    Drones for sale on Face Book seem to all be scams

    Isn't it the other way around LOL? Anyways, while there are certainly scams, there are great deals out there too. I found a guy selling a Mavic 3 Pro Fly More Combo for $1,000. I met him and grilled him about why he was selling it for so cheap. He claimed he bought it to "film his horses" but...

    5 Churches but inside too ?

    I do a lot of indoor flying for video content creation and it's not that complicated really. The auto settings on DJI drones typically do a great job but as with anything, flip to manual and make your own adjustments if needed. These are not frenetic shots and there's zero reason to expect...

    Got a visit while flying near Denver Broncos stadium today at 5:40am

    I had the same exact thing happened to me at Gillette Stadium in Foxboro. Next to the stadium there's a Bass pro shop and behind that there's a cranberry bog and nature preserve. I was doing some photography down there and tried to get a few shots up around the stadium. Again, it wasn't...

    Never bought from B&H Photo... should i?

    As others say, there is no more credible company than B&H. They are great and earn their good reputation. Also, get their Payboo card. B&H Payboo is a rewards credit card that instantly rebates US sales tax on purchases.

    Terrible LAANC ATC Treatment in San Juan PR

    Honestly, it sounds more like you are mixed up in what approvals you need and how to go about getting them rather than you being ignored and disrespectd. Don't expect approval via LAANC in a 0' grid. Apply through DroneZone for an airspace authorization. I have filled in 100's of these and have...

    Range decreases DRAMATICLY when updates are available.

    No, I am on three year old firmware for two different drones and don't update them and never had range degradation.

    KP Index 5.33

    Did you write the blog post that you cut and pasted that from and have actual knowledge of this science or just passing along the oft-repeated theoretical impacts to drones?

    KP Index 5.33

    I fly 20 times a week at minimum for 10 years. I've never once given a split second thought to KPI. I think it's nothing to worry about and I've never heard of a single issue related to DJI drones

    My Air2s cannot zoom in taking static photos

    I understand how photography works but sometimes it's handy to zoom in to be able to see what I'm filming- especially when doing things like roof inspections. I then have to switch to video mode, zoom in to look at detail, and then switch back to photo mode which is cumbersome process. Don't...

    My Air2s cannot zoom in taking static photos

    In my opinion, it's a ridiculous limitation. Even the Mavic 3, unless in explore mode, can't zoom for photos

    RC Pro HDMI Out Camera View

    Yeah, weirdly enough, this option went away. I replaced the cable with a new cable and that seemed to work. No idea why the cable made a difference, but it is working now! thanks everyone

    What is “too windy” for you?

    I fly in that wind condition all the time. If I waited for a dead calm, I'd never be flying.

    Why are drones not offered in more visible colours?

    I use skins for fun. They add a lot of color and flair. What they don't add is any increased visibility. After 50' or so, doesn't much matter what color it is. If you're struggling for visibility, add a strobe.

    Extending your drones battery life. (By Akshata)

    Article was certainly written by AI and is terrible like most of the posts on that site

    Craft "cannot takeoff"

    I've had that happen and it was caused by a battery with an issue. Try swapping battery
