Nicely done. There's something poignant and a bit sad about a ship being decommissioned and scrapped. They're something more than just big machines.

"my wife's mouth hasn't stopped running since I told her what happened" Well, it seems that she understands the gravity of flying a drone into a house.

Are you talking about the user id and password to log on to your DJI account?

Very nice photograph. Lots of texture in the sky and ground.

Per post #20, "DJI may well elect to give you a new battery, for good publicity, customer relations, or whatever. But not because their product warranty covers such owner-inflicted damage." Your last (no negligence, or carelessness) paragraph and your initial post about how you exposed the...

Very nice work. And well chosen music. The segment beginning at 0:40 is particularly interesting. Alaska certainly looks different without all the white stuff covering the ground.

Very interesting video. Is the crane being transported to be used onshore? Do you know anything about how they stabilize the ship with all that mass so high up? Thanks for posting.

So, your point was that nations regulate certain activities to ensure that the public is served by qualified people? The point of this absurdity completely evades me. I get your points - government is bad and you have insights into the coming cataclysms that most of us lack. Over and out.

And now you're imagining my thoughts and intentions. By the way, our federal government, state, and local governments have a long and extensive history of telling us what we need permits and licenses to do, from providing manicures and accounting services to owning dogs to fishing to driving a...

An imagined scenario. Or is there a state that is considering such a rule? A four-stage imagined scenario. Has any state suggested such a measure penalizing the use of drones for photographs? Are there examples of the adder/delayed adder/unavailable adder situation you describe with any other...

What is the specific message that appeared? This sounds like a memory problem (per the error message you reported) rather than a storage problem. You seem to have no storage issues. I suspect that the DJI rep's response was just a wild guess. Was the second hyperlapse you attempted set to the...

Blurring of long-exposure photos is more likely due to the drone movement rather than gimbal instability.

DJI may well elect to give you a new battery, for good publicity, customer relations, or whatever. But not because their product warranty covers such owner-inflicted damage. I personally would be embarrassed to ask for a replacement for a battery I damaged by my own carelessness. I'd just...

A motor error would not cause the drone's processor and camera to get "messed up" and change the way the camera imagery is processed and presented on the screen.

There is no warranty for damage negligently inflicted by the owner. You described how you damaged it yourself by sitting near it in a wet bathing suit and getting salt water on it. The date of manufacture and the date of purchase have no significance here.
