I've been looking at parazero also. They look like they have a track record of already having customers who fly the more commercial drones like I've been looking at the Parazero also. I like the fact that they have customers who use the parachutes on Matrice and other more commercial drones...

You're right again. I wasn't necessarily implying flying over people, but you know, I'm glad you brought this up, because I can see how easy it could be to just think: "Oh, heck... now I've got a parachute, I can fly over people, but your right, that it's still falling fast enough it could...

Right on, Phantomrain! You know, once again, I didn't think about the drifting aspect. That could be a major issue, just like you say if the wind is up and of course the higher you are the more it will drift. I always try to be alert when flying, but you'd have to really be quick on this one...

I just want to say, I'm so glad we have this forum so we can talk about this stuff with each other and people like you, put in some new ideas. I don't know why I didn't think about that idea, that you could use the remote to basically stop a fly away if you could stop it in time. Good thinking...

https://mail.yahoo.com/d/folders/1/messages/AKANIK5Vw5SLXNe4lg778FY41PA I've been seriously looking at this Vector parachute system mainly because of something I read about the whole idea of parachutes on drones. Some guy mentioned that it would be a problem if the quad for whatever reason...

You know, the funny thing is, I did get a hold of them last year when I had ordered the Spark bundle and I was actually impressed at how nice and helpful they were. They even cancelled one of my spark orders and later on, I decided to order it again and everything went ok. It took 2 or 3...

I'd been trying to get a hold of Drone Wrold since Jan. 8th and nothing, no emails, no phone calls, no response. Finally someone on this forum responded to my complaint and told me they're closed. I know now the store in Yorba Linda is closed. I can't even get on their web site. Somehow, I...

They're the absolute worst in customer service I've ever dealt with and I've dealt with quite a few. I ordered some Spark batteries and a charger over a month ago and I've called and emailed many times since then. No answer. I've also purchased my Spark kit from them, but that doesn't seem to...

I read most of the posts on this thread and there's a couple of very important aspects of this I didn't see here. The two main things I want to mention here is Proxies and spreading the editing job over several different hard drives. Right now, I'm using an HP Elite book 8740w that I had the...

Just for your protection, you might consider getting a patent on this if it works. Marc.

Good thinking, BDOG! That could break a lot of the inertia, especially if it had some bounce to it. Marc.

I say, more power to you Stingray! Anything that might help is better than nothing. I know they make some float devices you can put on the Mavic pro for landing in water, and I actually saw footage where that worked, but like you say, that won't help if your upside down. Maybe even something...

I have the Marco Polo, but I live in the U.S.A. Thankfully, our phone band is way different than the Marco Polo's 902.5 to 906.5. So, we don't have a restriction on that. I'd do your research on that in Australia, but remember to, that the Marco Polo "tag" or little sending unit you put on...

I haven't had to use it for a drone retrieval yet, but I tested it around my neighborhood. I know that's not even close, really, to trees and slopes, but I had the "tag" or "send" unit that you put on the drone, inside my house and I was able to find it from a couple of blocks away. It took...

I'm so sorry for your loss, but I think you came to the right place to look for help. These guys are awesome at reading charts, giving good tips, finding drones, you name it. You might be able to look for it with another drone, but, ,,, that might be pretty risky. Maybe you could kind of...
