    Update your Adobe software or else!!!!

    I agree and hate being forced into the subscription model. I have found suitable replacements for some Adobe products (currently using DaVinci Resolve for video, Affinity Designer for vector art, etc.) but I have yet to find suitable replacements for Photoshop or Lightroom. They are both just...

    Weapons makers declare war on Drones- From today's WSJ

    Technology is evolving a little faster than you may be aware. I mean if they can shoot individual mosquitos with lasers I'm pretty sure MP2s wouldn't be much of a challenge :-)

    The future of the recreational sUAS

    The purpose of this post is not to start a flame war between the "drone police" and those who complain about the "drone police". I would just like to see a civil conversation regarding the changes that are all but certain to come to recreational drone operations. I chose this forum because many...

    Drowned Mavic Flies Again!

    Yeah, I'm pretty certain salt water would have killed it between corrosion and shorts due to conductivity. Unless you can open it up and flush it with fresh water immediately, but even then, it would probably have serious damage. Even with the fresh water, I was surprised not to get any errors...

    Drowned Mavic Flies Again!

    So last week I was at the lake and was videoing some friends wakefoiling behind a jet ski. We were a rider short - I would usually have someone spotting when doing this but I figured "what could possibly go wrong?". I was port side, flying sideways. We were the only people in the area and I was...

    Who Regularly Checks NOTAMS?

    It depends on what I'm doing but I do regularly check them. If I'm flying under part 107 I always check. Awareness is never a bad thing even if the chances of a NOTAM affecting my plans are slim. That said, most people in this group probably had to Google NOTAM. I do believe that hobby flying...

    Does anyone wish they didn't buy the "fly more" bundle?

    I have the same case and did the same thing. Priced the flymore accessories seperately and youre not really saving anything, especially if you want a better case anyway.

    Missing Flight Log

    Thanks for the idea but I have around 40 GB free on the phone and even more available on the SD card in the phone, though I don't think the app can be set to cache to the SD card. It did happen again last night. I flew for around 15 minutes, the app did crash mid-flight but I was able to get it...

    Missing Flight Log

    Well, I changed my mind and went out for a quick hover. This time the flight log is there. Still no sign of the last one though and I have a 15 minute video so I'm sure I didn't imagine it

    Missing Flight Log

    I've seen a few posts with people talking about incorrect cumulative hours, etc. but I just flew for 15 minutes, got video of the whole 15 minutes cached, but there is no record of the flight under my flight logs. I just got the Mavic this past week and this was the 7th flight - the only one...

    Hello from Southwest Virginia!

    I just received my Mavic a few days ago. I've been flying Phantoms for several years now and I'm loving the Mavic so far. I'm a hobbyist but got my 107 last year just in case an opportunity arises. Looking forward to some great tips and bad advice! ;-)
