Interesting. To go further into this logic, then all youtube videos from drones are essentially illegal? I mean, Google makes money off of youtube through ad revenue, etc. The same as a newspaper or any other site would make money to either provide a service, get ad revenue, or sell a...

What if I have a friend who is looking for some aerial photos for a web site they are working on. Since drones are my hobby, I offer to take some photos for them and GIVE them to them, never intending to make money. Can they use these photos? Is this also subject to part 107? If part 101 is...

How would the fire mount on the controller? Does it require one of the clamp extender things, or does it fit natively? Sent from my XT1575 using MavicPilots mobile app

Orion from DecalGirl

A while back I found a web site called 3DLens.com (I am not associated) which sells polarizing film out of Taiwan. There are a few different sizes and types which are dirt cheap, so I figured I would give it a shot. The site has a minimum order of $10, so I ordered an assortment of films to...

I had the same thing happen in Florida, but I later received a refund for the difference. I paid $60 but got a refund check for the difference from $36.

I had a friend do this with a Phantom2 - multiple times in the same descent. He would cut motors, let it fall for a while, start them back up, get an altitude reading, calculate time vs. altitude delta, and then do it again. Same situation - he was really high up and the battery would have...

This is the Members Mark $20 16" case from Sam's Club. Fits everything from the fly more combo and my iPod.

The new go 4 app was the worst. The old app was decent on response. It would only fail a few times and then open properly.

Whatever you get, be sure it is iOS. I'm an android fanboy, but when I can't fly for 15 minutes because the go app won't open without crashing, I get pissed off. The developer for litchi even commented on the sdk improvements in iOS vs android. I ended up getting an iPod touch 6th gen off eBay...

After the latest update of Litchi, I don't see the Enable GEO System option anymore. I live on the outskirt of a NFZ, and only fly below roof level at my house, but without this option anymore, it pretty much makes Litchi a failure for me. Anyone else notice this?

Probably forever is right. Most of these regulations are from fear of possible (ugh, dare I use the word) terrorist activities. Don't get me started. Regulations only hurt the ones who follow them. But - that's only the seashore. I will still be filming the kitesurfers in the bay from my...

Holiday Isle, Destin here. Y'all keep in touch. I also have VTail, Tricopter, and Quad I fly. This will be my first "retail" UAV. The HUMONGOUS authorization zone really does suck, and I wasn't aware of this until after I placed my order. I checked to ensure I was not in a no-fly zone, but...
