    What can be done while Corona Virus isolation is on for me?

    I used a template i found online and a sheet of reflective tape. This really helps me spot my drone at higher altitudes, all I have to do is spin in place until the sun lights her up!

    When all is said and done....

    ...much is said and little is done. I've read as much of the forums as I could without finding the specific answer I'm looking for. I want to know if I can fly over a freeway- perpendicular, not parallel, to get to an area the other side? What if the UAV is at least 200 ft AGL? Traveling at...

    Lightroom Smart Collection cant find Mavic 2 Pro files...

    That seemed to work, until it didnt... weirdness.. Anyway I found the "filename" qualifier and since all the filenames have "DJI_" in them that works fine. Thanks!

    Lightroom Smart Collection cant find Mavic 2 Pro files...

    I wanted to create a "Smart Collection" to gather all the images & videos create with 2 different drones; my Anafi and the Mavic 2. I set the terms to "any searchable metadata" then added "anafi" and "DJI_" accordingly, but only the Anafi files show up. I've tried using MAVIC, mavic, DJI, DJI_...

    Entering Mexico with Mavic 2

    True, we met several "ex pats" that lived nearby and practically had us ready to uproot! Also the fact that my wife's great-great grandfather was the General of the Mexican army that stopped the U.S. from taking over that part of Baja Sud. There's even a gold painted bust of him near the arch...

    Entering Mexico with Mavic 2

    We went during the off-season, right before or after spring break, so often, many of the places we went, we'd have the entire place to ourselves! I concur with the other post that suggested you just dont make a big deal about it. We always travel with just carry-on- I had my Anafi Parrot in my...

    Any drone flyers in NorCal?

    No, sorry, I should have opened the photo first- I can see now that's not what I thought it was.

    Any drone flyers in NorCal?

    Well done! Are there any restrictions as to where exactly you can fly on TI? I'd like to practice real estate video maneuvers with the residential units there. It's hard to find specific info about drones on TI. I live in SF so I'm guess I'll just go and ask around...

    Any drone flyers in NorCal?

    My friends just lost their property in Healdsburg. Fortunately I got some drone footage just a few months earlier, it came in handy for the insurance claim.

    Mavic 2 Pro - I need help!

    It doesn't like your password- make sure you’re using enough characters, numbers and a “symbol” (?!$&@)

    Another Pixel Pilot in San Francisco

    I look forward to being as confident as you! But based on what I’ve learned with my Parrot I am sparing no effort to ensure the safety of my much more expensive Mavic and any surrounding property. The propeller guards are for potentially tight/enclosed areas. The “gimbal guard” I’m referring...
