    Any other way to immatriculate your drone more elegantly than stupidly engraving the plastic or writing on it with permanent ink pen?

    decalgirl.com makes vinyl FAA registration labels. $6.99 gets you a sheet of white, silver and black labels. Enough for multiple drones.

    New skin improved visibility and custom

    Left is my MPP and right is my MA2. I got both from DecalGirl. The MPP skin went on pretty easy. The MA2 skin was a little more difficult but not terribly so.

    Luminar 4

    Has anyone used this to edit photos taken with their DJI? If so, is it any good? Thanks in advance!! Joe

    Test flight ended in Drone Confrontation :-(

    So here's my story. I'm in Hawaii flying my drone out over the ocean taking video and pictures of my wife and daughter pushing each off a paddle board. All of a sudden some lady comes up and is taking video of me with her phone. She asks if that's my drone out there and I said yes. She then...

    Close Encounter with Manned Aircraft - Flight Log Link

    I live in Alaska and there's a ridiculous amount of planes here. They fly over my house daily. Every lake is a runway and everyone's backyard is a runway. Most pilots here though stay above 500' so as long as I'm at or below 400' I'm ok, mostly. I usually stay lower and keep my head on a...

    RC no connected Mavic AIR 2 to Huawei P30 Pro and Huawei 20

    The spying/hacking apps on the DJI and Huawei are conflicting!! :eek::D

    Mavic 1 Pro VS Mavic Air 2...upgrade or downgrade?

    I've got about 3 or 4 flight hours here in Alaska so far. Stability has been pretty good so far in the wind. I've only flown with 9MPH gusts so far but it was really stable compared to my MPP. I did notice some issues with it when flying above a river on tripod mode. I didn't feel any gusts...

    Crash damage to gimbal

    I think the MA2 is so new that there won't be a lot of info out there yet. If you have DJI Refresh it shouldn't be a terrible wait but with the current world situation it's probably anyone's guess. Sorry to hear you crashed it and are missing out. Hopefully the wait isn't terrible and you can...

    Should I return my new drone?

    As some of the others said there's a lot of good video and photos to be had when your drone is in LOS. I don't worry to much about being beyond LOS as long as I can seen the screen and know where I'm going. I ordered some of the strobes and I plan on using those because even though the drone...

    Two sides to every situation

    Flying his drone in all directions doesn't really indicate he's violating anyone's privacy. Maybe he's planning escape routes for when the cops come. I fly my drone over my neighborhood all the time but I'm not hovering over anyone's home or peaking in windows. Now I'm not a convicted felon...

    One word

    Thanks. I have a few conference calls today. After those are done I'm going over to get some video of the progress on my new house. I'm going to try H.264 and see how that turns out. I normally use MP4 on my MPP and have no issues. I'm guessing that either the SD or my computer does not...

    Charging hub

    That's the one. He beat me to it.
