I've repeatedly raised the issue with Shenzen and California DJI to upgrade FW so that font size for various on screen tools and messages could be variable...as most other laptops, tablets, computers permit in the known world. The font size is simply untenable in some situations and a safety...

what are the dimensions. many document fire boxes are 12x15X10" or other variations with interior padding: Why need add'l ceramic fiber insulation? Fireproof and water-resistant: Fireproof lock box is made of double layered non-itchy silicone coated fiberglass which stands up the temperature up...

On July 7th the NYPD held a hearing regarding changes in the regulations towards the goal of providing "permitted" drone flights within NYC. The hearing was a chance for stake holders in the NYC drone community to voice their views in person and on line regarding suggested "rules" the NYPD...

I was flying Mavic 3 Classic last week near a railroad lift bridge in the Bronx. A bird I later identified as a "Swift" circled around the drone and I thought, ok. his curiosity was done. He then returned and hit the drone. It wobbled in the air, chipped one propeller. Later discovered that...

Any success in improving the range on the Inspire2 with Cendence and Crystal Sky. Flying yesterday at 175 feet agl, no trees, open space and had "SIGNAL WEAK " message at under 900 feet distance.

I successfully installed the ATTI hack as a substitute for Sport Mode in my Mavic 2. I may have to search for where i found it. It is very detailed and you MUST proceed slowly and carefully because you are changing the programming configuration. I found it very painstaking...and the...

Caro Roberto: Brilhante vídeo de Kiran Marmara com MP3Pro. Simplesmente me surpreendeu e todo o meu trabalho é marítimo no Porto de NY/NJ. A maior parte do meu trabalho é em helicópteros tripulados por causa das dificuldades de permissão para pilotar drones, mas eu uso drones ocasionalmente...

Fact remains that many countries are in a state of flux. They all have Civil Aviation departments. Most follow the general rules of the US...some countries don't even permit drones being brought in until recently. Each Caribbean nation has its own rules. Tahiti may require Part 107. But there...

Multiple matts are available...from a flooring store, rubber samples, tho often heavy, Yoga Mats are light & designed to roll up with 1/2" thick for cushioning. Instead of metal spikes, use plastic tent pegs with grommets attached to any matt...with duck tape. at any camping store. Avoid...

I bought the Mavic3 Classic and ala carte bought the RC PRO. The RCPRO makes life easier and it simply is more powerful it seems. No hiccups with using it for Mavic Classic. I was able to buy the Mavic Classic without the "standard RC."
