    Picture saving to SD card but not to phone.

    On my Mavic Pro I have not had any issues with saving to my phone. There are usually 2 pics, a low res Cache and then the full resolution pic. However on my new Air2S nothing saves. However I can open the DJI fly app on my phone and the videos save and I can download to my phone but there are...

    Always the same question.. update or not?

    The issue I have with updates is they do not clearly define all the issues/concerns that are expected to be fixed with the update. Same goes with smart phones. So you have to take it on good faith that the brain trust at DJI has found some areas of concern and have addressed them but just how...

    THAILAND

    Yeah. Here you can be alone easy. Might see a few farmers. Thai country folk are super nice people. Kids always want to learn English. There is a HUGE Buddha right on Hwy1 in Lamphun. You can stop about a 1/4 away and fly by it. You can't miss it

    THAILAND

    Yeah, the weather is very unpredictable right now. It is pouring where I am right now. Typical flooding. Awesome lightning shows. You know there are so many places to just pull over and fly. I drive along and see a place and set up and do a video. I just got the ND filters 2 weeks ago and flew...

    THAILAND

    I am currently in Nakhom Ratchasima (about 10 hrs South east of you). I will not be back home (which is near CM) until Tuesday next week. I haven't flow in CM at all. Chiang Rai is beautiful, especially the tea fields. Right now if you head outside the area south to Lamphun or Lampang the rice...

    THAILAND

    I live here in Thailand and I have not registered my drone and do not plan on it. As Pixl and I mentioned, just be cool and fly smart and you will have ZERO issues. Some tips. I fly extremely low profile meaning I set up way off away from folks and fly into the location I want to vid and fly...

    I'd say bring it. Like anywhere in the world, use common sense when flying it, especially around temples and BKK

    Samsung S7 to S6 Edge, Cannot connect to S6 Edge

    Mine is the latter, App opens, but will not connect. I have been using my S7 now but would like to dedicate my S6 for it.

    Now... I hate my Mavic

    I have been using Samsung S6 edge ( when I first got my Mavic) to my S7 (non edge) now. Never ever had an issue. While I am not a tech guru by any means but logically it might make sense issues occur based on how many apps people have installed on their phone and how many are running all the...

    Head out towards Gilroy/San Martin/Lake Anderson/Coyote park Be aware of the small airport. In the City area avoid it, everyone will call the police. Places out towards Newark on the bay side. Good Luck.

    How long before preventative laws make drone flying as boring as everything else again?

    As with all special hobbies its not the majority that creates the issues, its always the minority. Been the case for every hobby I have taken up to now. Always a handful that ruin it for the rest.

    How long before preventative laws make drone flying as boring as everything else again?

    In the end I will fly as I have never been a conformist and never will be. I am very responsible, respectful, common sense flyer. At this point I have not had any issues. I will fly until I get a violation or it becomes a burden then I will move onto another hobby.

    How long before preventative laws make drone flying as boring as everything else again?

    I think you covered it. Like anything fun, you have to jump in early to have fun with it until people whinge and complain and the laws, rules and regs make it too much a burden to own and use. Seen it on virtually anything, Paint ball, Remote gas powered airplanes, Mountain biking, ATV riding...
