Hey, the reason they kind of can tell you to leave is that Ko Olina is privately owned. I used to fly there all the time, but I launched from my driveway lol. But usually they make people stop because they are flying over people or pools and that not right or appropriate for a pilot to do...

Yea it's pretty locked down and tight with so many rules here. Honestly I like flying on the west side. No one gives a rats out there. Flew north shore once, no one seemed to care there either. As you are coming into this new, do not fly anywhere near people. They will distract you, you...

Don't worry about revival lol, keep this alive man! Welcome to the club. Saw a mavic in ko olina today. I screwed up at my house the other day, when I put the new firmware on, I decided to spend 30 minutes setting up the settings how I like them, since updates wipe it. I always fly low over...

Hawaii State parks are prohibited(which is half the **** islands), if you read their websites. Not sure if there is law, or if DNLR just says so is enough.

I don't know. I order everything online. There are some shops in Honolulu, but I never go into town so I don't know what stores or where they are. Sorry bud. You could place a second order and ship it to hotel and pay for 1 or 2 day shipping? Sent from my SM-N910V using Tapatalk

I did get a 64gb sandisk extreme pro, the 95/90 MB/s card, not the new pro one that can do like 250MB/s. I wish they didn't have multiple cards named so close together. It was hard ordering on amazon ensuring I was getting the speeds I wanted. I was saying for me at 20 minutes per battery the...

I'll agree that connections have a life limit. But I think you'd be on your next drone or the mavic would be dead before the SD card slot dies. I've never killed one on anything, it can happen sure, but not likely in my eyes. With the cost of individual parts to repair things, you'd just buy...

Haha, im on tapatalk app, don't see signatures on my phone. I just fly to fly. All my planes and helicopters are in crates collecting dust, only toy with drones out here in hawaii. Some dude was chilling on the rocks, half way up makapuu flying a glider for hours on Friday. I was a bit...

Oh yea right by the FBI building and mini food truck spot in Kapolei. I'd be interested in knowing the earnings. Is it worth dealing with legalities to be commercial pilot? Sent from my SM-N910V using Tapatalk

Yea man. Thing for me is I'll be waiting for them to catch a wave and get bored so I fly shoreline and want the more cinematic video(not that it turns into anything yet, I don't have time to learn to edit.) I wish I could make a filter wheel and click through different filters while flying...

Yo man, I was at tracks beach park when west was kicking last week. Yesterday was at makapuu light house. (Went up there with my toddler and infant, so only got to fly for a few minutes.) I do have the taco-rc mc/nd filter set also. I like them, but gotta get more lense cleaner lol. They get...

Oh the second part is at times they want still shots. And we know knocking down shutter speed ruins that a bit. I so wish I could have the best of both worlds. Sent from my SM-N910V using Tapatalk

The worst part is the **** sun in Hawaii. I know I'm going to lose sight of drone at times, but using the camera to judge height is scary lol. Especially when waves are coming in from the side and you don't always know how big it's going to be haha. At least I'm usually higher than it looks...

Try cleaning the ultrasonic sensors on the bottom of your drone. its almost as if you are describing it thinks it is at 3ft when you try to decend and it decides to land.

So I've been playing around with the ND filters and getting some cool shots reducing shutter to double fps. However, would it be wise to not slow the shutter so much for action shots? Getting shots of friends surfing is blurry, because I cant follow them exactly centered on my screen to...
