My best guess as someone with media experience is that the drone shots will be flyovers from the week before of each hole. They were doing live shots using drones as they have been on PGA coverage all year. It is kind of an OK add on to the coverage but is not really adding much. They drone...

The article that is linked to the original post says it is a one mile radius. "...Federal Aviation Administration issued a temporary flight restriction (TFR) covering an area within 1-mile radius of the stadium up to 18,000 feet in altitude as part of a security plan designed to protect and...

Korn will repel almost any living creature.

"Should we own drones like chainsaws?" I was really hoping this thread would be about some kind of new flying chainsaw that I could use to trim some trees. I guess I'll have to wait for my flying flame thrower to arrive.

I think that's just something they do on TV and in he movies. If the data isn't on the picture you can't "enhance" it enough to read anything using Photoshop. The FBI and NSA may have this ability but I can't do it with Photoshop.

Very nice. I'm actually a member of the Urquhart Clan; nice to see the old house is still standing.

Honey bees are not in danger of extinction. They are an important insect and should be protected but they are not an endangered species.

I think you are correct. When I first got the MPP it would give me a red NFZ warning and I couldn't start the drone, even inside my warehouse. Something has changed in the last year that allows me to unlock with restrictions. It looks like they changed from red to blue on the map.

My office/warehouse is right beside a city airport. NFZ pops up if I turn my Mavic Pro Platinum on. I still have had to make a couple of flights over my buildings to check roof repairs and storm damage. When I get the NFZ warning I go to start the props as normal and a message appears on my...

The metric system makes sense in that the math is easier but it is as arbitrary as the imperial system. The actual definition of a metre is: "The distance travelled by light in vacuum in 1/299792458 second."

Incredible shot. We see lots of osprey at our place on Edisto. This looks familiar, where were you flying?

That makes me nervous, just seeing a vehicle that close to the edge.

Probably because these deer were fenced in. Their first instinct was to run but there was a barrier. A drone sounds like a swarm of bees to some animals and they want to get away. Not really cool except to heard cattle or sheep maybe.

Do not put your drone in a cooler with ice packs or anything else wet. You do not need the added moisture or the sudden change from cold to hot when you remove it.

That's a nice thought; thinking that DJI has customer support.
