Buy them a toy. https://www.amazon.com/TUDELLO-Beginners-Quadcopter-Helicopter-Batteries/dp/B0BFFDZ393/ref=sr_1_8?crid=QTA2GYCUAZ1F&keywords=toy%2Bdrone&qid=1670086972&sprefix=toy%2Bdrone%2Caps%2C88&sr=8-8&th=1

It wasn't a drone. The Air boss made a very bad mistake, according to the NTSB preliminary report, based on the audio tapes of the communications to the pilots. Watch this entire video by Juan Brown to hear what happened>

Lucky! Nice job flying. FYI: NOAA is the US agency that protects marine mammals. The FAA followed NOAA guidance for manned aircraft flying over whales. Based on your footage, I don't think you were disturbing those whales. NOAA says "Avoid flying drones, or unmanned aircraft systems (UAS)...

Sorry, but I’m not sure. But I think I updated the firmware a few weeks ago. You can download older versions of the firmware using DJI Assistant 2.

Only flown a few times. Everything in the Fly More kit, plus extra PGYTECH ND filters. $500, I pay to ship to any address in USA.

There is also a waiver you can get to fly over large crowds. As always go to the source, in this case the FAA: Category 3 small UAS have further operating restrictions. A remote pilot in command may not operate a small unmanned aircraft over open-air assemblies of human beings. Additionally, a...

Thomas B, Your comment got me wondering.... DID they send back the same controller (RC)? Now I'm not so sure. On close inspection this morning, I see that there was a sticker over the little code and S/N square on the back of the RC. (See photo.) I peeled that off to show the S/N (see other...

Yes, I meant Go4 app. I did try to link without any mobile attached, and that didn't fix it. The problem was definitely a linking issue between the RC and the aircraft. I spent an hour on the phone with a DJI tech after the first post. This has nothing to do with any in flight issue, this...

same one.

I ruled out the cable idea when I attached my iPad to the controller with an entirely different cable, and that didn't change anything. DJI repair did something to fix it, but they haven't admitted what they did.

After one hour with DJI tech support, I sent it to DJI for repair. They had it for 4 days, and sent it back with a report that it was working fine, and "no issues" were found. It's been fine since I got it back from them. I'm suspicious of their report that "no issues" were found. When I got the...

Kittyhawk explains it this way: https://kittyhawk.io/blog/class-e-airspace-and-laanc/

"Class E Airspace Class E airspace is the controlled airspace not classified as Class A, B, C, or D airspace. A large amount of the airspace over the United States is designated as Class E airspace. 15-3 Figure 15-2. An example of a prohibited area, P-40 around Camp David. This provides...

Very happy with Skywatch so far.

I've been flying almost every day this month with no issues. Zero problems, everything was great. I flew 3 different missions yesterday without a problem. This morning, with topped up batteries, I went to launch, and the M2P simply refuses to link to the controller. I attempted to create the...
