    Drone Pilot Age.

    Yup. Understood. Maybe it was arrogant. I was proving a point, and of course, yes, there are other ways to have gone about it. That's me though. That's what I do. ? You should hear the talks I have with my therapist lol. o_O ?? Tell your kids to never strive to be smarter than the next...

    Air 2 Range,

    What is your CORRECT altitude? Are you really flying at 600-900 feet? I don't see a need to go further than 2KM though. I'm usually less than 3k feet away.

    Air 2 Fireball Beach

    Forgot to mention. It's a long exposure running an ND 64 I think. Thanks for the love!

    Air 1 For our member Dale D

    Love it! What camera body were you using?

    Hmmm

    Welcome, from New Smyrna Beach, FL. Can you post the coordinates? Was it a seaplane? Have fun, stay safe. Ignore Sport mode for now ? Also, make sure you have a strong satellite lock and the orientation of your drone is correct on your mini map. This will save you from using a Care Refresh...

    Air 2 Fireball Beach

    Happy Holidays Ladies and Gentlemen. Hope you and yours are safe and sound this holiday! This was taken sometime this summer, during sunset. I happened to look SE and this is what I saw. It's rain, with the setting sun casting an orange glow on it. You can also see what's known as...

    Chinese drones are spying on Americans

    https://techxplore.com/news/2020-12-satellite-sar-imagery-capture-world.amp If that kinda resolution is publicly available, imagine what's "Top Secret". DJI is not the problem, never will be.

    COMMERCE DEPARTMENT ADD DJI TO ITS ECONOMIC BLACKLIST

    I think you've said this at least 5 times in this thread... So far.

    Drone Pilot Age.

    I'm 30 and looked at it as an investment, a tool, rather than a toy. Most people my age definitely do not agree with that assessment. Also, I've got a very high IQ, something that seems to be lacking in most of the younger generation. Not trying to toot my own horn, but when I tell...

    Mavic Air 2 Controller won't Connect to my Phone

    You could try becoming more familiar with the RTH function. Take your drone 10 feet up, 100 feet away, turn off the RC. See what happens.

    COMMERCE DEPARTMENT ADD DJI TO ITS ECONOMIC BLACKLIST

    I can't imagine DJI sources many (if any) parts from the US. Maybe something stupid like screws inside the controller. This article is not saying DJI isn't allowed to sell to the USA, it is NOT saying DJI products are going to disappear... What it IS saying though, is that if DJI uses American...

    How to Judge Winds Quickly with your Drone !

    Well, they make underwater housings for $5000 Sony A7SIII's. People buy them all day long. They also make purpose built underwater cameras that cost less, people buy those too. A niche market is the easiest to capitalize on.

    Woo Hoo SpaceX, SN8 did it, well almost.

    SLS is hopefully around the corner too. James Webb... The list goes on. Areceibo (sp?) was a sad loss though. @dirkclod Speaking of SLS, there should be a hotfire test before 2021, in Stennis... No set date yet, but would be worth taking the time to try and get a "visitor pass" or...

    Woo Hoo SpaceX, SN8 did it, well almost.

    I watched it live. I was having a mild panic attack the whole time. Wondering if it was going correctly. What a rollercoaster. Could you imagine being a passenger? On one that didn't blow up of course. I wish it happened here in FL but maybe one day Super Heavy will launch and I'll be here to...
