My wife and I are also snowmobilers and try to make a trip up to Rabbit Ears each season and we often stay in Steamboat. It's such a beautiful place!

Hello all, Thanks again for the warm welcome. I've been able to spend time flying and settling on a control configuration, using the different intelligent controller modes, and developing a "feel" for the controls; it's been fun! The land around our home is heavily wooded, the terrain is...

Interesting, and thanks for posting that. I went and perused the Aeroscope docs after reading your post and found this: AEROSCOPETM Mobile detects UAVs flying within a particular surveillance area.* Aeroscope receives UAV broadcast information in various formats, and then sends the...

Well, this morning before flight and during the firmware check, I was informed that there was a firmware update for the Intelligent Controller, so I let it proceed. Later in the day, I just happened to be going through the menus in the controller while uploading footage via USB. I just happened...

Welcome from another new pilot!

Thanks for the warm welcome everyone.

Have you tried connecting your drone directly to your PC with an appropriate USB cable? That is what I do with my M2 Pro and it works very well. Windows recognizes and configures two media devices - one device for the internal 8 GB storage and one for the 128 GB Micro SD card. Moving the media...

That was beautiful.

Hi Ken, thanks for the reply. If its just a small amount of info once-per-second then I agree that it should be negligible.

First, here is a link to a PDF for the executive summary of the remote ID rule: Click me Second, I am a new drone pilot that just took the plunge and purchased an M2P, and I don't regret it. Third, while I freely admit that I am a new drone pilot, I am not new to IT (professional software...

Another new pilot from Colorado and the proud owner of a Mavic 2 Pro checking in. My wife and I are fortunate to live on 42 acres of Colorado forest between Peyton and Elbert Colorado, so there is lots of room to fly, albeit more challenging given the forestation. This is my first drone and...
