    Seattle man imprisoned for reckless drone flying!

    Or not. I am personnaly repsonsible for my actions and I don't need a government to make me be responsible. It's people who think LAW are what makes right, that has got us in this mess in the first place. Don't be a statist, it's not a good color on a man.

    Seattle man imprisoned for reckless drone flying!

    Sigh... THIS is how our hobby goes away. Always running to big mommy government and telling and whining about ****. Grow up and stop letting the government into your buisness. SMH.

    Autopilot for Mavic - Does it work without network connection?

    Autopilot is very responsive to inputs, if that's a feature you're looking for I would engage them on it. The developer actually is available for travel to teach the program so it is an actively managed program. Just be ready to invest in a fair amount of storage. built in storage for Ipads is...

    Autopilot for Mavic - Does it work without network connection?

    If you are in a WIFI and CELL denied area Autopilot will not be your best choice. In this case manual flight will probably be your best/safest option.

    Autopilot for Mavic - Does it work without network connection?

    OP, DodgeP got it right. However you do not NEED the map to plan routes or autopilot functions. It certainly helps, Best bet is plan at home with that Wi-fi then go to site and intiate flight plan. The other option that is more dynamic is to just hotspot your phone and get that data onsite to...

    Besides all the legal mumbo-jumbo, Tall buildings have very turbulent wind velocities that cannot be anticipated surrounding the top and sides of the building.

    How do you guys deal with FedEx deliveries?

    Call FEDEX, explain your situation, pre-sign for the package over the phone, AND ensure they called the delivery agent to confirm that the signature is not required at delivery anymore. i've done it several times, but lately I just wait at home, salary work has a few little perks.

    Where do you store your batteries

    In the case with my Mavic, I tend toward the not overly worried side of things. I've had various styles and sizes of Lipo's for decades and not a single one of them has ever given my problems. Worst that happens, my Mavic goes up with the batteries and they give me a new one under warranty.

    What features would we want in a Mavic 2.0?

    Just the ability to switch out cameras and 20% larger platform to handle a larger battery. Everything else seems great. Sent from my iPad using MavicPilots

    Getting over the initial insecurities and self-consciousness...

    I put it up for its first flight in a open field becuase usually the commercials always make something look better than it is. Well, after years of flying prop-rc this thing is so solid that its kinda boring. I was so confident in it's ability I handed the controls with no coaching to a local...

    Florida fliers: Don't publicly post aerial pictures or videos of others' private property

    I don't know about you but it may be a 4k camera but there is no way I can "observe such persons with sufficient visual clarity to be able to obtain information about their identity, habits, conduct, movements, or whereabouts."
