I was told today about a work around. I launched the M2P with the DJI GO 4 app and as it was hovering, I closed the app and opened the GS Pro. The GPS part of the preflight check was a little troublesome so I moved the drone higher and did the preflight again. All green and proceeded with the...

I am trying to get into mapping but it seems very difficult when you have a DJI Mavic 2 Pro - my only drone. I am trying to use DJI GS Pro but I still haven't got across the board green on the preflight check - still missing the GEO unlock part. Also, trying to learn the Litchi app. Anyone...

I read that the senate was going to vote on this yesterday. Has this happened and what was the outcome?

Remote ID compliance postponed by the FAA until March 16, 2024. Now DJI has to step up with the firmware update.

I doubt the DJI engineers give the CSRs any regular updates. They may be making progress but until they have something significant, they won't update anyone. I work with engineers in broadcasting and that's how they are.

The second scenario is the easiest, I think, for the FAA to just push the deadline. I do hope DJI is able to provide a firmware update well ahead of when they said they could. Thanks for the perspective.

So, it would be fantastic to know which legit temporary remedy to go with to be able to comply with the FAA Remote ID ruling September deadline. There's the "wire and computer chip" looking $40 fix from Cube Pilot and there's the $200 DroneTag Beacon. I just got my drone license so I have yet...

Found another contracting website / company that seems to offer much more than just hoping to find you a freelance job one day - Connexicore. Any heard of or worked with them?

Here's are links I found from DroneDJ regarding DJI drones without Remote ID compliance. I bought my M2P 2 years ago, so it does not have the Remote ID compliance and any firmware update from DJI to bring it to compliance will not be issued until December 2023. DroneDJ advises pilots with this...

I found a contracting website today I'm sure some of you have heard of and/or dealt with. www.flyguys.com. As part of the registration process, they require the pilot download, sign, and send back a legal agreement. I am new to the world of looking for drone work. HAS ANYONE OUT THERE...

Has anyone visited jobfordrones.com? When I go to the site, google chrome give me a security certificate warning.

Just Google reviews and Better Business Bureau search.

I found a few contracting websites in my web search today. I hope this is appropriate to ask on this forum. If not, I apologize. Here's a few names. Drone Brothers, Nadar Drones, Alpha drones usa, weflyaerialmedia, isky films, droners.io. Anyone heard of these? Know if they are legit?

That sounds very intriguing! I can see using a drone as a less disruptive device to float over a site, scanning the area and documenting images and giving the project participants a more accurate picture of the landscape ahead of them. Would love to go to Australia one day soon!

When switching my Mavic 2 Pro to shoot in 4K, what format is better? MOV or MP4? I shot at a park that is lit well at night and switched between 1080P HD and 4K, but stayed with the MOV format for both. Should I change a setting on my 4K television to see the difference between HD and 4K?
