I received my CrystalSky Ultra Bright monitor from DJI repair facility CA yesterday. It died on me mid-flight with Cendence RC and Matrice 200, glad we have this magic RTH button handy. Anyway, as I was bench-testing the performance of CS, all of the sudden I start smelling a smoke. I shut the system down immediately and tried to locate the source of burning odour. Found nothing, but had to jump off my panties instead. Literally ... No, I didn't poop myself, smart asses!

Lesson learned ... Never, ever put your vaping device in a pocket next to a car keys!

Glad it didn't explode in your pocket! and hopefully you get the CS figured out.

Oh, forgot to mention ... Yes, CS Ultra seems to work fine.

Now that's funny! Don't forget to lock that thing or you may end up on one of those "FAIL" videos Ken.

Yes, I'm back home, Rich. It was a disappointment, again due to overwhelming wildfire smoke. I'm afraid clear summer sky in this part of the world is a thing of the past ...

I am hoping that we can have the forests managed again with fire lanes and select tree cutting like in the 1980s. I would rather see the trees cut responsibility this way we can have clear sky's in the summer again.  Letting the forest burn down every year to make the environmental folks happy is not working for me.
  

Have a good one!
