    Could you please? And thanks for the advice. Had no idea that could happen. I normally am shooting events so im under 100 feet. Thanks so much and so glad my drone isn't broke. First time that's happened in 5 years.

    How do you feel about launching from parking lots and sidewalks?

    I have to take off in both situations (Parking lot and sidewalk) on a weekly basis. Give yourself plenty of room, give right of way to anyone walking/drivng by, and above all fly safe. After that is no different than taking off from anywhere else. And if for whatever reason it does a RTH be...

    Are you a drone scold?

    Are you a drone scold?

    I agree we are not the "Drone Police". If they seem friendly maybe but overall people are not fond of other people telling them they cant do something - especially if it is not affecting them directly, You don't pull over cars over who are speeding do you? Let FAA and the police do their jobs...

    Flicker In My Mavic Pro 2

    I did not have ND filters and was flying manual exposure. Normally I see it and to your point just rotate around to avoid the sun. But today seemed like it was more a problem than ever before. So ( and I will test tomorrow thank you so much) just drop my shutter speed if I see it happening again.

    Flicker In My Mavic Pro 2

    So prop shadows hitting the lens...ok thats good I guess. I was kind hoping it was. Maybe just me but I was shooting all around a path with people etc and it showed up alot more than I have ever seen before. Normally I am shooting about the same time just never had it show up that much. Thank...

    Drone turning on by itself in case

    Drone turning on by itself in case

    I agree I have never had any drone start on its own. That scary and dangerous. I would be shocked if it was the battery unless something in the case is hitting it like my case doesnt have a a flat pattern it has cones any MAYBE if it was a super tight fit? I would take it out of the case and...
