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...

If all footage that was shot illegally gets pulled, there would be no footage at all online.

Right. Because if they labeled it as under 250 grams and it turned out to be 251 grams, the US government might get mad. Can't have that!

I returned to the USA from a trip to Europe 2 days ago (still jetlagged). I had with me my Mini 3 Pro, which I bought new in the USA from Amazon years ago back when things were reasonable (and which I used a good bit in Italy while on the trip). No look at my bags, no questions at all, nor any...

I'll be visiting Thailand in April, and I will be bringing along my Mini 3 Pro. If things are still as restricted then as you say they are currently, I'll probably have some questions for you (so please don't disappear 😜). Thanks for keeping us posted on the situation (and hopefully, the...

OK, I'll behave...

OP insists he can accurately estimate aircraft altitudes from the ground. Not believable. OP says he knows someone who flies airplanes literally at treetop altitudes. Not believable. OP doesn't say much about where exactly he is seeing all these airplanes tangling with the trees. The federal...

Good!

Really? It doesn't look like it to me (and I'm thousands of miles away from where you sit). If the screenshot above (which you uploaded, I just highlighted the v-e-r-y obvious clues) really shows the page you downloaded from, it's pretty clear. This is a download for a Mac OS desktop/laptop...

I *think* (based on a screen shot) the OP is using a computer running some version of Windows, but that he downloaded the Mac version of the app. If that's the case, he should stop and start over with downloading the right bits. Macs don't need a separate app to unzip a Zip file. For Windows...

OMG!!!! I have Done Assist right here! Used it extensively in June when I was visiting the UK (see an example below). I'm all registered with EASA, drone labelled, both the drone and me are fully-compliant with all the regs - already. You're right - the app works for Italy. Holy cow...

Preface: I live in the USA. I've been flying airplanes for decades (private pilot, learned to fly airplanes when I was a kid - I own a Cessna now). Been flying drones for about 5 years now. As I have an actual crewed-aircraft pilots license (which I value), I try to follow all the rules, even...

Can you point me to any "Italian drone forums"?
