    Chinese drones are spying on Americans

    Yeah, they've been doing it for years...often wearing masks too ?

    Quick question about Airplane flying over your drone

    Watch out for false ADS-B too. I've been flying (legally) and ADS warning has gone off because of an aircraft directly overhead - airliner at FL320 ....? ?

    Mavic 2 Pro Distance Test

    This has to be a wind up. If not it should be removed. This kind of illegal, irresponsible and frankly stupid, childish and dangerous behaviour should be punished, not condoned. Passenger airlines cruise at these altitudes!

    Phone connection lost while flying in the rain

    I think you're missing the point here. It's a given that you shouldn't be flying your drone in the rain and if you do then you run the risk of water getting inside and causing a fault condition. In this case the OP was saying he was caught out by an unexpected cloud burst and realised that he...

    Phone connection lost while flying in the rain

    I think this is going a little off track, perhaps being steered in an advertising sense for so called wetsuits. The OP was quite clearly affected by a well known issue whereupon the USB port on the phone suffered moisture ingress. The drone performed correctly, apparently not showing any...

    Flying in forests - loss of connection at distances over 500m

    Bit confusing here. Isosceles triangle doesn't have a hypotenuse ? S'funny here too that no mention is made of regulations. Acknowledged 'newbies' , such as is the case here, deserve to be educated by those of us with more experience. The inference is taken that the OP is taking his drone out of...

    Can't fly farther than .5 miles

    Please familiarise yourself with the rules and regulations appropriate to your country. Your post suggests you are not aware of VLOS. I Defy anybody that claims to be able to see their Mavic, even on a clear day without obstructions at 0.5 miles (800m). Be safe.

    Mavic Mini for "Commercial" USE ?!

    You need to register as a minimum (Operator and Flyer ID) and ID your drone. Again the details are all published on how to do this. Be careful listening to non UK posts, their rules may be different. ?

    Mavic Mini for "Commercial" USE ?!

    Hi, you're stepping into a minefield here and I expect you'll get plenty of detailed responses. Good on yer though for recognising this as unfortunately there are lots of irresponsible people out there that think it is fine to fly where they want and as long as they want. Essentially you need to...
