    Problem with unlocked custom zone

    Buy Nolimitdronez.com and stop geofencing altogether and fly at will.

    What Would You Do?

    I will challenge your thoughts here. What damage was done with the video, flying in the area of the elks which appeared to have no-reaction to the overflying drone? I would very much like to see the government allowing access to the National Park System. The park system belongs to everyone, not...

    What Would You Do?

    Perhaps we are being too permissive in allowing the public to get close to this habitat. That could very well be the case as you can see a well traveled road in the video. If the Elk were to charge a car and cause damage, are we endangering both the public and the wildlife? Where do we draw the...

    Battery went from 100% to critically low after few seconds of flying.

    What after-market brand did you get from Amazon? I've used the Kunlun and Powerextra brands and they have given me the same kind of performance as the DJI batteries at a much cheaper price. For people to say ditch everything but DJI is a bit of an overreaction. I know DJI doesn't make their own...

    Which GPS Location Controls Restricted Area? Drone or Mobile Device?

    My error, after looking at the table I see your issue if you are on 02.04.1640. These guys are out of England and are always updating their product. You might send them an email and ask when they might be able to help you out. They are very friendly with their customers.

    Which GPS Location Controls Restricted Area? Drone or Mobile Device?

    I personally have the Mavic Pro, however the Mavic Air 2 and 2S can be modified to fly anywhere.

    What's up fellow pilots. Coming to you from Compton, Cali

    Are you near the Compton airport? I used to live across the street when I was a kid some 62 years ago.

    Inches From Disaster

    With the attitudes express toward you, it's amazing we had people willing to put step on top of a rocket and go to the moon, for fear it wasn't safe. Or like the Wright Brothers climbing aboard the first airplane and any other sort of dangerous experiment. With excitement comes danger and the...

    Where do you draw the line from recreational pilot to part 107?

    So, in your opinion, everything is Part 107 because everyone should be. I call bogus!! If I want to see my roof because I suspect a nest of bee's have infested my attic, you're saying I must have Part 107 because I've avoided paying a bee keeper and have financially benefited? Get real! Best to...

    Mini 3 Martian Landscape, Utah Desert Adventure

    Incredibly well done video incorporated still shots with drone footage, well narrated and enhanced graphics (wish I could do that). Overall, super video!!

    Flying Over Parks

    Absolutely correct. Once you get over 200', people aren't going to see your drone unless people are looking into the air for it. Use your common sense and most times you will be ok.

    Drones on Cruise Ships - What you need to know

    Nice Shot!! You make a lot of common sense. Simply keep it inside a case until you get off the ship and then follow the regulations while on shore. Why ask for trouble? Since we all know the ships are paranoid about flying while onboard, don't do it. And, like you said, if it takes an hour to...

    Stupid ideas I sometimes get, but would never follow up on. :)

    Those kites require a lot of pulling, so I don't think the drone has the stamina for it.
