I've hit cables too. My situation was one where I had an attachment on the top of the drone. I was flying forward and suddenly the drone stopped while I had the throttle half way forward. I realized I was stuck on a cable and slowly backed up until I got loose. I was lucky my props didn't hit...

Someday, I hope

OMG, finally a drone capture of the rare bigfoot. I'm impressed. Your very lucky.

I've seen product diagrams of drones being used as relays. I think it was military though. They can line up 4 drones and have a fifth flying 30 miles away , while the pilot receives and sends commands through the chain of drones.

Looks like small countries are more into the drone hobby than the larger ones.

Repair, if under warranty. If it were me, I would would open the case up and inspect the batteries, fans, and connectors. But then, i have a lot of experience opening controllers without damaging them, which I won't go into here.

I use after effects and vegas pro. Both can create the text and effects made in the example videos. Sorry, but i've never used resolve.

I never heard of being able to perform a preflight check list that can be recorded in the flight log. My understanding is that the FAA suggests (not mandates) that you should complete a preflight checklist and save them, in case something happens during your flight. It would definitely help a...

I have to agree with that sentence. I normally stay out of my own neighborhood, except to fly over it from my balcony to get to the wooded areas surrounding it. It's a small neighborhood. Believe me, I've gotten some flak from a couple neighbors when I had to stop and hover just for a few...

I've been using the N3 SDK Spotlight 35W $342 for almost 6 months. It's a great light and really lights up the ground below unless you go to the 2nd 1/2 in lens. Otherwise it's extremely bright at night. The only problem i've had using it, is that when flying, I occasionally lose my GPS...

I saw this myself. The person hat originally posted this doesn't think it's to skirt the new regulations. A chinese made drone is a Chinese made drone. If it's got the parts, it's got the parts. The thing I heard , is that the drones are refurbished drones, trying to be sold as new drones...

I fly from a 3rd story balcony. It Helps.

Can you explain, "the fifth character from the left is an S". Many of us, including myself have no idea what that means.

LOL. While flying a MAV3E, I had a neighbor who lived a street over drive down my street looking for the pilot of the drone I was flying. It was at night. I was on my balcony. I guess he noticed the glow from my RC screen on my face and started a mildly hostile conversation with me from his car...

It's hard for me to believe that this guy and his family moved because of this little mishap with what he posted from his drone. If he did move, he would have only done it if it made fiscal sense. No one is moving out of their home over a drone photo if they are going to lose money on the deal...
