    Night Flying

    Don’t forget that the strobes are for others to see you, like manned aircraft flying in the area, not only for you seeing your drone.

    Adding a strobe light(s)

    Hey, Mike, do you have installation recommendations/instructions on your site? I have a P4Pv2 and want a strobe for night flying. It’s very confusing looking at pictures of bare-board lights and imagining how they should be installed. One or two lights? What’s recommended?

    Suffolk farm drone in near-miss with Tornado jet

    This is a great case for having a small ADS-B receiver that integrates with the controller. I would love that!

    Anyone know about buying DJI Care Refresh for a used drone?

    I’m thinking of purchasing either an Air Fly More Combo or a Pro Platinum (no combo) for similar pricing. Both are only 2-4 moths old. Does anyone know if I can buy the DAjI Care Refresh package for either of these drones? Reported to have had no crashes with either. Thanks!

    I’ve whittled my choices down to 5 drones...

    Newby Decision: Which Mavic to Buy

    Thanks for all the info. It sounds like the Pro is the best way to go, with the Platinum being a smidge better but maybe not when an MP can be had at a Refurb price but not the MPP. I’m definitely leaning towards a refurbished MP.

    Newby Decision: Which Mavic to Buy

    Thanks for that tip. I’ve even the refurbished drones-for-sale on the DJI site. No Mavic Air or Platinums appear to be available, Are there other resellers that offer discounts? I’ll check B&H :-)

    Thanks. I will dig through the posts. Mostly I was hoping for some comment about why a choice was made. :-)

    Newby Decision: Which Mavic to Buy

    I have flown a bunch of “toy” drones, no cameras. I am a still photographer thinking that adding Drone photography would be a lot of fun. Actually, we will be doing a lot of RVing in the next few years and I thought it would be great to chronical our trips with aerial video. Also thinking I...
