    2 men facing Federal Charges for stadium flyover

    No, such systems are not illegal if used for public safety. And there are multiple systems that just send the offending drone on a Return to Home/lost link flight profile - not drop it out of the sky.

    2 men facing Federal Charges for stadium flyover

    No it's not illegal. Law enforcement organizations use them and other similar systems along with NFL security. Guess MLB doesn't though.

    2 men facing Federal Charges for stadium flyover

    Was at the game, and my son & I spotted it early on: it came into the area behind center field and flew/hovered at various points over the outfield stands for about 5-10 minutes before rapidly flying to where it came from, like Sport Mode fast. I thought the authorities had sent it on a Return...

    Air 2 Plane(s) I always get a kick out things like this in Panoramas

    Taken northeast of Houston, under the approach path to Bush Intercontinental Airport (IAH), correct? (Grew up in SE Texas, and have flown into there too many times to count, so I recognized the skyline and flat terrain.) I would say the "2" planes to the upper right were actually the same...

    3 Memorial Day 2022

    During my last overseas deployment (25 years & counting in the US Navy), I had the honor of touring the D-Day battle sites in the Normandy area of France over the July 4th holiday in 2019. Among the many moving locations was the American Cemetery at Colleville-sur-Mer above Omaha Beach, where...

    Visiting San Diego for the next couple of weeks. Can someone point me to good sites to fly and those that are off limits?

    Check out anywhere along the coast north from Mission Bay to La Jolla to Del Mar and Solana Beach. There is also a stretch of the Sunset Cliffs area to Ocean Beach that you can fly at and below 50 ft: see the restrictions noted in Aloft.

    Pro 3 vs Evo Pro II

    I would recommend you post your question on the Autel Pilots forum, where there are more folks that have actual experience with both te EVO 2 series AND DJI quads, so you get more than hearsay or rumor (i.e. - "I've heard... or read", etc.) Personally, I have flown DJI P4 and P4 Pro V2s, MPPs...

    Air 2s Exactly how do you shoot the Moon ?

    Saw the same thing this week, as seen in the attached photos (was using my E2P with its 1" sensor). The one with the moon was way over exposed even with the moon near the horizon, while the 2 in the direction opposite the moon captured much more detail of both the landscape & horizon, and the...

    Hello - Saw that you are in Ventura: while I live in San Diego, I am a CDR in the Navy Reserves...

    Hello - Saw that you are in Ventura: while I live in San Diego, I am a CDR in the Navy Reserves and in charge of a sUAS unit up there at Naval Base Ventura County (both at Pt Mugu and Port Hueneme). Do you have any recommended flight areas for our new quadcopter pilots to fly there nearby...

    Reputable DJI dronedealers/sales in Las Vegas?

    Sonic - while they aren't "in Las Vegas", Advexure.com is right down the way in Los Angeles and even better, they are both online (Advexure | Drone Systems & Unmanned Solutions) AND a contributing member & vender on this and the Autel Pilots forum! They have both a service department and tech...

    HOLY CAMOLY!!! I can see clearly now!

    I have a native orange Autel EVO 2 Protect is very easy to see in flight, far more than my Mini 2 and the MPPs nand MA1 that I have flown previously. Will definitely have to look at skinning my MA2 that is on the way.
