As someone else mentioned, that varies by location. The zoning for a given area will play a role as well. For example, we live in a residential area with a few farms sprinkled about. Twenty years ago, however, this area was all farms and was never re-zoned. Thus, it is still agriculturally...

Personally, I rarely get involved in anything unless it involves something that is harming someone or could be reasonably construed to result in harm. For example, if I see someone's dog off-leash at the walking trail I don't call the police to report a violation of the leash law. If the dog...

I'm just going to ignore your foray into an inappropriate political discussion and address your reference to the ducks. Feeding the ducks: (a) creates a nuisance and (b) is unhealthy for the ducks (since virtually everyone feeds them bread). Why you should never ever feed bread to a duck

As a non-professional, I would be thrilled w/ that from a drone camera.

I primarily fly for fun. Occasionally, I will also fly to get footage as part of animal rescue to document animal cruelty/neglect that occurs beyond the view of the street. That footage isn't enough legal ammo on its own, but it's enough to get law enforcement access to the property.

The bottom line is that DJI should have just extended the coupon in the first place as it's a matter of basic customer service. I've only had my DJI drone a short time and thus far my experience has been very poor.

It's probably just a difference in amount/type of dunnage.

Most states in the US do not have laws that prohibit drone pilots from photographing private property. Since the police did not give any indication that they suspected the individual of a crime, he was under no legal obligation to provide ID. There is no legal obligation to comply with an...

Let's be real: the law has never stopped police from doing whatever the heck they feel like doing.

Yep. According to one DJI rep in an interview I read, the parts needed for both operation and proper heat dissipation with the current tech would have required more space than is available in the Air.

And rightfully so. It isn't funny and it isn't right. If someone even reached for a gun with my dog as the target, I'd have half my clip unloaded and probably be in prison afterwards. Don't be a scumbag; everybody loses.

Drop just had the Fly More package available for $899, but the sale was over quickly (so quickly that I missed it).

+1. I'm an avid hiker and backpacker and though I rarely lose a phone GPS signal entirely out in the woods, it drops out pretty often. My handheld Garmin 60CSx, on the other hand, never loses a signal no matter where I am. I don't know exactly where the quality of the Air's GPS lies in...

Well this is disappointing to read. :(

According to one article I read, the author posed this question to a DJI rep. He was told that the Occusync requires more space and generates more heat, both of which posed issues for a drone of this size at this time. If that's really the case, then it might be a couple years before we see a...
