Darwin Award winner here for sure. If anyone ever doubts why drones are so widely hated, why the regulations and restrictions keep piling up, and why folks feel drones need to be outlawed, just read this thread. We are doomed. "This is why we can't have nice things."

Update from Master Airscrews: So, maybe that means it'll just take a while - or maybe they're still thinking about it. 🤷‍♂️

Well I did drop them a line, asking if they could share anything about plans for M5P props. Have not heard back yet, but it's holiday time so I wouldn't expect any update until after the first of the year. If I get a response, I'll post it here.

I note that there do not appear to be any Master Airscrew after-market props available for the Mini 5 Pro, either directly from MAS or on Amazon, or anyplace else I've looked. At least not yet. Maybe that'll change? I believe that MAS typically releases their versions of props for DJI...

That would seem to contradict what has been posted recently in this thread: Thailand - Drone ban lifted but App to report flights mandatory now No? I thought the war was over...gosh, doesn't a FIFA Peace Prize mean anything nowadays? :rolleyes:

Nice stuff. I too am just starting to explore my new Mini 5 Pro. We've had a lot of nasty weather for weeks so opportunities have been limited. The hyperlapse looks cool, thanks for sharing.

To "rat out" someone is a term commonly used by members of the mafia, and other violent criminals, when someone decides to cooperate with a police investigation against them. It's also a term used by the current US administration, but that's beside the point. If someone is flagrantly and...

Perhaps a patient at an institution providing mental health services? Just a guess. Post sounded like a crackpot/troll to me - an excess of hyperbole, attitude issues (look up "anti-authority attitude" on any FAA web page). Sadly, I don't think it's a "small percentage" of drone owners who...

I ordered a Mini 5 Pro Fly More Plus combo from Korean seller "102_store" on eBay late night on Thursday 11/27 (Thanksgiving night), like around midnight (Pacific time). It was delivered today, Tuesday 12/2. Not too shabby for coming from Korea to the US west coast. Given the long holiday...

The Korean Connection.

Thanks for the kind words. It was a great trip. Beautiful places. The food wasn't awful, either.

I'll be going in April. I have family there who are probably willing to let me use their phone numbers, residential address, etc., and fill in some forms for me if needed. Since my visit there will be fairly short and I'd rather not waste valuable vacation time on bureaucratic tasks, I'd prefer...

What app is that Geozone map screenshot from? (I'll be heading to the Philippines next spring and would like to look at airspace restrictions...). Thanks and good luck.

I was watching the world series, and saw the commercial. As it rolled, I smiled, nodded, and assumed that the Democrats must be paying the bill (ad time during the world series is v-e-r-y expensive). At the end, I nearly gagged on my beer when it came up as sponsored by the Province of Ontario...

Well, there's one US politician that could easily and immediately "solve the problem." But that would probably require far too large a donation for DJI. I believe that the company's name, "DJI" stands for "Da-Jiang Innovations". Maybe it would help if they could just change the company name to...
