    Ditched my Mavic 2 Zoom, ordered the Mavic Mini

    Hand catching is what turned me off.

    Saw this on the internet so it must be true

    I hate to bring up an old subject, but don't giraffes have to stay below 400 ft.?

    New Term for Drone Flying

    Of course the texters out there will shorten it to Ho Cam.

    DJI Storm: New DJI Drone

    I remember stepping up from the balsa gliders in a plastic bag to a rubber band powered plane in a plastic bag. Assembly required.

    Land with front end facing uphill, or downhill?

    Be sure the bird is facing uphill, then have one of your dumber friends hand catch it for you.

    MAVIC PRO - easy question.

    Remember, there's a lot of people on this forum, so there are no easy questions.

    Canadians: June 1's comin! - Got your Pilot's License Yet?

    Congratulations!! I thought the U.S. version was bizarre enough. Any idea if I can fly, when visiting Canada, with Part 107?

    Sorry I didn't get back to you sooner, but I didn't write that post. Happy flying.

    Ideas for drone formation flying?

    Does double vision count as formation flying?

    How do these guys fly DJI in London?

    Why can't they do drugs like normal people?

    It's not official till you brand your car....

    That car is entirely too clean.

    Hobbyist versus Part 107

    It would be a simple matter for the government to suddenly decide that there is no recreational flying of drones. That everyone must be certified. In fact, to me, this seems inevitable.

    Hobbyist versus Part 107

    All the confusing laws aside, I would recommend getting the Part 107 just because you can. Much the same reason I have a concealed carry permit. It may be tougher or impossible in the future and if you already have one, you may be grandfathered in.

    Wolf

    It's always a rush when you run into a photo op like that. Great video! I used to caretake a hunting lodge in Alaska (pre-drone days) and am still amazed at the color variations of the wolves. From black to white and everything in-between. Beautiful.

    Panos failing to start

    I had that happen to me with MP when I was very near NFZ. I was still flying, but it would not allow panos. The warning even said it was because I was near NFZ. Never had that happen before or since.
