I had a trip in Vietnam end of 2022, after searching all over the net and not getting a clear answer on whether I needed to apply for paperwork I just winged it. I had e-mailed using the Government website (with the help of Google translate) but never heard anything back. I was also weary of...

Hello, I'm in the process of planning a trip to Myanmar in March. As usual, searching the web & this site, I got mixed signals. Even UAV coach/Trip Advisor aren't clear. Between 2017 & 2019, some people had their drones confiscated at the airport while others went into and out of the country...

The very frequent Calibration is something I noticed lately as well. I'm still new with M2Z (~7 months or so) but recently almost every time I turn it on, I'm asked for a calibration. The second thing you mentioned, drone begins to drift & landed on plants then toppled into it from lack of...

I totally agree with the need to respect nature, specially something unique & fragile as Galapagos. My intention wasn't to intrude on wild life, more so capture the scenic beaches, sunrise/sunsets etc from a reasonable distance. I suppose I just get a bit frustrated sometimes because I can't...

Hey guys, Drone noob here. Ever since I got my drone last year, it seems that there is less & less area available to actually fly. I got a Mavic Pro 2 Zoom last year. Ended up not taking to Mexico twice (Mexico City & Cabo) bc their law says no foreigners can fly without permission, although I...

Yes, I'm above the "n" in the word San Mateo in your 2nd image. I have tried few different spots, no luck so far. If you follow the orange line of hwy 92 westward, I was able to fly shortly after Laurelwood Park (at Crystal Springs) basically last exit before hitting 280 Freeway.

I live ~6 miles away from SFO and have a smaller airport 5.8 miles to the south. My Mavic pro cannot take off. From my work, same situation, Oakland International airport in one direction & a small airport about 4 miles away, same result : cannot take off. Dji's map on my controller shows clear...

Thanks for your input guys. I bought a 4pack of filters before leaving but ended up not using any filters at all. The weather was tricky, rained almost daily with few brief gloomy, sometimes sunny breaks. We were on the island of Moorea, our hotel was right next to the airport so I had to travel...

Hello Mav Pilots. Long time lurker, first time posting. I had a question about Filters. Don't worry, I already did the search and read pretty much every thread on the topic. In fact, I did the same about 3 months ago and somehow settled on ND16 or ND32 but cannot recall as it's been some time...
