Staghorn Sumac at Sunset

Staghorn Sumac at Sunset

Yesterday, we went to Forest Park. I had planned on flying my drone, to get some pictures of the Glade. This new attraction that includes Steinberg Rink is still locked behind construction fencing, but it is scheduled to be completed by the end of this month. Unfortunately, my current iPhone is not compatible with the drone’s old lightning connector. I ordered an adaptor that would change the base station console’s connector from lightning to USB-C, but the adaptor’s own advertising had numerous caveats about its functionality. I am now leery of flying with it. So, I contacted DJI, the drone’s manufacturer. This cost me $2 and supposedly entitled me to online support, but after waiting on hold for more than an hour I gave up and hung up. While I was on hold, I found a DJI USB-C connector that is sold by Walmart. I went ahead and ordered it, but delivery is not expected until the end of the month. While writing this post, I remembered that the drone came with a second console-cellphone connecting cable. This cable, designed for use with Android phones, has a USB-C connector. Exactly what I was looking for. I tested it and it works fine. Now I will have to return the items ordered and get a refund.
