I guess I'm lucky, living next to a river gives be great access to both shorelines. I just have to watch out for seaplanes practicing once in a while. I've captured some great shoreline photos from my 12 ft aluminum boat. Just get proficient with hand launch-and-catch before you go out on the...

No problem starting with my MP4 RC2 before or after the latest firmware.

it's my understanding that most of the NFL stadiums use some form of counter UAS radar to protect land and air defense operations, there's a you tube video all about it on Pilot Institute.

I worry most in the spring, not so much with the large birds of prey, more with the small sparrows and songbirds. I'm most guarded when the adults are making multiple flights to feed their young. They're flying with food in their beak and also looking out for hawks and falcons. Not watching out...

I don't know very much about the Lake Pocotopaug. I'm doing most of my flying in the Haddam area. After a poor start with a returned and replaced mini4 pro, it's been raining so much that it's been difficult to get out. I got the drone to get where my Nikon couldn't go, mostly bogs and...

It's probably like taxes, once they go up they never go back down.

Regarding my newbe first post.. (new mini4 pro rc2, NO VIDEO). I received 2 emails from DJI today, first one said that they received my drone package, the second email said that UPS had my package (new mini4 pro) and would ship soon. They actually received my returned drone 6 days ago. I know...

We should all be that good, fantastic flying!

I appreciate all of the helpful comments on my "no video" post. I obtained my Trust certificate b4 getting the drone. and the rules have not changed much through the years...mostly common sense rules. I major in wildlife photography and I need the drone to obtain great footage of swamps and...

Hello all, from East Hampton, Ct. Mini4 pro rc, My x-mas present, (either the mini4 or pay the property taxes). Had it 2 days before I sent it back. (no Video) rather disappointing being that video was the main reason I bought it. I didn't even try the video for the first day out. I wanted to...
