Thanks for watching my videos Charlie and for the kind words. I appreciate them. So the X-Star does have no fly zones programmed into the Starlink app. It does not prevent you from flying but it does limit your elevation to 250 feet. This feature had been tested near large international airports and I have seen it work as I just described. I'm sure I don't need to remind you that you need to make the airport aware of your flights beforehand. It's been my experience that the municipal airport managers are happy to hear from you. I always make sure that I'm aware of the takeoff and approach directions for these locations and try to avoid any flights in those areas to avoid any issues. When you contact the airport, be sure to tell them when your flight will occur, maximum elevation you plan to fly as well as maximum distance you plan to operate. Be sure they have your mobile phone number in case something changes and an unplanned flight of a manned aircraft occurs. It's all about safety for you and users of the airport facilities. Thanks again fr watching my videos. More to come as soon as the weather allows.

Thanks for the fast reply Kevin. I had a fly-away with my Chroma. Unrecoverable over the ocean. :-( I think the X Star would be a good choice for what I need. I have spoken with the manager several times. He contacted me once to get some vids of an osprey nest on the property of the airport. So I am quite comfortable working with him. He said not to bother calling everytime time I go up. He has no problems with drones. Just make sure to get permission the first time, and then go from there. He has seen some footage from others and knows they didn't get permission, because to date, I am the only one.

Charlie Very good. I have similar relationships with property owners and airport managers so I understand completely. I think you will be very happy with the X-Star for sure. Buy the Premium as it is the best bang for your buck. However, if you can wait, Autel Robotics plan on introducing a new camera with a 1" CMOS sensor as well as a new model. This is all due to happen around April. I've been pleased with the performance of the X-Star and I highly recommend that you watch FPVGUY'S video showing all of the available drone cameras and which performs best. Surprisingly, the X-Star outperforms the X3 camera on the Inspire 1. Watch his video though as he does some in depth, scientific analysis. Good luck with your purchase! I can tell you that CarolinaDronz.com has the X-Star in stock and ready to ship now as well as additional batteries and a lot of other accessories. Be sure to tell them I sent you.

Will do!

I couldn't pass up a great deal I got at Caroliner Dronz. Frank gave me a great deal on a white XSP w/extra batt. My previous Chroma was white. I didn't have a problems keeping track of it. I haven't had the weather to fly yet. So I'm trying to learn what I can from your nice vids. Question; does the start motors button also shut them down? I like to "catch and release". Thanks again for the taking the time.

ROB MAIN Yeah, that happens sometimes. I love my X-Star but I also have a Phantom 4 Pro that is absolutely amazing. A video is coming soon!
