    Anyone use the Drone Academy to study for the 107?

    Don't make anyone feel abnormal for wanting a well-put-together educational package. Yes there is free info out there, but its not well organized. That is why I chose Remotepilot101, and I don't regret the $99 I spent on the concise package to be more knowledgable and responsible with my...

    Anyone use the Drone Academy to study for the 107?

    It’s mostly videos and quizzes. There are handouts for reference, but no major texts. Remember that the videos are updated whenever there are changes and you have lifetime access. You can get the text material for FREE on FAA website. The FAA is in the progress of change and you don’t want to...

    Which ipad mini generation should i use?

    I used the iPad Mini 4 with cellular (before I lost it) and it fits the Mavic Controller! I now have the iPad Pro 10.5, but miss the mini because it could fit in my blazer or jacket pocket. Battery life was great (when I had iOS 10, never used in v11). Go for it! You don’t need cellular, but...

    Apple admits iOS is a mess - XDNet article

    That would kill batteries faster. Each emulation would require precious memory.

    Mavic's Lends Hood, not a good idea,

    In most cases the lens hood has no benefit. It requires me to fly extremely slow. So I will only usee when glare is a big issue. Otherwise, flying without any cover is best. I fly at 20mph average and have great footage without the hood. With the hood, I have issues seeing it even at...

    Hello From Japan

    We, I'm back and looking to go in the morning (or the next morning). I did not plan well, but I'll try to get an early ticket from Shibuya....shoot for an hour at Mt. Fuji, then head back to Tokyo. Anyone else can feel free to join. My LINE is JBlongz

    Hello From Japan

    Hello From Japan

    I was just in Taiwan, currently in Tokyo. Taiwan has so many places to fly, just respect the hight limits and avoid heavily populated areas. I was lucky to be in Taipei during Chinese New Year...most of the residents left the city to visit family. I took advantage of that to get some awesome...

    New Design for Lens Hood

    After I received mine last night from eBay, I did some further modifications...filing away more of the hood to increase view when the camera turns. I'm still satisfied with the purchase considering I saved $10 (not buying spray paint) and shipping from Canada was good timing (flight tomorrow)...

    HELP! Mavic crashed on roof!

    You only have 48 hours after first drone activation to purchase DJI Care Refresh. The Mavic is currently the only one cover for water damage, I think.
