    Cruise Conundrum - Take drone or leave drone home?

    Celebrity which of course is part of Royal Caribbean also has a very reasonable drone policy… we took a cruise in 2018 in New Zealand and Australia. They confiscated my drone and told me I could pick it up at security when I wanted to use it. When I got to my room, there was a call from...

    2 Zoom Made a retro Tv themed promo for my new car - with a little help from M2Z

    Yeah that is a very interesting looking vehicle the Ioniq 5, not something available here in the states. And it comes with Apple CarPlay, not something available in the Tesla's...too bad! I just looked up the price of a kilowatt hour in London and it's 17.1 p or about $.23 here… I'm paying...

    2 Zoom Made a retro Tv themed promo for my new car - with a little help from M2Z

    What is that theme music from the 1960s live action puppet shows called fireball XL 15? Also what can you tell us about this electric car and why you chose her over a Tesla? Does it have any self driving? What's the range and why did you pay for it? Great video good job

    Lost/crashed drone found...

    Hi Photo2be Hi from Arizona in the USA… I had a similar circumstance that was during the summer and no snow it was involved… Flying my old Mavic pro and the bulging battery apparently caused the battery to disengage from the drone. I'd flown about 300 feet above a canyon in a forested area of...

    Cruise Conundrum - Take drone or leave drone home?

    TL;DR..... tell the cruise line you're canceling and book with another cruise line that offers a reasonable policy for drones. Marty I ran into the same thing when we took our cruise in December 2018 from Sydney to Auckland. We had originally booked on Princess and when I read the manifest...

    Mavic Pro resurrection after 8 mo. in wilderness

    Regarding the fogging issue… Do you have a filter currently on the lens?… For about six months I thought I had an internal fogging problem when I finally discovered that I had a scratched filter that was not visible to the eye but at certain angles to the sun, gave a foggy appearance to the...

    Hello From Locked Down Melbourne!

    Hi Thomas I live in Ahwatukee, AZ and until about a week ago I flew the mavic pro, for 3 years. About a year ago I started getting some battery swelling. Of course I read in the forums about the problems that can cause. But stupidly, I kept flying. Last weekend I believe the swelling popped out...

    Battery problem in Mavic Pro

    chicarron I had the same problem last week. My Mavic is 2 yrs old. One battery showed charged, but would not run when attached to Mavic. Tried charging again and got a red LED on the battery. When I removed it I noticed it was slightly bulging. The other 2 batteries have been fine, but have the...

    Las Vegas Airport - Drone Flying Over Plane

    Well there is a name at about 10 seconds into the video at the top of the screen… If you go to YouTube you can find a channel of his with three videos and one of them is from a racing drone flying around playground posted in July of last year.

    Las Vegas Airport - Drone Flying Over Plane

    The problem it's not the potential damage to a commercial plane, but the public's perceived danger. And that will result in more restrictions, higher fines making the liability for most recreational drone pilots too prohibitive. The public already has a very negative perception of drones… they...

    Drone flies over commercial airline landing in Las Vegas-- not a Mavic?

    This is not good, it will get all sorts of attention the Drone Pilot community does not need. I'm posting here, as it doesn't look like a DJI product or a Mavic from the controller footage posted. Anyone recognize what type of drone it might be? I hope it's fake, but it looks like a good...
