I fly commercially and used to get harrassed now and then. Once I got the FAA certified drone pilot vest, that mostly went away. Now people are nicer and just ask generic questions about flying one.

Who needs mountains? I do! Nothing like fly fishing in a lake like this catching trout and watching bald eagles do the same!

****, wish I knew about this before Tuesday when I had a flyaway and it crashed into a house at full speed. Repairable, but a PITA.

Pretty sweet!

Same thing here. Once I started wearing the vest I rarely get bothered by anyone. Without it and I get bugged all the time.

I searched but didn't really find anything. I reached out to the FAA about using a logo on my website to help me stand out against the competition, and this was their reply: Thank you for contacting the FAA's Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) Support Center. You may not use the FAA logo. Oh...

One thing to do is learn how to read a histogram (it's really easy). Then, use manual exposure and read your histogram as you change the exposure. You'll get much better images this way.

Yep, skin on mine and I noticed no difference.

Yep, everything I shoot is in RAW, and in fact, even my phone when I'm shooting something that could be usable.

Not really this forum, but over the winter when I was researching which one to buy, I found numerous sites that said it wasn't good enough for professional use. Glad I didn't listen to them! I've gotten some awesome stuff with it and will buy another one when this one wears out.

Nice! I used their's but in the bright orange so I can see it easier. They do make high quality wraps.

I've heard from numerous sources that the MPP isn't for pro use, but I say they're wrong. I'm a full-time professional photographer, and I use my drone quite often for my clients. Here are a couple good examples of stuff I've gotten with my bird. I shoot in all manual and watch my histogram...

Any update on this? Curious to see if you got it working again.

Taking pictures of banks is illegal, along with government buildings, unless you have written consent. I was escorted off a property by a cop once that told me about the law.

Sometimes! ;)
