    DJI ban: What happens to the drone I already own?

    I'm more worried about the karen's coming over to demand to know the make of my drone (which :cool: ) then I would refuse and then piss off karen who most likely will call said police making exaggerated claims and I would only worry about an uninformed officer... Other than that I don't fly near...

    New DJI policy: No flight record syncing for US drone pilots

    I started a log book in 2023 and I went back to my first flights with my Mini 2 and then my Mavic 3 Pro. I log Date and time, Pre-flight, LANNC, GE-LOC, Reason for mission (sunset, fall foliage) location, Battery(s) used and notes. I keep the notebook with my backpack that I keep the drone in.

    Air 2s Fly to the top of a hotel

    Because of where he's flying or because he probably didn't have LOS on the drone?

    Sudden compass error caused crash at take off

    https://www.phantomhelp.com/logviewer/5JL42M660UFUVQHQLR2945BL7OPNDJ5F I believe this is the file you are looking for. I see nothing but user error. I "should" have waited for a full complement of sats. I pulled back ( on the right-hand controller. But in my defence this was in response to it...

    Sudden compass error caused crash at take off

    I'm watching this because after the big update earlier this week, the next flight I was looking to do a sunset launch. I've been doing these for years from my wooden deck. I will usually get all my sats and then start/takeoff but on many occasions I take off with 4-9 sats, climb to 3-4 ft and...

    Mavic 3 Pro pano use

    almost... but that requires special runtime C++ libraries and when it goes to get them... they are no longer available... :cool: It's not meant to be... (in other words I'm not dedicated enough to search the dark crevasses of the internet to find it all...

    A couple of photography questions

    I have two CF cards (8GB) in front of me with images recorded on them from 2015 or 9 years ago. I switch to a new camera at this point and the images are fine

    Congress seems to be inching closer to banning DJI Drones

    I don't fly as your kind of business, I'm a landscape photographer/artist and while my drone photography is only maybe 3% of my art sales, it is slowly growing. I don't plan to quit flying my drone unless they cause it to stop flying and become uncontrollable. I think we would have a class...

    A couple of photography questions

    Learn the device and the terms and the photography will happen. If you are holding a camera and you stand in place but rotate your body in small increments (left or right) and take a shot each time you stop, that is called horizontal panning and if you stand in one spot point the camera low...

    FBI & Air Force OSI knocked on my door

    They know far more than you and I would like them to know. They use tools far more sophisticated than Areoscope, I'm betting. Nope, don't work for them but retired Air Force and had a clearance that meant I saw things on how they collect intel. The big question is not if they know you are there...

    A week ago in Salem MA, flooding and a Double Rainbow

    Thank you, it was a good day to fly... winds were a bit out of tolerance, but it worked
