    Deviated: My Mavic is sleeping 100ft up in a tree tonight

    Totally agree with your suggestion. A ladder isn't going to reach 100 feet.

    State Farm canceled me today

    Then they need to ad an exclusion for drones to their policy. Its as simple as that.

    State Farm canceled me today

    I'm a commercial lines insurance broker and in my opinion it is ridiculous that they are non-renewing your policy. Most commercial policies I've seen have an exclusion for drones which in some cases can be removed for an additional premium. What gets me is that you had been an insured with them...

    Harassment by drone using neighbor. Help!

    You seriously can't figure out what action to take? Put on your big boy pants and confront the neighbor and if that doesn't work then you call the police.

    Bird Tried To Attack My Mavic Pro! (Caught on video)

    Same thing happened to me well I was filming over Sleeping Giant Park in Connecticut. I extracted the frame from the video.

    Neighbor Hates Drone Questions for You Guys and Gals?

    I think your neighbor is a miserable person and miserable people blaim their misery on everyone else. Ever notice how the most miserable people are the biggest complainers. If you were to stop shooting your gun and flying your drone then this person would find something else to ***** about. They...

    Mavic distance is a joke!

    The range heavily depends on the area in which the drone is being flown. You'll find that you can fly it the furthest over a lake where there is nothing to block the signal. I've flown mine 4 miles over the Hudson River in NY and crashed on the way back because it didn't have enough juice to get...

    Scenario 2: low battery, long distance, and the wind shifts

    I'd hit the return to home button as I believe the drone will calculate the speed at which it needs to fly so as to make the most efficient use of the battery. I crashed my drone in the Hudson a few months ago because I decided to fly around for a minute or so after receiving a warning to Return...

    Is there a difference between 1080 and 4K?

    Collins makes a good point about one of the advantages of shooting in 4K. Better for cropping and panning.

    Is there a difference between 1080 and 4K?

    I think the primary difference is that you can play a 4k video on a large screen over 65 inches without the picture becoming blurry. I've noticed that when you play a video at a resolution below 720 that it looks fine on a small 27 inch TV. When you watch the same video on a 65 inch TV it is...

    Angry neighbor

    I highly doubt the idiot will shoot down your drone as I suspect he can go to jail for shooting a gun if you are in an urban or suburban area. This guy is most likely a miserable person that likes to complain about anything and everything. You should ask other neighbors if they know the guy. You...

    Do you wish you had gotten the P4P instead?

    I'd go with the Mavic. I think the only advantage the P4 Pro has is the camera performance on paper. In the real world I don't think you or anyone can tell the difference between pictures taken with one vs the other. I believe that pictures or video that I've taken that didn't come out well had...

    How long before preventative laws make drone flying as boring as everything else again?

    I read an article about how there was the same skepticism about bicycles when they first came out. People thought that bicyclists were out of control and a hazard to others. There are a lot of things that can be hazardous, but that doesn't mean we over regulate the use of these things. I think...

    max distance issue

    I travel a lot and have flown my drones in many different areas. I've had connection problems in mountain areas where it appears there should be no interference. Believe it or not I've had more connection problems in mountain areas than urban areas for some reason. I would try flying it over a...
