    Cropping - Process or Just Wing It?

    I suspect that you rook the photo with the intention of being an extreme wide angle panorama picture with distorted lines and no obvious focal point. So, why do you feel the need to crop it to be anything other than the panorama? If you really believe there should have been a focal point, then...

    Guarantee won´t cover it

    when exactly did the damager occur? Did you purchase it new? Who was the seller? Did you examine all of the flight logs to prove that you had no in-flight accidents? Do you have pictures of other angles to show damage? Exactly where and how have you stored it? Did you take it travelling...

    What to get? Mavic 4 Pro or Mavic 3 Pro

    Doesn't seem like a difficult decision. My rational is to always go forward; not backward. So, go for the newer technology, and not old used technology. If another drone really is important, then find a way to pay for it, or maybe another drone really isn't important.

    How to shave few grams off the Mini 5 Pro?

    Why does it really matter? Is your scale certified for accuracy? Will the government approve of your own weight meassurement?

    Canadian Registration?

    If DJI claims <250 g I would accept that; there is no need to weigh the drone. Do you ever check a consumer product to verify the weight or volume stated on the label is correct? If you see no need to verify a consumer product labeling quantity why would you think you have a responsibility to...

    As a business there are a lot of financial records to manage Is your small business making a profit? Have you been filing IRS annual income taxes to include your business? If not, they I'd say you don't have business in flying. On the other hand you could take advantage of the tax...

    US FAA regulation reference minimum height

    It is for "non-regulated" not "non-navigable". Wording does matter. Class G is uncontrolled airspace.

    Cracked Drone, advise please

    You should have detailed close-up photographs of the drone before you sold it. There is no history of cracks just happening. You'll probable just have to work out a deal with the buyer and follow eBay policy.

    Any hope for a waterlogged mini 4 pro?

    Let it air dry in a 50% relative humidity environment for a week and then see what happens.

    Reversing up and down inputs on the controller.

    Actually, flying fixed wing single engine planes is not that simple as you have control of multiple parameters. If you pull back the stick/yoke you change the angle of attack and slow the airplane and descent, as in the flare when you land or the stall when the angle of attack is too great. If...

    Error 1112

    Who was the actual seller? Was it Amazon.com or a reseller selling products on Amazon? Did you try to actually contact the reseller and explain the problem? If the seller was selling stolen property, then you recourse should be through the actual reseller, but waiting more than 2 years to...

    drone ban in Thailand

    Anyone remember how quiet the skies were after 9-11? In an emergency the FAA/government can clear the air. This could easily be extended appropriately to drones.

    Mixing Drone & hand held footage

    They don't need to share lens sizes, image dimensions or resolutions. You can even mix in still pictures. You just do it all with your video editing software to make smooth transitions and adjust views.
