Loved that show! Great reference... beep beep beep beep...oh the tension!

I always considered them one and the same. I believe that to be true, but cannot with certainty verify. I never took my bird up again during our trip. I understand launching somewhere else and flying where I wanted to, but then I’m not only away from my kids, but also violating the VLOS rule...

I was definitely annoyed at the idea of having to get a permit, but fine, I’ll play their game. However I would think a simple google search would help me find an avenue to do that, and I can’t find anything about it. I guess I could go to whatever city hall they might have here, but...

Hi all, one of my first posts, I’ve been reading a while and enjoy the forum. Hopefully I’m posting this in the correct area. I am vacationing up in the town of Mammoth this week with my two kids and my folks have joined us also. We visited the skate park today and I checked B4UFLY to make sure...

Find that stuff and send it my way ? I still play with the toy cars with my kids...I am just a big kid after all ?

I appreciate hearing this first hand experience as I am currently looking to invest in some filters for my MP and PolarPro was one of the contenders. Thanks for sharing your experience with them! Jon

Same here. I work in our port (Los Angeles) and there is often civilian vessels being hailed by port police or coasties because they’ve gotten too close to either a cruise or container ship. It’s a no no for sure. Agreed for drones, they would perceive a threat. Everything down here has changed...

I have had my MP since November, have 38 flights in now, 1 crash (totally my fault, was panning and sideswiped a tree branch)My most recent stretch was flying over water, launched from my boat (anchored). I was definitely nervous!! I traveled slightly out beyond VLOS but was unobstructed. As...

I’d have been nervous to leave my drone out while I climbed, LOL! I suppose your fiancée could watch over it while you were climbing.

Awesome footage! Love the one spot specifically where you panned straight backwards. Gives such great perspective of the size of that tower. Minnesota is beautiful, I sure wish I had my MP when we went there on a road trip last year.

I was wondering the same thing. My MP will pick up rebar in a concrete lad behind my house, I can’t imagine trying to launch from a steel tower?

“And chrome exhaust pipes” Do you live near Los Angeles by any chance?
