And nigh worthless seeing as a lot of phone carriers will siliently delete your text if they spot a .xyz domain in it.

Why would they do that? They will change policy anyway if the TLD keeps getting popular. You gotta see things for what they are headed not for what they are.

Unless you want people to send each other texts about your domain today, rather than 2 years in the future. Yeah, register the .xyz domain on top of .com now, but don't put the TLD in your trademark...

Not in the graphic arts, but this is the most appropriate use of an .xyz domain I've yet seen.

.xyz is blowing up and gaining a lot of reputation. It's the new .io and .ai. Incredibly hip for your startup. abc.xyz block.xyz Look at all the HN articles pouring in with this TLD: https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&qu... But you're right. Spatial domain products should jump all in on this.

They certainly blew up 6/7 years ago when they were a few quid/year to register

They have a lot of catching up to do if they want to improve reputation.

Learning about this app just made my day! As an owner of a Sony Alpha 1 mirrorless camera it'll be super useful. The A1 is one of the first cameras of its type to capture gyro metadata natively. While Sony ships some stabilization software for the A1, a quick look at it left me less than enthusiastic about the workflow of Sony's app and its rather limited capabilities.

While the drone demos are cool, the non-drone creative possibilities for amateur filmmakers will be equally impactful. Imagine being able to get perfect crane-style interior tracking shots just using a long pole. As great as they are, drones aren't allowed in a lot of environments due to noise, distraction, insurance, etc. Flying a four pound stabilized cinema rig usually requires a BIG hexacopter that is loud and, frankly, pretty scary to be close to. A lot of us low-to-no budget filmmakers (and students) rely on shooting in improvised locations because we don't have the budget to shut down a city street to get a shot.

I'm excited to try this on some handheld run-and-gun action footage. The Alpha 1 camera is amazingly small and light for the pro cinema level quality it delivers which is why it would be a shame to stick it in on a big stabilizing gimbal rig. Capturing gyro metadata natively is an inexpensive 'no-brainer' feature all 'serious' cameras should include.

Had to quickly go register a bunch of .xyz domains after reading this comment, being a graphics guy.

What are you looking to do? Tripod-in-the-sky? Acrobatic crazy stuff? Cruising around? Speaking for myself, I wanted to feel like I was piloting something, not just stiffly moving a camera around. I thought I wanted long flight times but have since realized that I really wanted acrobatic ability. A 2S TinyWhoop drone is about $100-150 and is very durable. I wouldn't call it indestructible, because you can definitely…

I agree with all of the above, but am avoiding work and thought I’d chime in as well: > ExpressLRS: Open source radio control protocol. Range will exceed your battery. This is probably a good call for this audience. I expect ELRS will win out in the mid- to long-term for most things. A few people will stick with other protocols like TBS Crossfire or Tracer - I plan to, but honestly they don’t offer anything that ELRS…

I'm fairly sure ELRS is going to eat everything else, it's already better than all the alternatives, even going by just bugs getting fixed more quickly and ignoring price, availability, range, features, etc.

Also, if you add a GPS to your quads, Betaflight can already RTH them fairly well (though more "disarm while the quad is flying towards your head" than "RTH", but still). With a compass, INAV can bring it back and land it fairly accurately.
