    June 8, 2019 DSAR meeting. Post your Litchi search grids here

    https://flylitchi.com/hub?m=1C7DE7nkSu# It's funny you post that video about ND filters today. I just started using them this morning. What a difference they make in pictures on a bright and sunny day.

    Switching from stills to movie camera.

    I had the same problem yesterday too. It wouldn't switch over and then the app froze completely. I did the same, had to land and reboot. After that I flew for about 15 minutes and didn't have any more problems.

    The Mavic Air is ideal for indoor tactical SWAT operations

    Just curious, did you try the M2E indoors? I have flown my M2ED indoors, but just for short distances. There's a lot of settings to change to make it safer, especially the RTH to just hover.

    Asked the Chief of Police

    I am looking forward to it. I learned a lot at the first one and I know I’ll learn more at this one.

    That was me.

    Asked the Chief of Police

    I have attended the DSAR training in Mentone and will also attend the next one near Atlanta. I also was one of the pilots that helped in the Bankhead National Forest SAR earlier this month. I’m new to this forum but you’d probably recognize me in person. We met in Mentone.

    Asked the Chief of Police

    I am an LEO and fly for work and for myself. I do have a daylight waiver also. Almost every 107 pilot in my area works in law enforcement. The only time I have ever stopped to talk to a pilot was when he was landing from doing a building inspection in our town. We had a great conversation about...

    GPS Coordinates (format) for SAR, especially for DSAR

    Thanks for the input. I knew there’d be a wealth of information here. I’m basically feeling like we should just make sure we’re familiar with all the formats.

    GPS Coordinates (format) for SAR, especially for DSAR

    I have been wondering, is there a standard format for GPS coordinates for SAR? And, is there a reason to prefer one over the other?

    Second Drone SAR training session is Atlanta in June

    I saw it’s going to be 9am-4pm again, but which time zone are we going by? I just don’t want to be late.

    [CrystalSky] DJI Pilot app v1.3.0

    I broke down and updated because I had time to test it. Only flew one battery, but did not have any problems. Maybe they actually fixed the issues.

    [CrystalSky] DJI Pilot app v1.3.0

    Has anyone tried flying a M2ED with a Crystalsky with it yet? I'm slow to download it and will probably wait to hear how it's going first since I use it for work. I have reinstalled an older version. Like a lot of others, I had to uninstall v1.2.0 due to choppy video feed.
