    Best Matrice setup - guidance and battery and x3

    Bill, I think the best placement is one battery on top, one battery underneath.

    Two issues: can't update firmware + RC not linked to M100

    ok, here is the fix. if you have a camera (x3) download the X3 camera update (August 2015), install, then download the current update (April13 2016) install. Should allow it to recover and work properly, then you can use the Assistant software to connect to the aircraft.

    Smootar, I pulled it off the SD card that I put in the camera. I have the same problem when connecting my PC to the aircraft, they just do not talk to each other. Do you have a Video Decoder? That would work ILO the camera.

    that is an interesting idea. i am going to look and see if i have one. assuming it is booting into windows? i still think a simple reset button like on the inspire would be helpful.

    Kevin, I have had the same problem. PC would not recognize the aircraft, shut it down, now when i turn on the bird all i get is a constant 2 beep pattern. I can connect the controller and ipad, but can not get any input from the controller or control the camera.

    USA Change in FAA practice re: flying in Class D airspace for 333 exemption holders?

    I have experienced the same situation as Drone Tech. That being so, I just include it into the cost of everything we do. Where I am there are several military bases and I have had to meet with all of them to get the COA through. I have not had any denied as of yet.
