    Lost MA2, questions for the pros here

    Wow.. I had not heard of this issue that it will create a new ground zero. Does it post a message to the app stating that the new ground zero has been set or something? This is terrible programming and makes very little sense to me.

    Flying through tunnels....

    Did you turn on the bottom light while flying in the dark tunnel? When the drone goes into ATTI it will try to use VPS to position but if it's low light then it will just drift... (don't ask me how I know or how much fingers hurt when trying to keep it off the wall of your hallway.. ). You...

    Captured unusual activity with my drone

    Wow.. That's funny. I'm amazed that you were able to hover that close and the guy never heard the drone. Would have been just hilarious if you would have buzzed him while he was driving away. ;-)

    Question for those flying a few years

    When I travel, I take the drone. I joined a local search and rescue org to put my skills to use with drone search and rescue. Got my 107 Flying over water and practicing flight by chasing boats and getting different angles is fun But yeah, I am right there with you.

    Mavic Air 2 for disaster surveying except...

    I love this little drone but when will companies like DroneDeploy support it or even mention it?? And there doesn't seem to be any way to extract GPS location information unless you happened to already have enabled closed captioning in the app. It's just a little absurd to me that out of the...

    Once in a lifetime, MISSED

    Ok, here's my once in a lifetime... I volunteer as a Drone Search and Rescue pilot for a local disaster response non-profit and one morning we were by our equipment area showing off the drop mechanism on our Inspire. I had just landed the drone when all of a sudden we heard police chasing...

    My first run in with the law over my drone :(

    Class B airspace. Nothing to do with the stadium except apparently that heliport is owned by the stadium owner.

    My first run in with the law over my drone :(

    If you would have used Kittyhawk to get permission to fly (since it's Class B airspace) and you would have gotten that permission.. I don't think the stadium has any say at all and can't do anything. As it is now, I do not think they could do anything except possibly report you to the FAA for...

    Odd behavior while landing MA2

    I have the landing pad and it was on a grass surface that I had taken off from the other night. Upon flying back to land at about 6' or less off the surface the drone was self adjusting either left, right or forward and every time I adjusted it back to where I wanted it to be, it would again...

    Show Off Your Case

    I have to admit, I'm really torn on what I want for a case. I carried a backpack when I had a Phantom and it was massive to carry around. Then I moved to the MP and got a hard plastic case which was an awesome difference in size to the P3 but after carrying that many times to the airport and to...

    Show Off Your Case

    Great thread. Just got the MA2 and already looking for case options. I have a question though, I want to use my iPad mini and have a collapsible holder on order so I need a little extra space or maybe an outside pocket for the iPad mini. Thoughts or ideas for that?

    Police showed up my house within 15 minutes of flight today

    Not actively without a warrant. Except by my family in which I have given full control there. :-)

    Police showed up my house within 15 minutes of flight today

    All I'm saying is that there can be many facets of this argument. IE.. Because there are roadways there are naturally many more cars traveling in the same area at the same time and to the point that any number of potential causes may be disastrous. In other words, the solution can sometimes...
