    I can't recall if I posted this here before, but this is updated as of late last year for the northeast states. B4UFly covers FAA restricted airspace, but note that state and municipalities can restrict, too. According to the FAA, though, you can fly OVER Hammonassett, but according to the state...

    Cool shots. Thanks for sharing! It was such an incredible experience and sight, I’m grateful to have gotten to experience it in person. This was mostly with my P4P, but here’s a quick vid from Middletown and Haddam. Connecticut River Icejam ... uh, Jam // Jan 2018 Haddam + Middletown

    Gotten insurance with State Farm? If so please read!

    Thanks for sharing this thread. A few things to add First, I have held off on doing this for a while because I had concerns about this being linked to my other insurance. A claim on a $1,000 drone is pretty silly if it drives up my homeowners by $5K next year. I had an extensive discussion with...

    Yaw drift problem and solution

    Sadly looks like I spoke a bit too soon. :( It's always been intermittent but it was more solid than ever for two flights. Last night it was back to its old tricks. Further testing in controlled environments necessary. In the meantime, my Mavic gimbal remains rock solid!

    Yaw drift problem and solution

    HOLY #*@*$@)$* Thank you both!!!! My Mavic has been rock solid from day one when I got in April. Got a second one w/ refresh, same, perfect. But my P4P from when I got it in early June has always drifted, since the first flight. It has been a terrible annoyance, often drifting up to 10% of the...

    Autopilot: Waypoints - Loss of signal issues/questions

    I'll just throw in there another statement that, yeah, the Mini 2 won't work. I used an Air 1 and Mini 2 at first (same hardware as each other) and it was just useless. I loved the promise of AP but just felt frustrated all the time. It worked flawlessly on my iPhone 7+ but the smaller screen...

    Hangar Autopilot User's Forum

    So thinking about this a bit more. I did notice that Hangar has a forum now, but it's not a great forum software nor is there a dedicated Autopilot section. Perhaps we can either request that they add an autopilot section, or, actually, ask MavicPilots/PhantomPilots/InspirePilots to make a...

    Autopilot 4.1 - Path Inspector

    Aha! Got it! At least I can exactly match your behavior on my install now. Settings - "Movement Parameters" section - "Heading if Gimbal Yaw Enabled" (last one in that section) Change it from "Match Flight Direction" to "Match Gimbal Direction" Makes sense in a complicated way. :) Since this...

    Autopilot 4.1 - Path Inspector

    So for what it's worth, I just noticed that if I turn on previous and next interpolation when the next focus trigger is a direction trigger not a POI trigger, that I lose the green line, although the preview does still show the bird yawing to focus a bit, though much less pronounced. When...

    Autopilot 4.1 - Path Inspector

    Oh, I never noticed that there is a share option on flight plans! I'm sending you a link to my working waypoint mission, according to the docs you should be able to click the link and download a copy of the flight plan to your device. Besides being just really cool (there's collaboration mode...

    2 Autopilots + Airspace + Follow Mode = Awesome

    Hah, I'll let him known :) Hmm I think the laggy/choppy is just an artifact from the screen recording. The raw video isn't like that. First time I ever did a screen recording.

    Autopilot 4.1 - Path Inspector

    I'm off with support .... now to see if the mystery email he claims he sent ever shows up. But way way way past my bedtime. Good luck figuring it out! I hope it turns out to be something simple. :)
