    Batteries leaking?

    Charge them outside only- in a fireproof area.

    RIP Mavic 4 Pro

    Naw, it’s intentional insider trading. If you had purchased tech stock like Apple just 3-days ago, you’d have seen 20% gains today. They’re messing with all of us and getting richer for it. So going back to the regularly scheduled channel… does anyone know of a flight controller that I can use...

    RIP Mavic 4 Pro

    Well, glad someone blinked. Guess all voters count when it comes to messing with their phones and big screen TVs!😂 On the other hand, was it a blink? I mean, what did they think would happen to stock prices after instituting high tariffs and then erasing them? Or is that too high of a level of...

    Well, there goes the neighborhood! 🤣

    10% duties on all Chinese goods on 2/1

    Wow, all this is old news from earlier today- new updates are that China reciprocated with their own tariff increase and said they were done with it because the tariffs are now so high that nobody in the US will buy their stuff. China is now turning its business towards other countries and is...

    Holy ****…34% tariffs on imports from China

    We really can’t. Just like everyone else, we are dependent on the raw materials, and many advanced ones, that some countries have and make that we don’t. Like it or not, ours is just a part of a global economy and becoming independent of it won’t happen, if at all, in our lifetime.

    France is so restrictive :(

    Flying (taking off and landing…) in US National Parks is usually only permitted for scientific or other administrative purposes. They probably would not allow for it to be done recreationally, and please don’t suggest doing it anyway due to their lack of personnel. There are alternatives though...

    i lost my drone in a tree, 76 feet up in a tree, help!

    Both of them- the catinatreerescue.com site should be a sticky post somewhere on this site as I’ve posted it often. That Charlie Brown cartoon gets used a lot as well as many people have been feeding their drones to trees around here also! 😉

    Just a bit of humor for OP…

    Here’s an international directory of people that will climb trees to retrieve cats. Probably too late for OP, but some of these guys will also climb trees to retrieve drones: https://catinatreerescue.com/directory/

    Click bait… would’ve been better if it was a turkey!

    Miami Beach Police Deploy Drones During Spring Break.

    Check these guys out- they have a contract with the PD in my home town to do first response flights for situation awareness. I think they will be using the tallest building in town as their takeoff point, and they have a BLOS waiver. Will be interesting to see what success they have. They ran a...

    60 Minutes Reports on Dangers of Drone Swarms

    Maybe this will thwart jamming of at least the first generations of fully autonomous drone swarms- defense technology is getting really advanced at an alarming pace! https://breakingdefense.com/2025/03/the-next-era-of-autonomous-defense/

    60 Minutes Reports on Dangers of Drone Swarms

    That’s the same as wire guided missiles, which are old tech. Earlier ones just required you to hold a sight on your target, later ones had you paint a target with a laser and the missile follows it while trailing a control wire behind it. SAMs use the same method. All of these have a limited...

    Old Man Shoots at Drone

    I hope more people see this video, unfortunately, for people like this guy, they probably never will until it’s too late.
