If it is all the same, I'll take the chance that the drone police won't have a scale on them when they come to bust me.

Received and flew my M4P today. Tried to crash it but I couldn't. The omnidirectional sensors really do their job very well. Very impressed by this little guy.

About an hour...

Since you describe yourself as a recreational pilot and had no intention of selling your photographs at the time you took them, I'd say you are in the clear. Especially since you are not receiving compensation for them.

I'm laughing because the way you painted this incident with words was so nicely done. You definitely have skill. Otherwise, I am sorry to hear about your drone. Send it in to Rob at Thunderdrones. He can get you airborne again in record time. Reasonably priced too.

Instead of setting it on fire, I'll give you $100 for it.

Real quick. Shipped my Mavic from CA to GA and had it back fixed in under a week.

I routinely fly in the Mojave desert north of Edwards. Once I had to do an emergency landing on a dirt road about 1/3 of a mile away. The map was very good at helping pin point the down drone. Still, I drove right past it twice before spotting it. Yeah, yellow would probably be better than gray...

I recently had an opposite problem. I was taking some video of my family at a vista spot and had some people intentionally walk into the shot and start hamming it up for the camera. They were jumping around and waving at the drone. Made it hard to get the shot I wanted but at least they were...

California poppy's. Took this last week on the Tejon Ranch in So Cal.

My daughter has a Mac and by far the Mac is easiest for me. I just give her the video files and she does all the work.

I logged on this morning specifically to give a shout out to Rob at Thunderdrones and found this thread. Anyhow, it happened. I crashed my Mavic and needed to send it in for repair. Last Saturday, I packed the Mavic in a USPS flat rate box and shipped it from CA to GA. Two days later on Monday...

Nice footage. Nice choice of music too.

Short video of our recent trip to Coron Philippines. My 16 year old daughter chose the music and did all the video editing.
