I’m pretty sure the USB port on the Mavic 2 Pro is only for data transfer. OP- best chance is to see here on our member maps link if there are any drone enthusiasts in the area that can help: https://mavicpilots.com/dbtech-membermap/

Being that educational organizations including all types of schools (K-12 and colleges) are able to have FAA FRIA’s, both our local community college and high school have FAA FRIA designations in fields on each of their campuses. One we use to teach students for our aviation club. Guess they...

Sounds cool but I hope you are maintaining those LiPO’s while they’re in storage!

Oh man, ravens vs bald eagles. What great fun to watch because ravens like to tease them by sneaking up from behind and plucking at their tail feathers!

My ideas are flowing here… I’ve taught robotics lessons for kids and adults before and used the meeting room at our local library as a classroom. I didn’t charge for them, but they did sell kits with a small profit that was mainly just to cover my time and effort, but they were pretty...

another idea, if you are tech savvy, there are companies online that sell miniature 3-D printed models of people‘s homes as keepsakes, that’s something you can do with a drone and a 3-D printer. I’m assuming since you’re in a rural area, there’s agriculture? Perhaps get into NDVI imagery to...

That’s a great idea! Forensic Photography sounds like it would be a very interesting career, even for someone living in a rural area who wants to work with local lawyers, insurance companies, law enforcement and fire departments, but there is a learning curve to climb in order to be certified-...

Hi George, I’ve seen drone related commercial industry jobs advertised on Indeed.com - some were pretty local to where I live but that’s because I live in an urban area. You may need to travel a bit for yours. Good luck with that!

Go back and fly there again, but next time tie a live mouse or small bird on top of your drone!

Dale, very interesting shot. Is it a pano stitched from multiple images or cropped to look like one? Also, does the Z8 have a full frame sensor? People mentioned the color, I like it for its abstract look. Did you shoot in RAW mode (I assume you did), I always do but find it’s really important...

I used my car once as a block to help a guy on a horse that had a bulldog mix trying to bite him and freak out the horse. The guy yelled at me to run it over, but I was able to herd the dog away with the car safely.

Amazon sells inexpensive mini screw extractor sets, I also have a IFixIt set that works really well. ***Oh, just saw you’re in the UK, maybe you can find a similar link on Amazon UK for it. I’m not sure about IFixIt though, sorry about that!

I’ll have to admit that in my younger days while still in college, one of my first GIS and aerial interpretation jobs was working under a contract with the tax assessor’s office of a county here in California that included looking on aerial photos taken from a airplane at the properties of...

4 x 6 is a large print, DSLRs with macro lenses can capture images like that with extremely high resolution and dynamic range, allowing for more detail in both the highlights and shadows. If you know anyone with such a camera, definitely go that route. If you don’t have one, a D 300 or even a D...

I just googled it and saw that. But looked like it was a model distinction or name the way it was originally written in the post. Thanks for the correction. I’ll just go back to happily flying my MIIP now…
