    Dropping Pins to Fly Back to a Certain Spot

    Ok thanks. We've tried the mapping program, but it has limitations as well. Time is usually of the essance, and it takes some time to navigate thru all the menu's. Not out of the question though, We'll keep messing with it. Thank you.

    Dropping Pins to Fly Back to a Certain Spot

    Scenario is looking for an elderly person or small child who has walked away. Perform a grid type search area of a large corn field or wooded area. You can be a long ways from the home point. Come home to swap a battery, then immediately fly back to that starting point to continue the search...

    Dropping Pins to Fly Back to a Certain Spot

    Possibly….guess I don’t know how to set a waypoint then either. I’m talking about flying the drone manually too…not under a mapping type mission.

    Dropping Pins to Fly Back to a Certain Spot

    Is there a way to "drop a pin" or something similar on the map in order to mark your current location? The issue we're having is while performing a search we have to fly back to swap out batteries.....it would be nice to be able to fly back to that spot immediately and begin again, instead of...

    Propeller Interchange Question

    Probably a stupid question, but I have some props that were taken from another drone.....a Mavic 2 Enterprise. Is it worth keeping these spare props and do they interchange with the Air 2S? If not, they'll go with the Mavic 2 when it goes away, but I was just curious. Thanks guys.

    Interesting interaction with police today

    As opposed to an attorney, who you're paying to give you the advice you want to hear?.....Only to have them spend your money, arguing their advice, in court.....which is usually open to interpretation? Agreed....I'm not an attorney, and I won't give "legal advice." Just be careful of getting...

    Interesting interaction with police today

    Good interaction. His advice is spot on, and that's exactly what we tell people too. Be respectful of people and dont do stupid things just because you can. I sincerely hope that more LEO's become 107 rated. Its a benefit to both the drone community and police community.

    KC Chiefs Parade - drones everywhere

    Well, my small knowledge base says that a 107 RP can fly over or across people while between point A and B, but hovering and intentionally staying over direct contact would be frowned upon. That’s how I’ve always viewed it anyways. That said, there could absolutely be waivers granting such...

    Where to buy Batteries for the Air 2S?

    I just bought two of these refurb's too last month. Both have been great. I also start the return flight at 25% for both home and work use. At times during work we'll let it go to about 15%, but no more than that.

    Waterproof cases - have you "tested" yours ?

    At work we use the DJI hard case that comes with the Mavic 2 Enterprise, and a Seahorse case that houses the TV and other equipment. Using it last weekend in a snowstorm produced no water intrusion when the cases were sealed. Not necessarily dunking it in a river, but I was still happy. For...

    RC Pro Questions for Casting

    Wanted to post a little update….the mini hdmi to hdmi worked like a champ. Everything connected right up and produced a great image. It’s unfortunate there’s no direct cast ability though.
