Yes I’ve been seeing these strange ‘deals’ on eBay. As a long-term user, I’ve learned to stay away from these kinds of offerings. I looked at one of the listings from above and see that there is a ‘report this item’ button (on the iPhone app). Maybe try to report it that way?

Ha ha yes. I meant I paid attention to where I could and couldn’t fly - there are wildlife and airport restrictions in the area. I got LAANC permission to fly near the airport and avoided the wildlife area altogether. I found a nice spot near the Truckee River and spent an hour taking pictures...

San Francisco Bay Area, Corte Madera Marshland.

Wow yes. Another thing to consider especially when in the mountains. Recently I was legally flying drones in the Sierras wondering what dangers lie in wait from animals. Luckily no issues but I’ll keep eagles in mind for next time.

Hi all, I just recently got into drone photography. I’m in the San Francisco bay area. I also have a pal who has a drone and we go out most weeks to take landscape pictures around the bay. I have the Mini 3 Pro and the Air 2S. I use the M3Pro for urban photography - it’s quiet and stealthy and...

Hi all. I recently took a some photos of the sun rising over local marshland. I checked my DJI map to make sure that there were no flight restrictions - none that I could see - and happily took my pics. A couple of days later I downloaded the B4UFLY app and lo-and-behold it showed the area to...
