    Restricted Air This Weekend? NY

    VIP TFR's accompany Presidential travel, covering anywhere from 10 - 30 nautical miles from centerpoint. TLDR -- yes Trump.

    Any safe download sites

    Agreed apkmirror. Where are you getting "malware" copies?

    Litchi mission hub changes

    It doesn't look any different to me, at all.

    DJI's drone 'privacy mode' is now available

    Not a chance. The only reason the Android app is unstable is because A) there are so many devices, DJI cant account for every last set of performance specs, and B) fragmentation. CrystalSky is a tightly-controlled system, and DJI has every ability to make it rock-solid stable. Don't point the...

    Litchi consistently fails @ Pano mode on Mavic

    Anyone else having issues getting LItchi to actually correctly perform a PANO shot? I usually am missing at least 4 photos from the collection, and can clearly see when it decides it's going to skip a photo -- it'll be ready to take, then instead of taking it / flashing black, it just increments...

    Headed to San Francisco

    Seems like any time this happens though, it's imperative that the person ask the police if there's an actual statute they can point to. It's unfortunate, but far too often, it seems like they're just told "no" and don't actually know whether it's the law.

    Bali Volcano and my Mavic

    Totally disappointed by this thread :p. Was expecting liquid fire up close and crazy antics. /s

    Stolen drones

    I live in one of the most violent crime cities in the nation. I'd put a bullet in anyone that immediately threatens my life, period. Drones have nothing to do with it. It's about being in places where self-defense protection may be necessary. Not to mention pepper spray will only get you a...

    Stolen drones

    My Ruger LCP ensures that won't happen. I used to pack a Shield 9 with me in my P4P case where the props usually go, but it's way easier to conceal the LCP at all times. Seriously though, how many folks are packing while flying? Where I'm at, there's plenty of areas that can go from upscale to...

    Is everyone upgrading to the Platinum props?

    Better question is why are you flying around people? I keep my Mavic as far away from folks as possible, unless they ask and I'm showing them the thing hovering, just before I either land or send it straight back up. You ever gotten your finger caught in the prop of a Mavic before? If so, you'd...

    Accosted and Vandalized

    Keep in mind folks, when you're talking about "illegal" activity, that the only places that drones are illegal to fly in the US are where the Federal Aviation Administration has explicitly stated is illegal. State regulations are nothing more than words on paper, and while you should tread...

    Accosted and Vandalized

    Is he though? From what OP is saying, a random crazed person came by and damaged his personal property that he had in his possession (read: NOT flying). I agree with the intention of saying "be careful", but I strongly disagree with the thought of chalking it up to a loss and avoiding going...

    Serious bug in the Mavic's "Home Point Me" function - caused loss of drone!

    It is possible to take both sides here, folks. I personally think both pilot and DJI are at fault here. From a product liability standpoint, DJI is on the hook here for the full value due to a software bug. Heck, if this was supposedly a known issue, then it's even more on DJI for failing to...

    Serious bug in the Mavic's "Home Point Me" function - caused loss of drone!

    Looks like they won't have any excuse for denying coverage here. The logs are pretty telling.

    Is everyone upgrading to the Platinum props?

    I can hear mine whizzing by @ 25mph at 1000ft. Not that you should.....but you can def hear the thing pretty high up.
