You will be disappointed with the inexpensive tab a models. My 2019 sm-t290 just barely worked. Then when I ran a screen recorder.....forget it. Couldn't process the data. Back in the box it went. Save yourself some grief and save up for something proven to work. Ken

I'm in a similar situation with proximity to an airport. I've never had the first step transfer to the drone automatically. I always do the second step manually. Lately I've seen the first step go through and then not show at the transfer screen. I go back and do the first step again and it...

You guys are remembering the second step to unlock is to transfer the license to the drone? Right? Under the safety tab......

Hello, If everything is operating correctly and you have sufficient satellite connections, you should be able to fly pretty darn close to a blue geofence. The drone will actually stop and won't go in one unless it's unlocked (which is a topic on its own). The warning you're getting from the...

Yes agree. I am not confused in the least about what just happened.?

Regarding my contact by the FAA: I had a 20 minute call with the FAA today, based in San Jose, CA - USA. The guy was fairly casual and friendly but the undertone of authority was definitely there. He said the YT video complaint was actually for flying into restricted airspace. He watched my vid...

I must have watched 50 of those exact videos prior to spending the money. The first time I saw "VLOS" I thought great! I've got a perfect line-of-sight for 2 miles out. Would have been great if the FAA drone zone would have had some big red letters like "MUST MAINTAIN EYE CONTACT AT ALL TIMES"...

Bearing in mind I haven't actually had the conversation with them at this point, they sent this rather nice explanation of their position. Be a jerk with them and it wont end well. Pretty straightforward.

Yes I agree with everything you said. My bad for not looking deeper into the definition of VLOS. I got caught up in all the hype and the tech. It doesn't help that there are 100s of vids out there showing the same violation. I'm pissed at myself not the feds. Thanks for the feedback.

Email off YT account.

So I got contacted by the FAA because "they received a complaint that one of my YT videos showed flight beyond VLOS". Someone actually ratted me out for flying over empty countryside. Ironically the purpose of the video was showing how to use the laanc system and unlocking dji geo zones. We're...

I turn on my drone and plug it in to my laptop, cut and paste. Or, you can remove the SD card and use a reader. Either way I haven't had any problems at all getting the files off the drone. Are we misinterpreting your message?

I realize I'm late to the talk but just wanted to say that the 2019 tab a didn't work for me. Even all stripped down it just couldn't handle the job consistently. If you want to run a screen recorder during flight......forget it. Not enough ram or video power. Too bad too.....definitely bright...

You're in TO? I'm up the street in Paso Robles. Love my MA2....big fun. Enjoy.

It really depends on what environment you're in. Flying in the open I can easily pass the PSR using the 5.8ghz yagis. What i don't like is the increased tendency to go from 4 bars to 2 to disconnect in just a few seconds. They're very directional. For the money just get a set and try them? Check...
