This looks very interesting... I'll likely get one, because I can't resist new, novel and exciting toys. Check it out... what do y'all think? https://www.techradar.com/cameras/drones/has-dji-just-met-its-match-insta360-unveils-project-antigravity-the-worlds-first-360-drone

Not sure this is entirely true. For instance, on the occasions I've had someone upset about "spying" on their family and property, I've been successful in changing their minds a few times by simply showing them what the wide-angle view is from 150 feet. Doesn't satisfy everyone, but some people...

I don't know... P. Diddy. Should be locked up just for the name. :p

If we go retro, all I ask is that we don't bring back The A-Team, McGyver, and other such drek. Or VHS tapes. Carry on. 😁

What? They're not?!? 😁 😁

With all the drones I own, and wanting to get some footage in Hawaii, it was hard to decide what to take with limited packing space. Here's what I settled on... I really want to do some FPV. So, Avata 2 seems an obvious choice. However, I came up with a better overall solution after finding a...

Glad to have you with us, brother. You give me hope 👍 Cardiac Rehab has been wonderful, it's been a delight to work hard and sweat buckets again. Did 60 minutes of recumbent bike yesterday, 30 at rehab, another 30 at the gym a few hours later. I feel so good!!

Well, I disagree. I think it a pretty effective anti-theft feature that does actually reduce theft, especially for the more expensive models. MHO

Hmmm... I don't think you're the intended customer. Rather, I think professional film-makers and amateurs that have no interest in the technicalities if drone flight and control are, and there are many more of them than us. What he describes for AI Cinematographer is essentially what a film...

Hey @Dangerly, I had my arguments with you last year about how much "intelligence" was really manifested in AI. I'm here now to say that, with the advancements in the last year my opinion has changed. The technology is showing spontaneous self-preservation behavior, lying to it's creators and...

Seriously, that can easily carry a camera AND a microphone. I'm holding out for doordash delivery. 😁😁😁

Point taken, but I think you missed the humor @Cafguy intended -- i.e. maintaining VLOS :p With all the floaters I have in my eyes these days, we're talking 10 feet 😁

I'm a fan of The Drone Creative, maybe it's just listening to his Irish Brogue 😁 In any case, got a few things out of this Mini4P tips video, especially the fact that you can use a mouse with the RC2 for creating/editing waypoint missions. Tried it, very cool (and quite useful!). Starts at 6:34...

It was GLORIOUS!! And thanks everyone for your kind words. It means a lot. A bit more Trace Adkins, this verse has kind of become a metaphor for what I experienced, from I Came Here to Live: I reckon I was doing close to 80 When I felt the tire slip out from under me And I never set out...

I think you misunderstand the relevant safety issues. While it is true that drone accidents are rare, the count is not zero. Also, there is the uncontrollable factor of idiocy. Anyway, weight is a focus of safety regulation for a very good reason. A Neo losing power and dropping on someone's...
