    Night traffic photos

    I would think the shot would benefit from very little wind as well. Don't even bother if it's blowing.

    First interaction with the police

    Those are valid points and I respect your point of view. However, most of the national parks I've visited are massive and have plenty of places that drones could be operated safely, non-nuisancely (I just made that word up), and most importantly, promote the very thing that got the national...

    First interaction with the police

    i thought you were saying buzzing around people would be the nuisance, which is already illegal just like drinking and driving. So yes, the argument holds up and you're basically saying that because the existing law won't stop people from doing it (just like alcohol), then we just completely...

    First interaction with the police

    In addition to Harley's, dogs and screaming children, while visiting a national park, I "could" be creepy and take pictures of the hot women walking around in skin tight yoga pants - ban all cameras. My car "could" catch fire (like many do on the highway) causing damage to a protected area -...

    First interaction with the police

    I can't imagine the problems that would arise if they legalized alcohol. People would be driving around under the influence and killing other people with their cars. Oh wait. Never mind. Good thing drones are getting banned and keeping people safe.

    First interaction with the police

    Actually, I have been to a national park lately - hence my OP. There wasn't a human within sight where I was flying. There goes that theory. There's already laws in place that cover flying over people. So in this case, "my rights end several miles from where your nose begins".

    First interaction with the police

    LOL! I'm a 48 year old millennial. It's more about, I've been around long enough to start really being annoyed by people trying to control every aspect of my life. It's my planet too (well, at least since I moved here from my home planet). I think an idea would be to have a section of the...

    First interaction with the police

    Who's decision is it that their enjoyment overrules mine? I paid the same fee to get in. You can't even say majority rules, because when it comes to being offended, the minority wins in every case in this country.

    First interaction with the police

    I got to visit a location on my bucket list. I won't mention the name but lets just say it rhymes with Blocky Fountain National park. I know full well that I can't fly in a nat park. So I waited until we left the gates and drove for about a mile and pulled over. Still beautiful scenery, so...

    Just joined the drifting club

    It's really hard to say. The weather has been so sucky here. I haven't flown in the last 2 weeks because it's either raining or stupid high winds. I've flown maybe once in the last month. .0700 seemed to fix things, and now I've updated to .0800 and .0900 and haven't flown either of them...

    BIRD REPELLENT FOR DRONES

    I went with this skin. I've had it for about a month and haven't seen a bird come anywhere near the drone. They are still around, but have not buzzed it like before.

    So when is the new app update coming?

    Did the update and logged in. No difference - including the constant android app crashing. Flew 3 batteries with Litchi and not a single app crash. Can't even make it 5 minutes in go4 (new or old version) without it freezing and then just shutting down. If Litchi ever gets tripod mode, I'll...

    Trump wants to track-hack-seize-destroy drones!!!

    Yet another "headline" that blows everything out of proportion. I'm not doing anything illegal or stupid with my drone so I'm just fine with it. If some jackass terrorist has strapped a bomb to one and fly it towards a crowd, I'm all for someone being able to stop it before it hurts someone...

    .700 is here "The-f-word" There is new firmware once again!

    Version .0600 fixed the incompatibility with Litchi, but seems to have borked other things. As for Android, I have yet to have a version that doesn't crash constantly for go4. No, Litchi does not have tripod or fixed wing modes which is why I still use go4 for those. I've lost confidence...

    .700 is here "The-f-word" There is new firmware once again!

    I'll try that tomorrow. Thanks!
