Buy on present performance, not promises. If it does what you need NOW then that is what matters.

Very similar to an HOA, we agree to the rules when we join. There is the concept in America of FREEDOM. Often taken to the extreme. Half of my life is spent in a small town (pop ~4,000) in Northeast Mississippi. A moderately poor area with a poor schooling system. Up until a few years ago...

Is there a version for the Mavic Mini by another mfg?

First of all, welcome aboard. I sure wish I could have had a drone at the age of 19! But they were not available in 1970 :( I note you write you live in an HOA, do you own, rent, or live with others ? This will affect how the neighbors treat you. Many good suggestions. Definitely get quieter...

Will you put the strobe on your grandson so he doesn't get lost? :) :)

Some of us that bought the original MM don't really need many "bells and whistles". I bought my Costco deal because I've a bunch of roofs to monitor and the alternatives were not good. Getting ladders out was getting tiresome, getting a roofer to check it out was about as much as the MM...

So HE called the police about a "stolen drone"? It is VERY BAD practice to talk about retribution on public forums. It reads like IF the owner gets a flat ANY time he might try tracking you down because you threatened him. And he could be a reader of this forum, But I hope he gets what he deserves.

I view the 107 from the vantage of one that just needs pictures of the stuff I own, I want to "survey" my trees, my buildings, my crops to see how they are doing. I took several of the online "sample" 107 tests and got an average 60% score before ANY "studying". A little studying and I was...

But that $182K figure probably translates into at least $10K of attorney fees.

Darn, guess I'll give up trying to mount my Mossberg 535 under my Mavic mini.

It's a FAT limit, File Allocation Table

"Crashed" to me is a very subjective term. As I've written elsewhere I first tried flying inside with prop guards and "bumped" (sometimes fairly hard) into walls on purpose with no visible damage. Later outside I "crashed" into the brick siding and slid down the wall, again no visible damage or...

They are great insurance flying in the forest. This is all I have to fly in.

I've Stihls - 021, 660, 088, depends on how big the tree is, and then a Woodmizer LT10 to dispose of the body.

If you cut a lot of trees you probably have had a tree bite your bar and still refuse to fall. Ways to continue are usually: 1. Cut with another chainsaw 2. Cut with a bowsaw or ax 3. Remove powerhead and get another bar and chain, then continue to fall the tree. Thus many chainsaw users...
