Re: All the Gear

By the time you add a keyboard and pen you are looking at $700-800

Re: All the Gear

Surface is good - I'm on my 3rd - but they are somewhat overpriced IMO. The top of the wozza i7/16GB/1TB is nearly 4 grand - excluding keyboard and pen! I recently got the Pro i5/4Gb/128GB (run out)...

Re: All the Gear

Re: All the Gear

DJI released an updated version called the Platinum a few months ago but I don't think the extra performance of it justifies the additional cost. There are better drones available off the shelf but...

Things are picking up work-wise for me and for the first time in years, I received a bonus. With some of this, yesterday I bought a DJI Mavic Pro drone

Re: All the Gear

One of the most useful apps I've used is the spirit level. I've used it to get a shelf level and also when setting up the drones that I've been building

VR - I'm a bit ambivalent about it. It has its place but is not the 2nd coming as some would have us believe

This brought a tear to my eye though:
