I did my first flight with Tower last night and it went great.  How are you planning for missions and accounting for heights of objects.  I was thinking, fly once on manual with Tower reading off telemetry and fly around the objects I want to avoid.…

Does anyone know the exact size of these screws that mount the camera to the gimbal?  I am using a T6, but its a little to small.  The T7 is too big.  What exact size is this?

How should I store my batteries when I am not charging them.  I use a Lipo bag when charging already,  Should I store each battery when not changed in a Lipo bag by itself?txsM.

"I ordered the cable.  I reviewed the instructions, but I am not clear on how to actually charge the battery with this cable.  Can I hack this cable with a mini usb connector on the other side?

Or do I draw power from the flight battery? "
