    New Michigan drone laws (proposed bill)

    2026 is the year of drone legislation (with a month early start in December). Once again, a state is proposing new legislation to control drones including a drone registry (likely to be used to facilitate confiscation), allowing important people to take down drones, the usual trespassing over...

    Negative. 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣

    Those living in and around fire zones were also told to stop using drones to capture the scene.

    Ok, let's wait and see; I'll revisit this later.

    So no outrage for this one? No anger that someone's life was put in jeopardy for [insert your favorite reason here]. You cannot compare it to hobbyist flyers getting in the way of first responders, agreed. Do not interfere (and IMO just existing and being there is not interfering but that's...

    Is this site selling dji drones legit?

    I agree I wouldn't buy from them, their drone prices are too high for my tastes (you have to buy from them in order to get USDS Care). I admire their goal of trying to provide care service to make up for the gaping hole that DJI left behind and the point of my post is positive in that we might...

    Those living in and around fire zones were also told to stop using drones to capture the scene.

    Nearly three years ago, I asked "what are we going to do about it?" Guess what? Nothing. I find it hard to believe no one knows the answer or a solution. I know what isn't the answer: New restrictions; more useless laws that don't resolve the problem; higher fines and penalties. Easy to get...

    Looks like they have stepped up with a program trying to duplicate DJI Care Refresh. Perhaps other sellers will start offering the same. Not talking about a warranty but a service (repair) plan. USDS Care

    Whidbey Island Naval Station takes down drone

    Yep, for sure; that's the same thing I first thought when I saw the replies to my comment. LOL. ;)

    Can you fly Mini 5 Pro with plus batteries out of the box here in the U.S.?

    You might have gone to the wrong website, there are many illegitimate sites setup to pretend to be the government site. I would get your money back if you still can, it's only $5 if you are recreational....for as many drones as you wish.

    Whidbey Island Naval Station takes down drone

    I don't know, I just hit the reply for the two people who responded to my comments. If you agree with me that the military did what they did which is good and the pilot is rightfully in trouble for what he did, then cool.

    Whidbey Island Naval Station takes down drone

    glad they took it down. not sure why you think they should have allowed it to fly. given the recent threats from Iran, the military should use whatever capabilities they have to stop a drone that appears to be a threat regardless the distance. what's so hard to understand about that? I don't...

    Whidbey Island Naval Station takes down drone

    sad what the world has turned into. after recent events in Iran and the surrounding area, a drone near any military installation is going to be met with the full force of the military and it's sad because it hasn't always been that way.

    You're doing fine; it's a little overwhelming at first but eventually it will all make sense....or not; until the rules change again! 🤣
