    Air 1 South Dakota Prairie

    I so very much wish to explore the Dakotas. This past summer was supposed to be that opprotunity to see that have that chance. Sadly with COVID-19 and my picture perfect health that didn happen. We live in far Western Iowa and are Chicago transplants for the past 5 years. Part of living here...

    Hello from Illinois

    Lived in Palatine for 10 years, Wife was a Director at Little City Foundation. Great place to live in my opinion. Now in the Corn and Soybean Fields of Western Iowa. Pretty nice area to enjoy flying in. Couldn't imagine living that close to O'Hare and wanting to fly. Good Luck to You!

    Well, Remote ID is at the doorstep.

    Russ is always on top of everything in our Dronasphere. You can pretty well take it to the Bank where he is concerned. I agree with him, I think that Video and I haven't seen it is more clickbait than not. Yes Remote I.D. is coming and I don't think we can escape it. That being said a couple of...

    Georgia man accused of shooting, damaging workers' $15K drone

    You can can load out an Inspire 2 for more than that. I have a friend who’s in about 28 Grand with his. All of the Cameras and those batteries aren’t cheap at all. I’ll stay with my OG Magic Air for now. I’ll say one thing about his Inspire, he’s more than made his investment back. I help spot...

    Mavic Mini 2 (just appeared on FCC's site)

    I don’t know, I saw a familiar looking body in the background of one thread that closed that looked very much looked like a P5 to me. But hey that’s me, YMMV. PHANTOM 5!!!!!!!!!!!, LOL. I know I’m gonna get centered for this post but I had to share some positive thoughts and excitement. Love ya...

    Tablet Recommendation?

    For me it's a hands down easy choice, iPad. Either the Air, Mini or regular iPad. A 11 inch pro if you have it as well. DJI doesn't say it but my experience is that anything Apple works 10 times better than Android. I used to write for Android so it's a pain to know you need to build an App that...

    Here is it...HOW AMAZON WILL DELIVER...

    I'm sorry having a mothership kinda defeats the purpose. This is creative stupidity. Anything to get it done. Are there pilots up there flying the little ones? Even more risk. They need to stop now, like I said my new term, Creative Stupidity.

    I wish regulations were sensible but strictly enforced.

    There's so much here to tear apart but I think you've completely missed the point. These Laws or rules protect not only you as a pilot but the public. Are you the "One bad Apple"? We deal not only with our FAA Overlords but our good friends in Law Enforcement. many don't know the rules and will...

    I wish regulations were sensible but strictly enforced.

    I completely agree with you. These rules are not only here for your protection, they are here to protect the public. It's the one bad apple kinda thing. If rules are "relaxed there's always someone who will see how relaxed they really are. It's difficult enough dealing with law enforcement who...

    Mavic Mini max distance ( without modifications and boosters) CE version

    Here's the stick in the Mud. LOS??? Why is it so important to push our expensive equipment to the very max? Is it really worth possibly losing something that we highly value and love flying? By no means am I gripping or complaining, I want to know and understand. I almost lost a Phantom once...

    What was dji thinking!?

    I'm having enough joy with the Mini. Actually thinking about returning it. I like it but I'm getting bad battery life and it seems to lag which makes me nervous. Still trying it out but just not sold yet.

    Protection on props

    Just a question have you been flying with with the Gimbal guard on? It really looks like it has been on which is not good for a number a number of reasons. Also looks like if you are your mini would have been destroyed. My option just seeing the pictures, the guard is smart for the props.

    Video of Mavic Mini near Red Rock Canyon

    Due to some bad neurological issues I haven’t been around for a while but I must say this video is fantastic. The sharpness and the picture you paint are impressive. Music, my arch enemy was also very cool. I just purchased the Mini today and picking it up tomorrow at Best Buy. I’ve let my Spark...

    DroneDJ has the DJI Mavic Air 2 price and some press images

    OMG, That is the ugliest thing I've ever seen. They simply destroyed the Mavic Air. That's beyond reason, why DJI? Why? make mine a Autel EVO 2, end of Discussion. DJI fanboy no more, time to look at the rest of what is being made these days. I'm just not going to plop down my money just because...
