    Mavic 2 Enterprise Advanced Dual (thermal) vs M3T

    I'm just getting my feet wet in thermal. Is the M3T worth 2.5 times that of an M2EA thermal? I already have 2 Mavic 2 Pro drones so I already have batteries, props, etc.

    A.P.: What you need to know about the DJI drone ban in the U.S.

    I fly with an iPad or iPhone and no smart controller. Is that what you mean? I know it's rhetorical but why can't the technology determine what the chips inside are doing as far as sending data???

    A.P.: What you need to know about the DJI drone ban in the U.S.

    How would the government restrict or ground DJI drones? Can gps satellites restrict what devices read positioning? Is it prudent to purchase a DJI drone now or hold off until this gets settled?

    Automating Wall Facade Shots

    I am shooting a roof/wall Facade (tomorrow), snapping photos every few seconds while tracing the perimeter of a building. Any suggestions for automating this with preferably dronedeploy. Thanks!

    Registration process to fly drone in Italy

    That's partially true. If the drone under 250 grams has a camera, you must register yourself. See this link: https://www.dronelicense.eu/pages/drone-laws-italy#:~:text=Before%20you%20fly%20a%20drone,you%20will%20be%20flying%20first.

    Firmware update for M2P standard controller not working

    I think I figured it out. Apparently the DJI Go4 app was not starting at the beginning screen so it wasn't checking controller firmware level. Tapping the DJI hot spot in the upper left corner put me to the starting screen and it noticed the firmware needed to be updated.

    Firmware update for M2P standard controller not working

    Hi all, I have 2 Mavic 2 pro drones. One of them I have already updated, it upgraded a/c and batteries without a problem. Trying to update the second, when connected to my ipad and checking for updates, it indicated that it was up to date. I then downloaded Assistant 2, did the aircraft...

    Mapping with Mavic 2 Pro

    Is it easy to superimpose over what's produced from dronedeploy, etc? I'm still not clear. Thanks.

    Does dronedeploy or pix4d produce some kind of a survey map with property lines?

    Mapping with Mavic 2 Pro

    I'm looking for pointers to information on how to do mapping. Maybe even more basic, 1. what does mapping produce? Does it produce a survey? How are property lines determined? I'd like to map out my property with my Mavic 2 Pro to see if I want to buy a Mavic 3E to get into mapping. I'm...

    Mavic 3 Enterprise Camera

    I have researched but it's not clear...Does the Mavic 3 Enterprise have a Hasselblad camera like the Mavic 3 (non-classic)? I want a drone to use for photography and also for mapping with a mechanical shutter. How important is the cine 5.1k recording function?

    Drone insurance in Italy from USA

    Thanks, it sounds reasonable, but Italy requires liability insurance. From what I'm reading about the policy it's really for lost/stolen/damaged items.

    Drone insurance in Italy from USA

    This question has been asked before but buried in other posts. Can anybody suggest where to get drone liability insurance for a month for Italy (and Switzerland)? I looked at coverdrone but it doesn't cover US citizens.
