Go to your account (top of the page next to the envelope icon) and then select subscriptions. Make sure the daily is selected. Mine used to be unselected once in a while for some reason as well, but now it's been fine for at least a year. Once you know where to find it, it's pretty simple to...

Basically, politics, it's all part of the anti-Chinese thing. They think the Chinese are intercepting our videos and pictures I guess, and are looking at all of the not so interesting places I go to. Don't tell them about the computer cameras, trail cams, door bell cameras, dash cams, and all...

Ddon't take-off from steel surfaces (such as vehicles) or surfaces that probably contain steel (concrete has rebar or wire) inside them. It will mess with the compass on the drone, after take-off your ok, it's just during startup is no good. Make sure your drone is set for "return to home" on...

Good question, it would seem to make sense. You can get brightly colored skins or a wetsuit, but why should you need to. As far as VLOS goes, a set of strobes I've found make a big difference. I have some firehouse strobes in red, green, and white which work very well.

I have my max wind speed set for 20 MPH at 100 ft in my UAV Forecast app. That would be for wind speed or gust. What model of drone you have and it's maximum speed would make a big difference. I have a Mavic 2 Zoom which can easily exceed 20 MPH even in normal (P) mode. You have to be sure your...

They didn't update Pilot PE to work with the remote ID like they did with GO4. You could use Litchi or Drone Deploy for your mapping project. I don't know for sure about Drone Deploy but I know the latest version of Litchi does work fine after the remote ID update. You could create your mapping...

I agree with all the answers KBF posted. The entire anti-Chinese thing is ridiculous. What about everything else with cameras on that are made in China. How about dashcams, doorbell cams, computers, phones, and on and on. It all goes along with the "be very afraid" thing, and everybody's out to...

Do a couple of searches for the DJI RM500 controller. Maybe ebay or just a Google search.

Mine works fine.

And the price is?

When I updated mine I reversed two letters and tried to change it but it wouldn't let me edit it. I just deleted it and put it in again as a new aircraft. It took it fine that way.

I believe the Appstore app has to be on the device, and you simply log into the Appstore app with the same ID & Password you use on Amazon for everything else. The Appstore on your device (in this case smart controller) also checks your app you download and keeps them up to date or lets you know...

I've been running litchi on the smart controller with my Mavic 2 Zoom for at least 3 years and it works perfectly. I downloaded it from the Amazon Appstore which was on the smart controller right from DJI when I got it. If the Appstore isn't on yours it can easily be downloaded and installed on...

I would think the reason folks would use Dronehacks and so on, would be to get around regulations. So why would those folks worry about RID as well, I'm one of those crazy people who actually try to follow the rules. I don't know anything about Dronehacks and maybe there's a good reason for it...

You need an app to decipher location, but they can be downloaded and installed free from playstore, Appstore, and so on. Drone Scanner and Drone Sentinel are two of the apps that come to mind, but there may be others. As for range of signal, it depends normally on how high the antenna is...
