I'm glad to hear you had a positive experience with a LEO especially when it was an honest mistake, The East Gate to Yellowstone is similar in that it is within the actual park boundaries. There are more good LEOs out there than most people would care to believe, especially if your immediate...

Unfold first, it's smoother at initial startup and allows for a final inspection of the props before launch.

IIRC there is an online service that you basically go on and say that you will be filming from (for example) 2-4PM on Tuesday and you pay by the hour. It's liability insurance to cover things like your drone crashing into something or causing a personal injury. EDIT: What mw174620 said.

While I completely understand having property/liability insurance in case the **** thing falls on someone's car or injures them personally I don't get insuring something that would cost about $750USD to replace. The way insurance rates go that little claim will make you a risk which raises...

Actually if you agreed to the Terms and Conditions you already did.

Whether you realized it or not if you're on 800 you've updated since you got it. 800 was a recent update.

Link to Specific Location: Google Maps Google maps is actually pretty good for looking up Wildlife Preserves

Being a person that spends a lot of time outside I'm pretty conscientious about disturbing others while I'm out hiking. We were in a pretty remote National Forest area with no one around and I can tell you that at 300' AGL you could still hear the Mavic pretty clearly when there isn't any white...

An airplane isn't flying low altitude over these places like a drone would be, also "National Wildlife Area" = Federal. EDIT: missed the "or" in the first line.

You're right, I was thinking of the cache notification that I've gotten many times.

I believe the cache size is limited and you either have the option to manually delete or set it so that once it hits a certain size it starts automatically deleting older files.

This thread is a perfect example of why it is needed. OP didn't realize that the NM in the TFR meant nautical miles. Also even though he knew there was a fire he was not aware of how flight operations work in a fire zone. This is in no way meant as a knock towards the OP as most people don't but...

I'll cry about it on the internet... wait, that's not me, I'll move on with my life just like I would if my stereo quit working in my car for a day or my internet went out at home. It's a tool, sometimes tools don't work.

The TFR could be quite large depending on the size of the fire. Due to shifting winds, smoke, and ash navigating an aircraft in a fire zone can lead to some out of the ordinary flight paths and altitudes.

Claims to want discussion. Does not actually respond to discussion about copy paste Facebook post then resorts to insulting people. Let's try again though. In your own words how does something that simply upholds patent law already in place apply to the current situation with DJI?
