    Returning to a specific GPS location?

    Our MPs' have a flight mode that records the flight for automated re-flight at anytime. I am sure this would work for your shot.

    The 500' rule

    I blame this confusion directly on the FAA. We should have had an app based test a year ago.

    ADS-B

    I picked up on of Nooelec's NSSDR Nano 2 receivers for less than $20.00. Plugs right into my phone phone and with an app I get a map a lot like FlightRadar24. I can see most of the aircraft in the area. The weather part has yet to work as I do not have line of site to a ground station. I...

    What would stop you buying the Mavic 3?

    For me the Mavic 3 would have to have interchangeable cameras. To be able to go from a large format camera to the zoom and even a flir camera would make the Mavic perfect.
