    what is your Obstacle avoidance experience?

    I've used mine with active track and had it follow me around my yard with lots of trees and never had a problem

    Gimbal motor overload

    only way that would happen is if you left the gimble cover on when you start it up. I had a similar situation when I forgot to take off my cover and my screen was showing that the gimble was stuck

    what is your Obstacle avoidance experience?

    You need to say what were the circumstances that made you crash. I fly in normal mode and I have avoid all obstacles when I fly through the forests ,creeks etc. Only time I had a small crash was when I first got the drone, I had it in slow mode and I flew towards a wall slowly to see if it would...

    Got a call from the Police about my drone

    I already know the rules. I fly RC planes and I have a PPL. Having a drone is just for fun, when I'm bored at work I can fly it in the parking lot. I'm not one of those guys who flies over people or flies miles bvr. The day I flew I was below 400ft and about a mile out, not over any houses or people

    No the second flight was nowhere near the stadium that's why I was a little surprised. The only issue they had was that I was flying so far that I couldn't see it, but I think the aeroscope is what they are using

    Got a call from the Police about my drone

    Yeah I had first thought it was the remote id setting in the app, but I have that turned off. I remember reading an article that dji would turn this on by default for all new drones and no way to disable it

    Got a call from the Police about my drone

    hmmm, that might be what they are using. If so flying in airplane mode, they would still be able to track me

    https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2019/12/faa-drone-industry-must-wait-three-plus-years-for-new-id-system/ I dont think your personal information is being stored. Just the drone info and telemetry. Before I had thought they had something like a radar to detect the drones, but the more I think...

    Got a call from the Police about my drone

    Hi guys I had a run in with cops the last summer. I was out flying in Charlotte NC in the city and a cop pulled up and asked if I was flying a drone. I said yes. I told him I was just getting some pics for the skyline and the panthers stadium. After I landed, another cop on a segway pulled up...
