[@WOTHFPV]

@@motionsick The problem with your statement is you cannot prove ANY data from a DJI in not already secure. Congress is currently trying to declassify the so-called secret intel showing some risk of using DJI drones. Do you have access to the top secret FBI data? I've owned every DJI drone since the F450. THEY DO NOT SEND DATA TO ANYONE (unless you turn on the flight log sync as an option)! I've port sniffed, port and socket monitored, etc... Not once did any of my DJI drones every attempt to "call home". So I assume the FBI has more info that NONE OF US are even aware of. Or... its all BS created by USA Drone Manufacture's Lobbyists. hmm Provide a link to anyone that can prove data is not secure on a DJI drone. Also, DJI DID do something to help all the cry babies calm down, the turned off the ability to sync flight data. Kinda sucks for those of us the rely on that data after jobs, but whatever now we just copy files manually. I hate using a Chinese Drones for work, but they are the only company on Earth that makes good drones at a good price. Freefly Systems is no where near where they need to be to really compete, but I sure hope they get there! They could offer this drone with a 80% off discount and it would still be too spendy for small DPS's.

[@zevi]

Astro is a work drone, not some selfie toy. It flies better than any other drone on the market. You get what you pay with drones and I wouldn't trust any platform more with valuable payloads.

Looks fantastic, credits to the filming and editing team, and the script for having real technical content. Could Freefly make a public statement on whether they have been involved in any of the politics, or financing any of the politics, regarding the ban of DJI products? It's important for consumers to know if a company is really trustworthy, or is going to have the stock losses of Skydio.

[@AMPhotography]

Looks pretty innovative. I see a lot of people saying strange things without understanding that this is a pro drone. This is not a consumer product. Only DJI project it can be compared will be with Inspire; which most people talking about have probably never even seen. Folks it is not a Mini 4 Pro. So don't compare it with consumer drones. It will be out of league for most of the people. The lightest camera of this in Europe will need you to go through a professional flight training class. So what is the point of raising eyebrow on this? Just watch and enjoy thinking it is not for you! Definitely not for me either.

No fear of revealing the lvl 3 out 5 trchnical details & really concerns on obsolescence. This is my exact thought on mounts and battery redundancy. Custom package batteries make even a fit product obsolete. Like Dji Osmo line, Mavic line or so on. Insta, Go Pro and so on.

⁠@@freeflysystemsawesome, I’ve never heard that before. Super cool!

​@@freeflysystemsWould that be the type of 'second' that divides in to arc-seconds, or multiplies in to degrees? (rather then milliseconds or minutes)

[@tenebreonlabs]

​@PiDsPagePrototypes it's the unit of time. For example, being capable of 1 RPM/second means your rotor can change its rate of rotation, measured in RPM, by 1 each second.

[@ChrisHarmon1]

Why doesn't everyone spin the props slower? Because you cannot overcome reaction time with a finely tuned control system alone. Counter rotating props or collective pitch are the two options off top of my head.

[@tabbfirchau1]

At the system level if you pay attention to details you can have big, slow, efficient props with awesome control bandwidth (more than needed) which is what we did here. Astro is substantially more precise than a big single rotor with 700mm or 800mm blades spinning 1000 to 1300 RPM.
