    Holiday Train filmed with M2P in Rochester, MN. *month late, sorry

    Great video. I have a nearby busy railway but no snow! I hope to compile some picturesque train drone videos to show the skirting of the harbour and estuaries by the trains, you've inspired me. Thanks.

    DJI getting out of the consumer drone business?

    Let's not give fake news like this any oxygen. There's better speculative discussions to be had on, for example, how regulations may affect our ability to fly our drone in various environments, liability issues etc.

    Why In The World Did You Get A Drone?

    Mavic 2 Zoom (first real drone) Flying 8 months 107 - when I feel I'm ready to shoot in heavily populated and restrictive areas I've been in video and TV production since the 80s and more and more, drone footage became "the money shot". When the opportunity to shoot a TV documentary series that...

    DJI Smart Controller... prices just jacked up by $100(@$749) INSANE

    It's not about DJI it's that China is now facing tariffs in retaliation for it's own trade practices. In spite of increase DJI will continue to be the leader in "consumer" drone products at incredible price:performance ratios. You can argue for or against the new tariffs but it's going to be a...

    Mavic completely lost connection right after warranty, GONE.

    Would obstacle avoidance detect a white-out snow covered mountain? I would have thought it would fit into the same category as drones flying low over water which struggle to detect distance.

    NBC News - Drone “threat” -- *Media Hype*

    I think Healthy discussion free of ridicule is worth protecting on this topic. We must all surely be aware that misuse of remote controlled copters has the potential to result in draconian regulations - in other words, a few will spoil it for the majority. Our hobby/professional activity needs...

    Hi From New Zealand

    Just bought my first drone - a Mavic 2 Zoom for my media production business. Flying is all new, shooting video not, having been in business since 1989, but it’s a whole amazing new perspective on the world. I’m really excited but will be tapping into the knowledge and experience here to reduce...

    I was arrested for flying a drone *updated with video*

    “Being handcuffed and placed in the back of a patrol car is not "winning". Now the paradign has shifted from enforcement, to justification. The officer must now legal justify what he's done, making it difficult (-if not impossible) to go back to the discussion stage. The same with the legal...
