On Windows you have faster ways of transferring large amounts of data than using the built in file explorer drag and drop: In Windows, you can transfer 100s of GBs with one drag and drop, and the amount of time it takes is of course proportional to the amount of data you are transmitting, but...

I was fortunate enough in the early 1980's to spend a week a Canyon Ranch, a luxurious health spa in Tucson, Arizona. They have a big steam room and one day I walked in and had the whole room to myself. Until this guy walks in and sits down across the way. "How do you make this thing hotter?"...

My Air 1 met its end when I was sitting on a log, watching the waves roll in for a while, and I thought it would be a fine idea to put my drone down on the flat sand and take off from there. I powered up the drone, put it down, and was powering up the RC when the rogue wave came and filled the...

Perhaps you are referring to the fact that there is no crowded beach currently bordering a busy street in Berkeley, California? The movie I'm producing is based on a science fiction novel I wrote set in Berkeley 100 years in the future. I gave the AI the prompt "FPV view over crowded beach...

I have third-party cookies disabled in my browser and Youtube works for me. I haven't had any problems with it disabled. What site is giving you a problem mavicpilots or Youtube or something else?

Yeah, a virtual Part 107 certificate! :)

I used runwayml generative AI to create this short video clip of a drone flying over a beach, as part of a short movie I'm producing as an experiment in order to see how far I can take the latest AI tools. The prompt: FPV view over crowded beach bordering a busy street in Berkeley, California...

I saw that eBike from DJI in a recent marketing email from them and actually checked that it was from DJI. Wow, way to diversify! Maybe they will eventually cross a drone with an eBike so you could use pedal assist to fly your eBike up into the sky. I can dream. Someone did actually fly across...

I would normally be buying an Air 3 right now (have an Air 1, Air 2, among other DJI products), but I'm not because of this bill possibly grounding DJI. Anyone else in the same situation? Is there anything even close to the Air 3 from another manufacturer of similar price / features? Is my...

I just want to repeat the idea that it's legal to fly in our National Forests! I was recently capturing some drone footage in a National Park in Southern California and ran into a Forest Ranger, who wanted to ensure I knew all the safety rules. Upon demonstrating that I knew what I was doing...

Well, you're wrong about being wrong, because you're right! :)

Just to clarify, the whole context of this thread is the future, so we're not talking about present-day technology. You might argue we'll never get there, but that's a different argument I think.

You're right. An example would better explain it. I like to swoop through open barns with FPV at high speed. When you're entering the barn at high speed, there's no way to tell whether there's an open exit in the back. If I know ahead of time and I know the area is clear of hazards, I can do...

I expect AI will get much safer than a human who is limited to visual line of sight from operator to drone. What I want is the ability to fly FPV manually with an AI acting as a safety shield, preventing the drone from crashing into anything no matter what I do, and still letting me get within...

Which link is it that seems broken? I've had quite a few interesting conversations with AI lately.
