    TFRs around Norfolk area

    Those of you that live and operate around the Norfolk region, be advised that on Sunday October 5 there will be TFRs up all around the area. The President will be hosting a large US Navy celebration. There are also TFRs out over the water. Maybe he will be visiting ships at sea or even land on...

    New DJI drone on the scene!

    Last night my Matrice 4 E stated it had a firmware update. Before I installed I checked DJI's site to see the Release Notes. There were none. It turns out that a new drone secretly has come out. Well not totally new. There is now a Mavic 3T Advanced. It is basically a Mavic 3T with an enhanced...

    Drone Shot Down in Maine

    I saw this the other day. There are several pet finder services that show their work on Youtube. When they are successful in finding a beloved lost pet, it is such an emotional moment. To have some crazy shoot down a drone that may have been helping to reunite people with a family member is...

    Waypoints aren't very precise

    I have had much greater success with waypoints. I am not sure what your issue is. How many satellites do you have and do the trees or other buildings make the count drop? One time I made a repeating video progression using waypoints and it came out decent enough with the video being reasonably...

    Autel robotics thermal drone, any good?

    Did you get the Evo 2 640 or the Evo Lite 640? If you got the Lite this may help with your problem of wanting to only display a certain temperature range. Try the Isotherm setting. You may be able to have a temperature value or range appear a distinct color. Also try the temperature alarm.

    Mini 5 Pro RID DOC now listed in FAA database

    The Mini 5 Pro now has a RID DOC listed. So it seems like DJI may attempt to sell it in the US. We'll see if they have any luck.

    Photogrammetry software

    Web DOM Reality Capture, Capturing Reality Between the two should keep you pretty busy. For image acquisition someone else will chime in. I only use Enterprise drones where this is built-in. With the Mavic you will have to find something.

    Drone with 500g payload capacity

    The Matrice 4 Enterprise And Mavic 3 Enterprise both have available PSDK payload drop systems that integrate into the controller so that you can push an on screen button to drop. Prices for these drones are fluctuating with the trade war but I have seen the Matrice 4 for around $5K. Both could...

    UNBELIEVABLE: Drone Spotted Near Flight Path at San Diego International Airport!

    Noone is overreacting to anything. If you do not have permission to fly literally at an airport you should not. If you do, you should be held accountable. It does not matter if you in your example or the drone in the video had full control, that isn't the point. Airports are filled with...

    Do you get excited when you see a drone?

    Today the RIDER was pretty good. It picked up a drone 2 miles away that was blocked by urban landscape, a Mavic 3 Thermal. It also picked up our beach patrol monitoring the beach. Dronetag has a contest each month and the person with the longest detection wins. I think you win free LTE...

    UNBELIEVABLE: Drone Spotted Near Flight Path at San Diego International Airport!

    It is fully possible that this could of been a legit flight. We had an exercise for an airplane crash at an active Class C airport. We had an Air Space Authorization to fly there and were on an actual closed runway. Planes took off and landed the whole time on the active runway. We were at times...

    UNBELIEVABLE: Drone Spotted Near Flight Path at San Diego International Airport!

    If you build your drone and don't put Remote ID on it then Remote ID systems will not be able to track it. But high end systems track the radio frequencies given off from the drone. They won't get the detailed information like Remote ID and DJI Aeroscope (For DJI products), but will still be...

    UNBELIEVABLE: Drone Spotted Near Flight Path at San Diego International Airport!

    Remote ID sends the drones and pilots location. My local airport uses a more advanced method to track drones but anyone can download an app for free and track remote id enabled drones. Also many police agencies have capabilities like my local airport and in NJ, the state police always have a...
