    Do you have to join an AMA to use the fields located on AirMaps?

    I looked, cant seem to find any drone clubs in LA. The few MeetUps I found were inactive for years.

    I am totally afraid of getting my drone stuck in a tree. I bet there are a lot of clever ways to get them out. How long of a poll did you have to make? What did you do at the end to catch it?

    Is it legal to launch a drone from a city sidewalk in LA?

    "The reason for this is that drugs and other disallowed items are flown into correctional facilities via drones. I have a patent for "Detection and interdiction of drones with respect to controlled-environment facilities" Yeah, I get it, don't have a problem with that, it just caught be by...

    3 Has anyone tried to make these manually? (Sphere Earth Shots)

    Yep, I posted a link above, you can still get Autopano at vearious other sources. I wonder why they killed it? Is that why they bought it to kill the competition?

    Palm Springs, Indian Wells vicinity

    Joshua Tree is a good place, but it's a national park so it's off limits. But plenty of space near by with similar land elements.

    Mountain made of Marble by Drone :

    I have seen several videos of that quarry, one with a guy missing a few fingers! I want to go there now, it's quite unique and the marble is ultra premium. I guess because it's so pure white with just hints of veining.

    "It doesn't shoot 4k. 1080p only for asteroid and several other shots alot" Actually if the Mini 2 does. The catch is when you switch to 360 sphere mode, you have to change the setting to 4K. You cant change them until you are in that mode and in the air even if you changed them to 4K for...

    Drone for 5 year old son, too young?

    Well, can he pass the TRUST test at that age? 😂 Seriously I think it's to young and too much money. Maybe start with ground non motorized vehicles first like a bike or skates. If he can't handle those, should he really be flying things in the air that could hurt people, animals, cause...

    Drone CRASHED in Amusement Park - Park decided not to help out Josh

    " if a full size helicopter made an emergency landing on the property, can the park refused to return the helicopter to the rightful owner." That's true, but not the best analogy that guy made in the video because he tied it to damage to the lawn or trees or something. A better example would...

    Drone CRASHED in Amusement Park - Park decided not to help out Josh

    It's illegal to shoot someone just for trespassing, people that do that or think they have the right to do that are the stupid ones. You only have that right in they are breaking into your house or you fear your life is in eminate danger, not just because you want them off your propery. You...

    APG Kolor Autopano Giga is the only desktop app I have found that can automatically stitch 360 spherical without pinching the bottom where so many of them give you that pinched cat butt nadir. You still have to add the sky in Photoshop but it does everything else in one click, And it works with...

    Do you have to join an AMA to use the fields located on AirMaps?

    Well I don't really want to fly in an AMA field, in my neck of the woods which is in a big city it's often the only option. The one I linked above is the ONLY place that city will let you operate a drone and it's right in front of their city hall which looks like a mobile home in one of the...
