Other than physically going to a Walmart is there a good way to see if mine has done an error? I looked online and the website still shows full price. Because that's pretty cool.

Yeah I used Brickseek. Only one Wally World around me had it listed for $74. Just keep checking especially as we get closer to the holidays. Walmart currently has a Final Fight cab for $199 everywhere, but if you're gonna do the Pi setup you'll need a lot more buttons so you'll need a drill. A 30mm hole saw or 1 1/8 step bit will make a perfect sized hole. I'm doing that on mine to add a Coin 1 and Coin 2.

At that point why not just build your own full sized cabinet? I got the asteroids one of those things and run it as is, and while it is pretty good the thing looks like its been in an arcade for a decade after a year of being in a basement (and seeing regular use). It's not that much more expensive to do your own from scratch if you're going to be putting that much work into modding one. e; I guess you can get more uniform results if you're doing multiples and have a lower skill/power tool requirement.

Space and budget mostly. This is definitely a lot smaller than a regular cab. I'm finishing my basement but we want to install a projector down there for movies so I have to maximize the space. I was offered a few years back to buy a real Simpsons cab but they wanted like $900 and that's before maintaining it. Plus these get the job done. I have a Micro Center near me that sells complete DIY full size kits with a Pi and everything but they're near like $800. This all in ran me about $400.

I built a raspberry pi on a sf cab as well but got mine a few months ago for 150 on clearance. I thought I got a great deal. For ~75 bucks and with a pi/joy sticks/buttons it's still insanely cheap.

Even the 6qt units sport lovely parts in the gear box that will eventually cause it to go out. I have had a 575W 6qt for over ten years now and had to replace the original plastic gears (lol) with brass parts, but they also don't last forever. I've done two complete replacements on that. Most recently the lower case had to be replaced because the shaft bushing was worn through. Maybe don't use it all day every day.

They definitely aren't being made like they used to, cause my mom has a 6qt lift that's almost as old as I am and she used it almost every day for 30 years, and it only needed a couple repairs

Pre-trip report on the DJI Mavic Mini: Got the Fly More Kit from a local retailer within 24 hours, as DJI hadn't even shipped it. The kit is awesome and well designed, you got everything you need in a neat little kit. I went out to testfly it yesterday, sadly it was already dark and there was intermittent rain, so I only took it up once. Still, even though it is light, it feels very well built and was incredibly stable. I'm looking forward to whenever I catch enough daylight to play with it more. Also, I live close to an airport and there are some areas I can't even launch at my own risk, which is annoying but oh well. I would be allowed to fly at certain heights in these areas. I am only now noticing some other drones in a similar price range that seem good quality (like the Xiaomi) but I'm not disappointed yet. Also, shoutout to the tutorial (I accidentally started) being exactly like in every game. "Turn your camera left. Turn your camera right Walk left. Walk right"

I did some test flights today in cold, windy and overcast weather with mine, the video quality is pretty good for an entry level budget drone. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=faNX37LtN3o I did notice a few times where the live feed on my phone was lagging, but it never affected the control of the drone. Overall this was a good purchase.

Man, you live somewhere pretty- I bet that is gorgeous in the summer. I see quite a lot of artifacting, but I assume that is down to youtube's lovely compression, rather than the footage. What do still images look like?

Shut up Meg posted:Thanks. Thanks, the park is one of my favorite places to walk. Yeah, there was a small amount of artifacts on the original video that the youtube compression didn't do any favors. The still images are pretty much on par with newer phone cameras. From what I have used so far, the still images have more control options than the video.   The photos are jpeg only, so it is a bit disappointing if you are use to shooting and editing RAW files.

Trip report on the DJI Mavic Mini: It's loving amazing, buy it now. No but seriously, I love this thing. I've only flown it in overcast and windy conditions, and it's an absolute trooper. The video is stable as gently caress, you can fly anywhere you want and tje controls are extremely stable and responsive. I've found range to be quite limited inside the city, but you wanna stay close in order to monitor for collision hazards anyway. As for free-air range, I have no idea, it was too windy for me to comfortably fly it further out when it was already extremely far away. Hell, this thing is amazing just for scouting, being able to video it as well feels almost like a bonus. I am seriously thinking about starting an evaluation for emergency scene management with this thing. I know they did it with bigger drones, but this thing is a game changer. The fact that it is fairly low risk makes it even nicer, because I tend to worry a lot, but I know I'm not putting anyone in danger with this thing and can dare to fly over places I'd be scared to drop something bigger. Legally, it's also great, because unlike any heavier drones, the Mavic Mini can be flown almost anywhere. I've crashed it once during extremely strong wind with sport mode engaged, brought it down and too close to a metal railing. Entirely my fault, the drone had already told me several times to land because of strong wind. Wouldn't have happened in any other mode, I just didn't do a good job slowing down. Only damage is a small chunk broken out of one blade, it almost seems unaffected by it, but I'll change it anyway, just to be safe.

It does and I wanted to test it, but with the weather I didn't wanna put it out too far. As far as I can tell, it just goes to the height you set for the return home feature (preferably very high) and lands straight down at the GPS location.

I'm definitely curious about the GPS restrictions on it as I was very disappointed that my Mavic 2 Pro would not fly in the park next to my house because it's technically in an airport's flight path. If this thing doesn't have the same location restrictions because it's under the weight limit, I'm all over it.

Larger drones have additional restrictions about flying over people, requiring registration etc.
