Ok, so rewrite your story: same thing but instead of the "event on campus", the drone is flying near someone's house (but not over or even trying to film it or anything) and, instead of you getting the location, is your hot-headed neighbour who wrongly believes you're stalking him with your...

I've seen Sandisk, Kingston and Samsung fakes... For other types of storage, Western Digital has some fakes too. Those brands I buy only from official stores. Unbranded cards usually has the right amount of storage, but are painfully slow. This Mixza (at least for me) are spot on with the specs...

I don't know... There is an american, a canadian and a brazilian discussing different laws right now... Just saw that you are irish! I don't know if it's much use what we figured out 😅

I buy cards from AliExpress, but I never (ever, ever) buy from known brands. I stay away from Sandisk, Kingston and others. I found that Mixza is a great brand and I never found any counterfits of it. It always delivers what I bought. Tested for speed and capacity, and I had used them for more...

I don't know Pilot PE, but for mapping I'll try the two options I know: For tracing the route of a drone, for mapping, I use Drone Harmony app, for free. You can draw the polygon you want to map, input the parameters as height, overlap and tilt of the camera and it will do it for you...

I just used plain cheap self-adhesive paper and printed in my ink printer... I figured if it looked bad or started to peel off I would just print another, but it looked better than I supposed it would, and I liked the matte finish, it went better with my design:

I believe it's the simple procedure of heating the crack up until it melts a little and it seals back togheter, soldering it. For best results, you can sand it down for a smooth finish. You can do that also with an old soldering iron (but it'll be just for it since it can be hard to clean it up...

It's simple: just draw in the image using photoshop, gimp or something before turning into a sphere with a specialized program. I use to do something similar with my Samsung Gear 360. You'll just have to get used to working with the distortion, but it's not very hard. This is a rough example...

Well, should I point out something that I think it may has gone unnoticed? Stress cracks are not only from flying! It can happen in many ways, from storage to the way you carry. The drone might not have any accident, but the previous owner carried it loose on a backpack it might causes stress...

If you have the money, go for the Pro. The sensors are a big plus for subject tracking. The iOS version will come soon enough (and the controller have a screen, so it won't be a hassle).

Here in Brazil the focus of the legislation is on the drone itself. So you don't need to see the VO, but at anytime one of the two must have the drone in sights, without visual aids (other than regular glasses, if it's the case. So if you fly to the border of the canyon and the VO confirms that...

I'm in Brazil, so Part 107 doesn't apply here, we have our local aircraift rules. But most rules are international, so I thought it would be strange not to allow this on the US and did a quick search: Advisory Circular 107-2 on Section 107.33 Visual observer. (...) To make this communication...

I don't know if it's already released for the Mavic Mini 3, but I use the app Litchi for the Mavic Mini 1 and works very well. Just pay close attention for your surroundings when setting it up.

Well, usually paid jobs may require a VO. For example: when you do a visual examination of an exterior of a building, you can't be running around chasing the drone, so you'll put someone on the other side of the building just to make sure you'll don't crash it when the pattern you designed is...

I lived there for a while, in Akron, IN, when I was a teenager, for an exchange program! Beautiful place!
