    'An expensive event’: 50 drones plunge into Swan River during sky show fail

    Well, if I ever go to one of those "drone" shows.... I am going to bring my fishing net... and see if I can bag one.

    Tripltek Cricketwireless Data Only Plan.... NOOoooo... or maybe....

    My sincerest apologies dear sir... no I am not trolling you. You are mistaken as I have no interest in you personally. I do have interest with the Tripltek and you keep popping up and I follow Tripltek to resolve any issues. Best regards on your flying.

    Tripltek Cricketwireless Data Only Plan.... NOOoooo... or maybe....

    I have seen numerous posts by you stating that the Tripltek is worthless. You seem to be on a mission to discredit the company. Your comments are an exact copy on your mission to abuse the company. On numerous posts. Stop your rant.... I have seen all your posts, same ol' same ol' We buy the...

    Tripltek Cricketwireless Data Only Plan.... NOOoooo... or maybe....

    I have ATT hotspot and Verizon as previously mention on the board here. And have tested those sims in the Tripltek and no problems. I thought I would give Cricketwireless data only a try. Went through all the "hoops" explaining to them to set it up as a Samsung Note 20... got an Samsung IMEI...

    NEW S2 Camera setup

    Also... you don't actually need to fly to take a picture or video. Connect the drone to the controller... as you normally would... And take a picture or video to test. I always suggest placing the drone on a hard surface... particularly if you are inside. That is don't just lay the drone on a...

    Tripltek Connection Issues

    I had a situation similar... about 3700 feet out. Lost signal, RTH activated. At the time I was on flat ground, there were some trees between me and the drone. But the drone was probably 30 feet off the ground. As the drone approached the set RTH 180feet above ground my signal came back...

    If you might share what was suggested for ATT. thanks... (I might be changing the Verizon sim for ATT prepaid).

    DJI low noise props

    Ok... so finally got to test the Master Air Screws today. Not an extreme test as I am on the border of a restricted area. And I don't have experience in that situation.. I am completely mobile so flying in this exact location hasn't been done before. Just a warning in the Fly app... actually...

    DJI low noise props

    I have been wondering about these for awhile now... this is my first drone and understood they were on the "loud" spectrum. And flying at 200 feet or more still noisy. The "tests" on Youtube showed that the decibel readings were about the same on a sound meter. But the pitch was...

    Remote ID

    I wouldn't get too worked up about it... I'm sure it will sort out. 20 years ago I flew RC helicopters... some as big as six foot rotor diameter. No gps... stabilization... etc etc etc as were the planes at the time. Technology has evolved that flying is so easy entrance into the market has...

    Amazon drone delivery

    .... we keep hearing about Amazon and Walmart and drone home delivery. As we all know how we check our favorite app to check if we are in a "legal" fly zone, and the many discussions here that have been made here.. All this "drone home delivery" has me both laughing and pondering in dismay...

    Remote ID

    I think a lot of information at this point is speculative... as to cost and actual modules. A few weeks ago I was researching the topic, can't find the link this morning... but one company in the Czech Republic was starting to make on... at least an affordable one. But I think that was...

    RTH Air 2S Question

    I am new also... so Meta4 (and others) knowledge will far exceed mine. When you are new there's a lot of info to digest and retain, especially when flying. Here is a video that might help... with RTH for further flights... While Meta4's above suggested will be more precise.... not sure if you...

    Foldable Extended Landing Gear

    although probably not available yet for the Mini 3 pro, if you can wait... I imagine they will be produced. I have these for the Air 2s and I like them alot.. https://www.amazon.com/SYMIK-Retractable-Extension-Completely-Accessories/dp/B08M9TX2H5
