    2024 updates on So California Beaches

    Do the hokey pokey and turn yourself around!!! The Naval Weapons station is on the south side of Seal Beach in Anaheim Bay, the north side is the San Gabriel river and entrance to the Long Beach marina. Try it, you might like it.

    "Credible Threat" Prompts Drone Ban in Chicago.

    You would think Californians could escape TFR's while in populated area by driving out to the desert and flying. Now, there are TFR's out there. Pretty soon, if we keep quiet, our hobby will be gone with no where left to fly.

    2024 updates on So California Beaches

    Northern Seal Beach is the breakwater and inlet to the Long Beach harbor. It's fun to following boats in and out of the harbor and you can often times see surfers. I guess if you look to find someone who doesn't want you to fly, you will find them. I've never been hassled. Stay at higher...

    Best and worst aspects of drone flying

    I agree whole heartedly. The parks are for everyone's enjoyment and the slight noise a drone puts out is negligible. Regulators don't even try to accomodate drones and it's very unfair. Remember these lands are for the enjoyment of everyone, including drone pilots.

    Altitude Hard-Coded Limit - Any mod to increase it?

    NoLImitDrones does remove limitations via software and they are out of England. They are usually about 2 years behind on getting to the newer drones, so you have to check with them. NoLimitDronez.com

    How flying a drone led to an arrest....

    He told you why in the video. He fought to preserve his rights granted to him under the constitution and is a proud veteran willing to stand up for those rights. He also stated he was observing the law when told to land as the TFR took affect. These clowns are campus police who know little, if...

    How flying a drone led to an arrest....

    It sounds like you have never served your country in the military which gives every citizen the rights guaranteed in the constitution. By bowing to authority which is unjustified, you're giving up your rights. He was challenging the police because he knew his rights.

    Blurry footage when turning.

    The say the video was shot in 4K but it didn't look like it here. The images never snapped to sharpness like most 4K video.

    Batteries slightly swelling after flight...cause of concern?

    Personal experience. I had a Mavic Pro that I flew for 7 years and was proud I never crashed it. I was noticing some swelling, but didn't retire them. Flying in a park close by and suddenly the drone dropped out of the sky. The swelling got bad enough that it forced the clips holding the battery...

    Flying in Anaheim

    A cute slogan, but better referred to as "the land of lines" where you spend most of your time waiting in line for the ride you want.

    Flying in Anaheim

    You're right, you can't fly within 5 miles of Disneyland and it shouldn't be called temporary, because it isn't. Anaheim PD drones do have a waiver to fly over.

    2024 updates on So California Beaches

    I've never been hassled at any OC beaches, but if you're worried stay above 200' and don't be a nuisance.
