Check out the youtuber NeverMindYourOwn. He got a warning while fine flying in the national park and then the spanish government hunted him down and sent a fine after he posted his videos. They can be quite strict. He goes over his experience on Tenerife in a few videos.

If you hotspot a wifi only ipad to an iphone, the Apple AirLocation service will pass the iphone GPS data to the ipad. At least that was the case for the early ipads. I have a cellular ipad mini 4, so I can't test it.

Label maker works wonders. I've got my info on the arms, the bottom, and in the battery compartment. For reward call ...

I live in the boonies, so I haven't seen any TFRs go active when I fly, or if they are on the DJI maps in DJI go or not. Wondering if we have some members who can see if TFR are in DJI go when they fly or not.

One item that it would be nice to have some input from the members is on whether or not anyone has seen a TFR enforced via GEO. For example, most stadiums are not NFZ normally, but the FAA issues TFR around game times. Another example is VIP (presidential) TFR that extend for 35 miles outside...

I like that you can see a low battery phantom coming down through your shot at 2:35.

I think you're looking for the "dronie" flight mode that DJI put on the spark. It's not a mode available on the Mavic. Maybe they'll add it, maybe they won't.

Yeah, the 7728 ones are for use with the propeller cage

Do you live in Hungary? I'm going there in a month. How are the rules there?

There is forward looking obstacle avoidance, and a lot of times it keeps the Mavic going slower so it can process the imagery to determine if it is going to run into something or not. If you flying somewhere without high contrast background it can slow it down a lot. If you are confident that...

It's also a possibility that a TFR (temporary flight restriction) can be posted in your area that comes into effect while you are flying. These are posted and scheduled 5 mile NFZ for sports matches at stadiums, and larger 30 mile VIP TFR for presidential travel.

All jails and prisons are already blocked off as NFZ in DJI's GEO system for the US.

The reason that you lose signal once landing on the ground is because of fresnel zone obstruction. The fresnel zone in a wireless signal extends all around the direct line of site between a transmitter and receiver. Obstruction of the fresnel zone of more than 30-40% will start to cause signal...
