    MAPPING & ROOFING INSPECTIONS

    For the past 3 months, I've been doing imagery data collecting of a construction site with my DJI M2P for a company that does post processing mapping. Can the same skills and software be used for aerial roof inspections?

    Inquiring into compatible mapping apps to use with DJI Mavic 2 Pro

    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...

    Inquiring into compatible mapping apps to use with DJI Mavic 2 Pro

    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...

    A.P.: What you need to know about the DJI drone ban in the U.S.

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

    REMOTE ID IN MAVIC 2 PRO

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

    REMOTE ID IN MAVIC 2 PRO

    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.

    REMOTE ID IN MAVIC 2 PRO

    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.

    REMOTE ID IN MAVIC 2 PRO

    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...

    DRONE CONTRACTING WEBSITES

    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?

    REMOTE ID IN MAVIC 2 PRO

    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...
