I have crashed 3 drones so far in my 5 years. It feels horrible but each time I learn what I shouldn't have done. I think the dji refresh plan helps ease the sting of a crash. It is an expensive craft but so is a root canal and that is not as fun.

I think anyone who has a prosumer drone should have some official certificate that says you are aware and have knowledge of the current FAA laws. I have my part 107 but I think the system is back asswards. I know where when and how to fly safely and make use of that knowledge. A recreational...

I have flown my dji phantom 4 pro indoors in a setting typical to what you are mentioning. I was surprised at how well it behaved and was pleased with the video results. All flight inside was very slow and not a lot of maneuvering.

Can you launch and land outside of the National Park boundaries and fly into it?

Bird strike from behind? Was it a rear prop that was destroyed?

Here is an image I shot last year of a Christmas Tree lighting event.

Scary times are already here.
