I was at a high school soccer game last year and a parent had a drone up. I thought it was cool and unique. You couldn't hear it (it was a Phantom), but they kept it over the stands at the end of the field where few if anyone sat. Nobody complained that I know of and everyone who noticed it...

Do you get points for selling your service? Have you read the privacy policy from that site? Yeah, no thanks. All of a members data to that site is going to be soaked up by Google Analytics. Ha, F that. If a product is free, "YOU" are the product. Airdata UAV - Flight Data Analysis for Drones

This is completely false. Telescopes and binoculars will not sustain any type of damage at all if pointed at the sun during an eclipse or any other day. LOOKING THROUGH a telescope or binocular during a solar eclipse or any other day for long term duration will damage your eyeballs, but will...

When you sent yours in, did you ask to have yours returned specifically? Maybe they "opt in" everyone for a referb unit ya know for the damned if you do, damned if you don't crowd. People want to get back in the air. A referbed unit is just as rigorously tested as your original would be, or...

Are you going to fly it to the west coast?

Surprised how well it worked. Started it, put the controller down and buzzed around the lake. Set it to track the tube and not the boat. I was surprised that a couple times it didn't confuse the two or go with the bigger target. Not sure why it lost contact at about 5:30, but the unit just...

Your Mavic will RTH, and hover if the landing isn't suitable to its sensors. If you do nothing, it will eventually land on its own when battery is around 6%. As far as the wheat being a visual by being knocked all over from the mavic, hardly. The unit is tiny, and damage to the wheat will...

Can you cite that law? Or is this an opinion from the FAA? I keep seeing this put up, but nobody can show the statute that specifically forbids this. Thanks

I actually went to the cops when they were on the way. I gave dispatch a description, and where they were hiding on the roof. She asked how I knew where they were, and I said I'm looking at them with my drone. When I made contact with the police, I walked over with the controller still...

WTH? RIF! (Reading is fundamental) Trespass warning.....its in the title. That means what the kids were doing was ILLEGAL. "Sealed off construction area"... that means they were where they (children) were not supposed to be, (as in a sealed off construction area). Its summer here...

Ha, Ha, flying the Mavic, when I flew over the middle school and saw 3 kids in the sealed off construction area. Dropped in lower and they start throwing stuff at the drone. They run and climb onto the roof to throw more stuff at the drone. Well, I got pissed they kept trying to knock the bird...

Probably use it once

A manufacture blocking me and limiting what I want to do isn't right. If DJI wants to be a law enforcement officer, then they should be that. If they want to limit things, then I hope the "hacker" world will start to "jailbreak" drones and the controllers. I don't mind them giving me a...

The Guardian, ha! What don't they complain about?
