    Is the RC Pro Worth the Extra $900?

    I'm about to upgrade to the MP3 Pro and am trying to decide if I will really benefit from the RC Pro over the Standard RC. Anyone have experience with both for comparison?

    Is the Mavic Pro 1 Capable of Remote ID Compliance?

    Glad I haven't bought one.

    Will DJI allow drones that are not Remote ID Compliant to take off?

    This thought popped in my head yesterday that it is possible that DJI could prevent me from taking off if my Mavic Pro has not been made remote ID compliant by the deadline. They could basically make the whole US a NFZ. Anyone want to speculate on how likely that is? I suspect DJI RID modules...

    Is the Mavic Pro 1 Capable of Remote ID Compliance?

    Does anyone with above average technical knowledge of the innards of a Mavic Pro believe the drone is capable of remote ID compliance if DJI decides to do a firmware upgrade? I own 3 of them and 10 batteries and am wondering if I should move on sooner than later. Same question goes for the Mavic...

    Remote ID function for FAA

    Can you explain the difference you mention about the Platinum vs. standard MP1? What exactly is spotty? I have 3 MP1 drones and am still hopeful they will make them RID compliant, but at the very least I could pick up a platinum and still be able to use my 10 batteries and controllers.

    Let's discuss frame rates and shutter speed

    I’ve been curious about this as well. I normally shoot 4K 30fps at 100 ISO with a shutter speed of 60. I’ve been curious if multiples of 60 (120, 240 etc.) would result in the same effect. I guess I should set up a Litchi mission and test. When I shoot b-roll for others they almost always want...

    Will iPad Mini 5 Fit Mavic Pro 1 Controller?

    Thanks. I went ahead and bought it. $175 for a 64gig Wi-Fi unit. Best deal I e seen locally.

    Any reasons to keep my Mavic Pro? (Upgraded to Mini 3 Pro)

    Craigslist and Facebook Marketplace have been good for me. I have a saved search on Craigslist for a few things I “collect”. The last MP1 I bought was $250 with the broken ribbon cable. I too like to have a backup or two.

    Any reasons to keep my Mavic Pro? (Upgraded to Mini 3 Pro)

    I just bought my third MP1 for $50 with 4 batteries. It had a shattered lens (cover) which I simply removed and put an ND filter on to protect the camera. One of the others had a bad gimbal ribbon cable and the third one was said to be unable to connect to the remote, but it has never not...

    Will iPad Mini 5 Fit Mavic Pro 1 Controller?

    I’m considering buying a used iPad mini 5 to replace the iPad mini 2 I currently use with my Mavic Pro 1. I like how the Mini 2 fits into the controller and want to know if the Mini 5 will fit. It appears it is 3.3mm bigger in the long dimension, so I wanted to see if anyone has tried a Mini 5...

    Insurance Question

    This is a separate business, but I plan to inquire with my agent.

    Insurance Question

    I have a business partner and yes, we can add drone work to the company, but real estate work is not lucrative enough for me to bring it in-house. I would fly for the right project within the company, but most of what I think is out there is really small jobs. We do medical education video and...

    Insurance Question

    I've been assuming I would have "Drone Insurance" like Skywatch, but I guess I'm wondering if that is enough? Do I need General Liability with Errors and Omissions coverage? My plan is to shoot real estate photography and maybe an occasional video project for another company that doesn't have a...

    Insurance Question

    In the process of setting up an LLC for my drone business. Planning to have drone insurance, but also wondering if I need any other type of liability insurance for the business. I own a marketing firm and we have all sorts of insurance policies, but I'm hoping to keep things fairly simple for...
