Interesting thread. Just an example we were contacted to provide drone coverage and assistance to a rural community Sheriffs Office for a protest. The agency had just been granted their COA and they were at least given a heads up to the protest which did take place. Some steps that were taken...

I have had the same thing and it started after the last firmware update.

I have had the same issue since the update, might be a bug in the software update.

We have set up a 24" monitor in a pelican case with HDMI wireless link which is nice but, has also some video lag. You can also go with a direct connection with the use of Smart Controller HDMI out to HDMI in or TV/Monitor. You also have the option to screencast via app as mentioned above or...

We have been on a job in NY and winds have gusted between 18-42. The M2ED was fine in upper 25 and 30, I personally do not like to push it. We are also fighting snow and wet conditions the drone performed well in 18 to 32 winds anything over 32 gusting to 44 at one point would push the drone...

Thank you, riders and the horses were safety concerns which is why we chose to first have the riders dismounted and then fly near the horses for reaction. I do agree with you as you can have a greatly trained horse and a rider can cause that horse to react in manners it would normally not.

By the way that is an awesome shot

I agree but, how have you approached the interaction working with a production crew?

That is a great idea and something we did not think about

Thank you...yes we have a dog at one of the vineyards we do mapping for and we have to watch him as he tries to play catch the drone on launch and recovery.

Great info, as per the hawk that was a concern for us at there is a paired set near the farm we flew and not knowing if the hawks would try to defend territory it was just interesting to me the animal behavior both farm and natural wildlife.

That is what we noticed with the horses was at about 25ft they would start move ears and head was well as shifted body posture and the most significant reason I wanted riders dismounted as we checked noise sensitivity. We were running the 8231 low noise propellers but, I am on the hunt for lower...

That is good, we had not flown this type of request before. As we stated on the document when doing our pre-flight planning did not see or find information so, figured we would share for someone else to taken into consideration of what we did or how someone might do the mission differently.

Thank you, good to know we went down to about 10ft with the cows on this particular farm just to check sensitivity due mainly to the Producer wanting to capture certain shots. and I wanted to make sure we were not going to stress animals or potentially have more inherent safety issues. But...

That is good to know, when we were pre-flight planning I did not find much information around the topic so, I just thought we would share as to how we approached the drone mission.
