    Zipline Testing Local Drone Deliveries.

    The docking station for these drones is futuristic! Thanks, for sharing.

    China Swats Down American Drone Manufacturers.

    This is a shame. The crazy thing is even if everyone needing a new enterprise level drone tried to buy a Skydio X10, the supply from Skydio isn't even in the ballpark of what is needed. I bought a Matrice 4E the day it came out because I felt like this would be the last DJI drone I would ever...

    What We Can Expect From The DJI Mavic 4

    I saw a crazy video where the gimbal must of rotated to make it appear that the drone turned upside down. It was from the X DJI leaker guy. If DJI gets banned, it will be years before any US company will be able to offer these incredible drones that somehow DJI keeps pumping out, model after...

    DJI Mavic 3 Thermal + Eagle View Aerials 2600 Nit Tablet As a Gift

    If you don't mind, I have some questions. How much time is left on Care, and what type of Care? Basic, Plus? Did you receive and activate the free Standard Maintenance on this and how long has the drone been activated? What brand spotlight? Thank you in advance!

    How flying a drone led to an arrest....

    I do not know the answer. But I would bet that he does not have a waiver.

    How flying a drone led to an arrest....

    Our State Police use Aerial Armor for tracking drone flights. New Jersey is very flat, so they can see drone flights at crazy ranges from where the unit is setup. They will setup a unit if requested by other agencies for special events. I have seen the reports it produces and was able to see and...

    Autel robotics thermal drone, any good?

    OP, for your use case, the Autel Lite Enterprise will more than meet your needs. If you wanted in the future to do other use cases, you may run into trouble. If you wanted to expand into infrared inspections, make sure that this new model works in Autels proprietary thermal inspection software...

    How fast have you gotten your Mavics to include all series?

    Very soon! Although I will venture into manual mode with a homebuilt unit with O4. The Avata is needed for work, so I don't want to risk it.

    How fast have you gotten your Mavics to include all series?

    I just recently went into settings on my Matrice 4 E and upped Normal and Sport mode to the maximum settings allowed. It did allow me to set Sport mode to 33 meter/second or 73.8 mph. While it did not go 73.8 mph even with a decent tailwind, it did go 68 mph. This was with the low noise...

    Another RID question. Ugh.

    OP make sure your serial number starts with 1581 and you can obtain this several places on your drone if it came with RID from the factory, or in your settings if you bought your Mavic 3 before RID was standard. So you should be answering Yes to RID. It is Standard RID. Place the full serial...

    Another RID question. Ugh.

    If you are using the newest firmware you will definitely will be transmitting RID. It was only drones made before a certain date that needed a RID firmware update. I use the Drone Scanner app on Android and it has always worked. It picks up DJI drones, and Ruko and Holy Stone RID modules...

    Crash on waypoint mission

    Are you sure you did not change anything in the waypoint mission. Even with the drone's GPS inaccuracy of 1 to 5 meters or more in some cases, the flights are not lining up with each other at all. I have done waypoints with non-RTK drones and for the most part they are very, very similar. If...

    How flying a drone led to an arrest....

    Well the FAA does not have any reasonable ability to enforce drone regulations and uses law enforcement to help out. If you don't give ID, how can they possibly report you. Part 107 says you must present upon request an ID. I think they only arrested him to ID him and inconvenience him. I also...

    Miami Beach Police Deploy Drones During Spring Break.

    Most public safety agencies fly under Part 91 with a Certificate of Authorization that could include OOP, BVLOS. But a recent addition is flying under Part 107 with a First Responder Waiver.

    107.7 Inspection, testing, and demonstration of compliance.
