    Can one drone be registered under both recreational & Part 107?

    That's right, once you register your drone with the government you are on a permanent list and your details are there forever.

    Mounting a true 3 mile strobe?

    What I like about arm mounts they allow you to put the green and red on separate sides of the drone which aids in determining which way the drone is facing. Starting at relatively short distances away, one or the other is almost completely blocked at most angles so you are seeing only red or...

    Look out for those dark drones (bad idea)

    First you scare everybody in town making them think drone swarm attacks are imminent and you need this "early warning" system. Once everyone is convinced, the taxpayers will foot the bill and some company will get rich from a useless, unnecessary system. You might even get big private donors...

    Update on Mav 4 Pro confiscated by Customs

    It's an old phrase that dates awhile back, I thought you would be familiar with it. Kinda like my constant past warnings that government was coming for our drones and numerous warnings that new drone laws are on the horizon and are coming soon and my repeated reminders that every time the...

    Customs problems resolved?

    Dajomu, just so you know since DJI maintains separate stores for each country, you don't necessarily need a VPN to change stores and visit DJI in your favorite region. You're free to shop there as well but when you checkout, your Country will be locked to that store so your shipping address...

    Update on Mav 4 Pro confiscated by Customs

    On hold indefinitely by a government is called "confiscation" in the real world and if it's a drone, it's "contraband." Just like asset forfeiture is "confiscation." When the government takes your property by force without due process or compensation (especially with no method to get it back...

    LAANC question

    As long as all your software is up to date, you should have any problems with DJI and any type of geofencing.

    LAANC question

    Yeah it's quite normal to block off a large time range, you can do the entire day if you wish. If you look at the request before submitting, it usually says something like for example: "Auto approval available up to 300 ft. Further coordination available up to 400 ft" which tells me it is at...

    Mounting a true 3 mile strobe?

    The CBO that I follow is the AMA and this is what they say about flying at night: For night flying, AMA requires that aircraft be equipped with anti-collision lighting that can be seen from 3 statute miles away unless it poses a hazard or distraction to the operator. Other lighting must be...

    Well...I did it.

    Appears to be inadvertent but it's encouraging.

    The part about we did not launch in America but M4P drones are still being purchased and flown in America.

    Mounting a true 3 mile strobe?

    Sorry I didn't see this exactly posted in the M4P forum and I don't have the M4P yet and Ryan has not yet created the mounts for M4P that I have seen but I'm sure he will soon. Sorry I don't know for sure. Ryan has been known to work with flyers and their drones if you want to reach out to him.

    I get all my DJI drone mounts from Ryan: DJI Strobe Mounts
