That is exactly what I was thinking while reading the story. I bet China would have drones everywhere monitoring their population. If they could get the technology. To see if they were doing anything wrong. Like worshiping God 😜🤪😢

Startup eyes longer drone flights with remote, wireless power. https://dronedj.com/2021/10/18/startup-eyes-longer-drone-flights-with-remote-wireless-power/

I concur‼️

Welcome to The forum. I live in Terre Haute and I have only had my drone for about 2 months. The mavic Air 2 is a blast to fly and take videos and pictures. Please note that you can take still photographs and then zoom into them after you take them. The resolution is phenomenal and I think may...

[URL unfurl="tr;url] This sounds exactly what I was thinking about. It does not look very aerodynamic. I guess if you had some hot rod drones that would work better ?

I have been thinking of a game. Drones equipped with laser and laser sensors. Shooting each other. Once shot the RTH is activated. Once it lands it may return to the battle. There could be many other things added to it. I hope that anyone that could do this listens.

Looks like my Air 2 just needed a firmware update. It was great today. I got to fly over a nearby City. I got all the updates from my drone downloaded and my controller downloaded today. I really hope it continues to work good.

I'm really not getting your point. When I held the back of my phone towards the Sun, face still lit up, I could see it clearly. When I lowered it I could see almost nothing. I went ahead and bought a cheap little Hood and it was delivered today. I'll see how it does Saturday if I'm able to fly...

Today I went to fly my drone before work and kept getting "RC not connected to drone" warning. I have been scouring the site for any advice about this. The drone worked with the controller but I had no picture from the drone on my phone. I rebooted the phone. Rebooted the rc and the drone. Still...

Thank you phantomrain and MAvic_South_Oz, that's good advice I will heed and use next time I'm flying!

First day with my drone was last Friday. My first flight was in a abandoned parking lot in the middle of the city. Flying it back and forth, practicing take offs and landings, and obstacle avoidance. I did this for approximately 1 hour and a half going through three batteries. I quickly realized...

How much is the Sunnylife sunshade please?

I'm with you completely. I taught myself how to ride a motorcycle with YouTube. Then I bought 2 and am still learning after 2 years. Being 4 years younger than you, I have to work with many young people. Some people our age are quite patient. Many our age, and even more young people, do not want...

Finally got my drone off the ground for a quick test flight! Now I must mark it with the registration number. Took around 45 minutes for the firmware update. On the fly app, I'm not inside a geofence, although aloft shows that I live in restricted g airspace. So found out I don't have to mess...

Thanks for the helpful responses. I've been rather impatient wanting to fly my drone. I'd be willing to bet that if people, who were about to buy a drone, new all this beforehand, they would skip buying one entirely.?? I'm in it for the long haul so not giving up now!
