    Not a DJI... But... Oops?

    When that happened while I was driving with my father in the vehicle as a kid, my father frequently used to tell me, "well, I bet he doesn't have the guts to do that again."

    Drone uses software zoom to film Airliner landing at Vancouver International Airport (YVR). Was he too close?

    I have legally flown within a half mile of San Antonio International Airport, with proper LAANC & active ATC authorization. Had the ATC supervisors cell phone number to clear the flight before I launched and after I landed. I was NOT operating directly in the line of flight path for the approach...

    Sheriff at my door this morning.

    I spend a lot of time on the NextDoor app, proactively responding to anybody that mentions the word drone. I have been posting my own videos on there and emphasize the fact that I try to avoid flying in my neighborhood very often, just for the very reasons that they are complaining about. I'm...

    Sheriff at my door this morning.

    You're looking at white or red for the strobe is visible for three statute miles. Not green. I tend to use a white LumeCube anti-collision strobe on my drones. But I also add additional LED navigation lights for easier orientation as well. Originally took a course through 107waivers.com to get...

    Sheriff at my door this morning.

    You are correct that it will not approve a flight by recreational pilot in a restricted area. But if the OP was in an unrestricted area, he did not need approval to fly.

    Sheriff at my door this morning.

    He cannot offer that service because he is not a 107 pilot. He can post photos for fun, but he cannot offer photos for somebody who's planning to sell their house, etc. Otherwise, that's a great idea. But I would encourage the OP to go ahead and get his 107 certification. It opens up a lot of...

    Need suggestion for PC Video editing software

    I'm running Wondershare Filmora X editing software. They have lots of tutorial videos and are actively adding new features. Daniel Batal has a great YouTube channel where he helps show folks how to do stuff, including frequent live sessions where he answers questions from the viewers. Cost was...

    Mavic Prop guards

    I have both drones and I'm going to bet you that they do not. The legs / arms are different sizes.

    I am a new Mavic 2 Pro owner and new to MavicPilots. I want to use a tablet, but not sure which is best.

    My iPad Mini 4 (bought it refurbished from Apple, with warranty) has been one of the best decisions I've ever made, other than going with the Mavic 2 Pro of course. I've got 5 batteries and it will last way beyond the flight time for all batteries. The controller might run low before I run out...

    Video Editing Software Recommendations

    I'm using Wondershare Filmora 9 for my editing. It was about $60 for a lifetime subscription.

    New DJI Go updates, now constant nag screen when above 400feet agl.....

    When I was using my Android tablet or Galaxy S7 / S9 cellphone, I could "roll back" using that APKPURE website. But I recently upgraded to an iPad Mini 4 tablet. Aren't Apple devices restricted to installing software from Apple's app store? I'm getting the nags about exceeding distance, both...

    I am a new Mavic 2 Pro owner and new to MavicPilots. I want to use a tablet, but not sure which is best.

    I have used a TeClast Pro 8 android tablet from gearbest for the last year or so, with a tablet holder for my Mavic Pro and then my Mavic 2 Pro. But I found that with the Mavic 2 Pro Controller, for some reason, the tablet was drawsing more power and drained the battery faster than it did with...

    Charging Hub

    I've got the same Fstop charger. Works great, no problems. I've got one for my MP and one for my M2P.

    My neighbor keeps calling the police

    Does your area have any drone clubs, like on Facebook? In San Antonio Texas, where I'm at, we've got several police officers as part of our group of 1,500 members. Any time we have a minor squabble like this, we asked one of them to help us out. Otherwise, in three years, feel free to move to...
