    Question about Planned Flight Plans

    Try waypointmap.com for the planning part on a desktop.

    First time programming a flight on my DJI Air 2S. What should I use?

    I have an Air 3 so maybe that is why Litchi won’t work for me.

    First time programming a flight on my DJI Air 2S. What should I use?

    Haven't used it in the field yet, but waypointmap.com seems like it could do the trick. They have a free version and I've planned flights on the PC and loaded to my RC but have yet to fly a mission.

    B4UFly

    Try AirHub Portal. I think it just came out. For desktops and phones/tablets. “Airspace Link is an FAA-approved UAS Service Supplier of the Low Altitude Authorization and Notification Capability (LAANC) and is approved to provide B4UFLY Services.” “LAANC and B4UFLY are collaborations with the...

    Just picked up an Air 3 for a great price...

    It’s the same thing Big Box did to the local small business decades ago. What goes around, comes around. How’s that for curmudgeonly?

    LAANC Flight Authorization Question

    I too am about to take my Part 107 exam at the end of the month. I did the TheDroneCoach.io course and it is well worth the $49 to get the videos, PDFs and test quizzes and exams if nothing more to demystify the actual test. The true test will be if I pass the test on the 26th! I live in a...

    Using iPad as 2nd monitor with RC2

    Pretty much looks like the same solution, just with a different free app for the tablet. I still have yet had a chance to test in the field as we've had some pretty wet and stormy weather lately. I am glad I have seen the previous posts about LOC and will definitely test this at a low...

    First shots from new Drone Pilot (M3P)

    Very nice shots, Ed. I like your use of light in about every shot! I too am a landscape photographer with a new toy, er, tool to make photographs from a different perspective. Looking forward to seeing more of your work.

    Help with drones on another planet

    Maybe a scenario where the pilot would have to still be flying the big drone while the smaller one was to be flown, leaving them in need of another pilot.

    Using iPad as 2nd monitor with RC2

    This worked like a charm. Assume you could do it with an Android app.

    Suggestion on a drone for my father for Christmas.

    That's the one I got. I do like having the screen built in to the controller, and I bought a sunshade to help in sunny conditions. I also, with he help of this forum, bought cables to allow me to attach my iPad while I am flying to let myself or others see what I see on the controller when I...

    Air 3 output to RC2 and iPad at same time?

    Well I hope so, as I am following his suggestions and purchasing the USB-C/HDMI cable as well as the video capture cable. The Orion iOS software is free. We shall see!!

    Air 3 output to RC2 and iPad at same time?

    Is it possible to fly and video my Air3 with the RC2 controller and also see the video on my iPad? I have an iPad with a Lightening connector and another with the newer USB-C connector. Would be nice for others to see what I am seeing on my RC2 while I am flying. Thanks in advance and sorry...

    Using iPad as 2nd monitor with RC2

    Is it possible to fly an Air 3 with an RC 2 controller and have an iPad as a second monitor out in the field? I’ve got an older iPad with a lightning connector as well as new iPad with a USB-C connector. Thanks in advance.
