    Hey need the best as affordable range extender for my Mavic air.

    https://www.amazon.com/Accessories-Controller-Foldable-Extender-Transmitter/dp/B073CVQB5G?tag=mavicpilots-20 I have a set of those “range extenders” .. I see zero extension of range when using them. I’ve read the antenna replacement systems do very well but they are quite expensive. For what...

    Mavic Pro owner making problems

    I don’t think you should be concerned about “getting in trouble”. You’ve had local PD say they will do nothing. Plus not only have you been harassed you have your neighbors who have had the same experiences. This kind of thing is is bulling plain and simple. You can’t allow this kind of...

    Any experiences Drone fishing with the Drone Skyhook?

    There’s just no need for this kind of response. I’m sure it’s a serious question to the author ... don’t be a jerk. All that will do is set up an environment where people are hesitant to ask questions for fear of how they “will look”. The truth is ... The only dumb question is one you don’t ask.

    State Farm canceled me today

    While I can’t dispute your logic ... your not actually defending the insurance industry?!?!? Despite what their commercials tell me .. they don’t care about me, or mine. Claim denial is SOP and their certainly not worth defending. State launches Aetna probe after stunning admission - CNN

    What to do if... Wind takes a your drone?

    UAV Forcast app is the best preventivitive measure out there IMO. The whole “ounce of prevention .... “ thing.

    Harassment by drone using neighbor. Help!

    While 5-0 is the best course of action, at least as a first response, “Dont wast your time on forums like these” is a bit harsh. Personally I have found this forum to be a VAST wealth of drone info. I appreciate this community and what information lies within. Just my 2 cents

    Long story of my lost Mavic in the Mountains

    Seriously!?!?!? See this is exactly what happens when leadership fails a society. The manipulation, executed on all of us as a society, by our “so called leaders” has tainted our view of humanity. Cry’s of “fake news” have destroyed the fabric of our country. No one trusts anyone! Its even...

    Long story of my lost Mavic in the Mountains

    Congrats on retrieval .. dedication does indeed payoff. Here’s something I find useful as I had a similar experience with my Mavic (but got it back home). That experience lead me to exploring options on current wind / flying conditions .. which lead me to this UAV Forecast I fly with my...

    It's true, it WILL happen

    Man Im sorry your stuck with such a difficult neighbor. I get that as flyers there are certain things we do, or can do, that would arouse suspicion and/or just be inappropriate. Hovering over houses, low buzzing, and the like ... but the general impression of the non-flying population is that...
