Glad to hear it. There's enough danger for the firefighters, planes, and smoke jumpers without having to worry about a drone in their path. There have been instances when firefighting aircraft all were grounded and couldn't fight the fire because of idiots flying drones. Fire areas are...

Stunning video. Unfortunately, the Matterhorn, as with many high mountains, is experiencing record snow and glacial melt.

I've been a PC and Android guy from the start for all the reasons already stated. I finally learned my way around the Apple ecosystem dealing with my wife's MacBook Pro. Although I still find it hard to use if you don't want things just as Apple wishes, the hardware is first class. However...

If your Refresh is still active, then you can purchase the extension on that page you mentioned. However, if it's expired, you will not be allowed to complete the purchase without a verification video. Go to the DJI Support Facebook page, and use messenger to contact them. You'll get links to...

I just went through the same video verification procedure. They only ask for 120M height and 200M distance, so that's within the legal limits. BTW, I had my wife take the video while I flew the bird. In any case, I think $79 for an additional year of general warranty and crash insurance is a...

... One thing to keep in mind is that drones are so prevalent that many photographers doing real estate have them now as well... I have not seen any listings with videos, but most I see do have areal shot of the home/property. ... Another problem is that many realtors now just figure they'll...

I just did the same. When the iPad mini 4 128gb was on sale at BB for $269, I decided it was time. The mini does perform flawlessly.

Basically what they've done is to put winglets on the tips of the props. This is a well established method of reducing noise and turbulance by stopping the vortexes that form at the point where the speed of the greatest. It will be interesting to get some first hand reports on the difference.

It's also worth keeping in mind that near full depletion of batteries will shorten their usable life. I'm with others here that 20-22 minutes is plenty if there's no emergency pushing you to squeeze the battery harder.

Just a question and a comment. First, with the limit you mention, are you certain you're not in beginner mode? Second, the warning and boxes you can check only appear when you start flying in a yellow zone. I live within two miles of an uncontrolled airport and can fly however I wish, but the...

If you believe any of this, you better get your tin foil hat on and keep it on. It doesn't get any nuttier than this. InfoWars, anti vaccers, and flat earthers know you can't be believing that science crap.

I'm happy to hear they found the guy and are prosecuting him. If our hobby is to survive, we can't have this crap happening without severe consequences.

I'll second TreyBoz’s comment. As with most forums the complaints, problems, and conspiracies theories are disproportional by an order of magnitude to the overall experience. The Mavic is incredibly easy to fly. As you start getting more confident, you'll have some interesting explained, but if...

Great primer. Thanks
