    Problem updating Mavic 2 Pro

    I haven't flown my Mavic 2 Pro in about a year, since getting the Mavic 3 Pro. This info could prove valuable. Thanks for posting.

    Verbally Announced Altitude?

    Costco also makes progressive lenses similar to the Varilux line that have a wider center. And they're much more affordable. I've been wearing them for years.

    NYC Hilton hit by drone at 3am. Hotel guest identified as operator.

    The media stokes hysteria, linking completely unrelated events to garner our attention through fear mongering: "The drone strike happened the same day Luigi Mangione, 26, accused of fatally shooting UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson outside the same Midtown hotel in December, was set to...

    Florida Counties

    I don't see this as an exemption allowing the legal use/flying of drones. It only allows them to prohibit otherwise potentially illegal activity if done by drone, so long as the law making it illegal isn't specific to drones. For instance, a peeping Tom statute would apply to drones just as it...

    Florida Counties

    Hehe... As I was reading your list and statuses, I was thinking, "Well, of course they don't have any rules, the state of Florida says they can't." I eventually got down to your FS reference. ;-)

    Small drone rental options?

    Who's telling you that you must use a drone from the list? Is it the base authority withholding permission to fly unless you use a drone from the list?

    Wyoming Drone Trespass bill (establishes 200ft min. over private property)

    I've watched some and determined the rest isn't worth my time. He compares manned aircraft requirements to maintain 500' AGL and 1000' separation from objects (safety measures) to privacy concerns. He states a drone pilot harassing deer violated no law. Don't most states have laws against...

    Liability insurance

    I'm paying roughly double what you told me you're paying. I'm with Skywatch, monthly. Let me know if you find a good option.

    From Huntsville, AL

    Hey, I'm not far from you in Middle Tennessee. And I was just in Huntsville a couple of weeks ago. Sure love Rosie's Mexican food. You may want to explore waypoints. I'm pretty new to them, but noticed on my Mavic 3 Pro that the info you're wanting is included with each waypoint. If you...

    Ultimate Guide to Drone Insurance

    Hmmm.... Looks like Thimble may have quit drones.

    Liability insurance

    As was posted previously, it appears Thimble no longer does drone coverage.

    Philly Drone Flyer OOB permanently

    From what I've read of his flouting FAA regs and warnings, he got off as lightly as could be expected.

    Another great video from Pilot Institute.

    Excellent info. It seems that with the very recent changes, that some users may not know about, or even benefit from (if they haven't updated), should have been addressed.

    Greetings from Florida

    Welcome! Where abouts in Florida? I spend some time in the panhandle.

    How do you deal with angry people who hate drones while you're flying?

    It's entirely situational. Each event is different. I've done an insurance shoot where there was an LEO nearby before I started, working traffic near some construction. I walked over to him, and when he had a break in action, spoke with him about what I'd be doing. No problem. I've been in...
