Because, and I am quoting from his listing- "I am a professional Photographer and have used this drone for my business since March 2023." I wasn't just guessing as you imply. He stated it.

I'm buying a drone that costs $700+ so I wanted to know how used it was. Seeing how many hours on it tells me a lot (and how worn the batteries might be). I didn't ask for a screen cap of the flight logs just total time. Wanted to know about registration because obviously that is something that...

Negotiating with a professional photographer who is selling his drone (upgrading). Asked about the registration, he told me it is not registered because it is under 250 g. Oookay, not my job to tell him that if he's not using it recreationally registering it is the least of his problems. Asked...

New to the Mini 3 Pro, noticed that when I plug my Google Pixel 7 into the RC N1 controller it starts charging the phone. I don't want it to do that so I was wondering if this function can be disabled. I can't tell the phone not to accept the free power... Thanks!

Thanks for all the welcomes, thank you GFields for the info on removing the GPS info. LoudThunder I did do all the minimum legal requirements, have my TRUST cert and downloaded (and read) the rules from FPV Freedom Coalition. We have everything except vultures here- osprey, bald eagles, golden...

Just unboxed and had my first flights today of a Mini 3 Pro. Got the deal from Costco with 2 extra regular batteries, keeping it under that magical 250g weight at all times. So I just did a little flying around my back yard, snapped some pictures and got the hang of things. No crashes yet (5...

New York says "Nyet". Glad I live in Montana. I have to go search for a forbidden zone (Glacier NP, Malmstrom missile command... yet the no fly zone is about 1.5 acres directly over the silos)
