"... Fair point, but about five years too late - that horse is a dot on the horizon, so locking the stable door and having the groom police the yard is a redundant action. Decisions have already been made - being watchful and informing on 'malfeasants' won't make a jot of difference.

"Anti authority attitude"... is that like "Attention Deficit Disorder"?... a load of psycho-babble aimed at anyone who is "habitually naughty" or refuses to comply? Apart from the convenient pigeonholing: the first term applies to rogue pilots of proper aircraft - not people who put drones up in...

Used Mavic 2's since 2019. The original controller you put your phone in is the RC1-A or RC1-B. The RM500 is the only 'smart' controller that will work with the mav 2. It has the built-in screen.

The original DJI smart controller - the RM500.

Unfair to the average Facebook user? Clearly you and I have different experiences of 'social media' platforms. Referring to the Facebook "...parks & rec..." group who were.... erm... very enthusiastic about the parade footage - they will be the first to find a nice large bus to throw him under...

Let's see if I've got a peg on this. You're pissed that this individual flouts the rules you choose to abide by and gets lauded for it. That says more about the Facebook (etc) donkeys that post the 'likes' and 'thumbs-ups', which will only encourage further bone-headed decisions: painting him...

Both of us already know that the video output that comes straight out of both types of drone is fantastic quality, same goes for knowing it's best to use smaller drones for the tight spaces and up-close-and-personal shots. What it boils down to is client expectation and perception. Certain...

I think the one of the problems you might encounter will revolve around real estate 'clients' seeing a mini drone and sneering at it as not fitting in with their idea of a 'professional' drone (not anything new... quite a few posts detailing this over the last few years). Also: you'll probably...

I think that's the real ongoing problem for a lot of people... this ‘Fixed certain issues and optimized overall app quality’ nonsense. DJI really needs to state exactly what the 'issue' was and what's been 'fixed'. Too much of this generic obfuscation going on.

I'm watching your escalating problem(s) with horror and I genuinely hope that all this Federal flailing around to destroy the domestic American marketplace for DJI and Autel drones does lose traction and peter out. Best wishes.

"...and the price is similar to something like a Skydio X10...". OUCH! Not in any way affordable to the average Joe then. We've been spoiled for the last 8 years - DJI and Autel pricing their kit at a level that gives pretty much anyone the opportunity to build a career as a professional...

Try tapping it to see if anything pops up.

I'll be interested to read any drone-use reviews too... Been considering these type of glasses for a couple of years now and this is the first model I've seen that is priced at a level that's worth a punt.

...perhaps... But I'm pretty sure the word 'peaceful' didn't feature in the effort.

"...Finally made a drone that actually competes..." Parrot was the first to release a consumer class drone with a 1" sensor (Anafi), beating DJI to the draw - as well as a drone that was capable of a full 180 degree camera pitch - zenith to nadir (Anafi again). At one point Parrot, like Autel...
