5 tries for me and still no joy. Reloaded the older firmware with no problems

Very nice work. Upstate is a beautiful terrain to shoot. Used to live in Manlius. Plan to go back in a few months and get some of the historical locations.

Your analogy to the Second Amendment is appropriate as we now have well over 20,000 gun laws in the US that primarily affect the law abiding and not the criminal. To deprive law-abiding people of their freedom in an attempt to punish the criminals has never worked or been of benefit to the...

In the GO4 App for the Mavic 2Pro/Zoom there is a selectable option in the setting to enable or disable phone charging (Controler charging the cell phone). I do not use this option so I can't tell you if it works or not but it is there in the GO4 App.

The easiest way to know where the drone is facing if you can't determine this visually is to look at the heading indicator on the map view of the Go4 app. the red pointer is the front of the drone and If you are located at the place you took off from (Home Point) you simply Yaw the drone using...

I see lots of "opinions" here but none that I can see has a link or reference to an FAA document that describes the definition of a "Commercial Transaction" that requires a 107 certificate. Can someone provide such a link or direct me to a location where I can find the FAA's definition. I...

I heartily agree that stick extensions for the Smart Controller are desired.

Amazon has the Samsung EVO Select SD Cards at a great price.100mb Read/60mb write, Class 10 (3). They are reliable so far in my Mavic 2 Zoom and Pro.

So it seems that the shorter battery life would impact mission planning such as mapping and other longer missions at greater distances. The cause and effect are the same whether you are flying a small drone or a manned aircraft it seems. Physics does not care. While this may be unimportant to a...

I understand your frustration so I will ask, why are you taking the Part 107 test if you are going to fly recreationally? I realize that at some future date the FAA will in all likelihood require all UAS pilots to test but I suspect the test for recreational piloting will be somewhat less...

Don't disagree with your point of view, only answering the Part 107 test question and the logic being used or misused by the FAA.

Part 107 is, in fact, a separate test for drone pilots. You are assuming that the FAA would lessen the "Airman's Knowledge Curriculum" for drone pilots. They do not as they tend to treat every type of drone between .55 lbs. and 55lbs the same. You need to understand that the certificate you are...

It is my understanding of the FAA Regs that the drone being used commercially must be registered as a Part 107 Commercial use drome.
