    Beware of Mavic Pro Scam: Drones4You

    Thank you Derekcan for posting. I started the process yesterday, another one bites the dust... As of this morning the shop has been taken down. Details: Domain name was provided by NameSilo. Contacted abuse team with detailed report and they were pretty quick to respond but the domain remains...

    Traveling with Drones

    There's another thread that talks about this where I and several people gave some good feedback on the same question: Traveling on an airline with mavic air I hope that helps.

    Memory Card Overwrite.... Anything I can do?

    You may want to try something called Piriform Recuva, there's a free version on their website. If the files haven't been overwritten at the block level on your card they might be forensically recovered. That's your best bet. I hope that helps, good luck.

    Beware of Mavic Pro Scam: Drones4You

    Because this person had 52 websites scamming people for more credible prices, all advertised via Google Ads. I do cyber security for a living in fintech, so for me it's a hunt, and if there's anything that pisses me off is people robbing vulnerable people. This person had the infrastructure, and...

    Beware of Mavic Pro Scam: Drones4You

    Nice to know that you also saw that ad and were tracking it. Google definitely needs to do a better job at filtering these and confirming they're not scammers. I did get a reply from Google after submitting a complaint on TOS violation, and they opened a case so you shouldn't be seeing those...

    Beware of Mavic Pro Scam: Drones4You

    Update this week: After doing my part with the ISPs, and hosting company, etc. The website is down, yay! Success. Turns out this person had 52 scam websites he or she was managing, plenty of them drone related with special offers, some for only 100-200 dollar discounts. Ultimately found the...

    Beware of Mavic Pro Scam: Drones4You

    Haha very true indeed! Maybe I should sell that service huh? Got my money back from the bank, and you're right lot of time and effort for $40 but worth the hunt, figured from the start if it was true great if not happy hunting. See updated reply with final results this week.

    50 seconds left meant zero

    And yet as a part 107 you can't provide constructive criticism of what happened here? As a part 107 then you know the risks to the drone, people, property, and nature associated with this right? I agree some people shouldn't be as harsh, very true, but you can't expect someone to post this for...

    50 seconds left meant zero

    It sucks that you lost your drone, I feel for ya. As for the negative comments, it sucks to hear it, but actually, don't ignore it, and this applies to everyone boasting about flying their drones to the battery limit like it's something cool that seasoned pilots do... No, they don't, and if...

    Traveling on an airline with mavic air

    Yes, that shouldn't be a problem either as long as it's with someone else and not in your personal possession. I know some people that do professional aerial photography for a living and that's how they travel, each person carries different parts to help carry the gear. I love the idea of 3D...

    Traveling on an airline with mavic air

    Not a problem at all to travel with your drone. TSA is perfectly fine with it, with a few caveats... But nothing major. Has to be carry-on. You can only carry two batteries with you, depending on size, and no they don't have to be discharged. I personally like to take the props off and put...

    Live PD anyone see it last night? Guy looking for his drone was shot in Fla !

    Sheesh. This turned into a political argument pretty quickly! Bottom line is both were wrong. Obviously they were peaking around for a while, enough time at least for the property owner to grab the gun, and fire a warning shot. Knock on doors, be smart, especially in Florida, or anywhere else...
