    Areas near Lost Maples Natural Area (outside San Antonio).

    I do not really have any suggestions on Drone usage, but be aware that all state parks in TX are often fully booked long in advance, especially this one during the fall season. So be sure to have you passes already booked. Also, expect a long wait time as you enter, since even though may have a...

    Camera angle control

    If the wheels on the controller are not doing anything, then something is amiss. When working properly, they are much better at controlling the camera angle than the touch screen. You can even set gain/exp settings to control have fast the controller will adjust the camera angle for smoother...

    Never bought from B&H Photo... should i?

    To clarify ... I did not mean to suggest that keeping the credit card open would hurt your score. I was saying that opening it, using it, then closing it and then opening it again would impact your score negatively.

    Never bought from B&H Photo... should i?

    Just curious Dale as to why you don't just leave the credit card open. No need to use it but readily available when making your next purchase from B&H. I would think opening and closing a credit card on a regular basis could negatively impact your credit score rating (just guessing).

    Visiting National Parks in West US, Flying in between (?)

    I agree with previous commentors that you have a very detailed plan. Honestly though, I think you are really trying to pack in way, way, way too much to see. Slow down and enjoy the scenery. I bet you could cut half of your planned stops and still be too rushed. That said, I am sure there will...

    Never bought from B&H Photo... should i?

    I have purchased camera, camera accessories and Mac computers from them. Never had issues with deliveries or products. Never had to return an item, so no experience on that front. One thing worth noting is that if you use their B&H Payboo credit card, they will not charge any service fees and...

    Question of the day

    Perhaps the more relevant question is ... How many wives do you need?".

    Mavic 2 Zoom is now RID compliant

    For those that reading this thread, I am hoping that if you that perform the updates to the M2Z firmware and DJI Go4 App then please post your experiences ... positive or negative with the update. I plan on updating, but would rather wait for some brave souls to report on their experiences...

    DJI Go 4

    I don't think I ever had to do this, so I am not sure. Do you really need to remove the propellors, or is that a safety concern?

    Inches From Disaster

    Of course, if you were following FAA rules and flying within line of site, and had eyes on the drone at all times, this would not have been so risky, huh? Just saying .. . not telling you how to fly (cause, clearly you would not respond well if I did).

    RID FIRMWARE UPGRADE/UPDATE IN CASE YOU HAVEN'T SEEN THIS..

    Weird, but I found this encouraging. I must have been in the dark because I had not heard that DJI was even going to update the Mavic 2's FW for RID compatibility, despite having done so for the older mavic Platinum. So I am encouraged and will hold off purchasing a RID module.

    Cheap Remote ID Modules & the HACKS to make them INVISIBLE

    If Karen cannot see it, then how do the appropriate authorities see it? If they cannot see it, how is this hack considered still compliant?

    Canadian Fires- will this affect my August trip?

    Hi Dale, This is probably off topic and a red herring and I expect you would have done your homework about who can fly drones in Canada. But I thought I read somewhere / sometime ago that you must be a Canadian citizen to fly a drone in Canada for recreation purposes. Is that true or did I dream...

    Cannot Find Files on SD Card on Mac

    It is possible that an invisible file or folder is taking up the storage. The Mac file system will hide any file / folder that has a filename that starts with a period "." So for example, the Trash on a drive has a filename ".Trash" which is normally not visible in the finder. You can display...

    Land Drone and take off

    Some of the cautionary notes from others not withstanding, remember also that if you do successfully take off after landing, your home point will get updated and it will be the new RTH location. So be careful.
