I don't view it as a replacement but as an addition to my video/photo toolbox

Over the past three years, my float kits have allowed me to recover 2 of my drones from the water.

It is unlikely they would pursue it technically they could. Lots of online choices to help study. Everything you need to learn can be downloaded or found on FAA.gov No piratical skills flying test. They want to get you into the system run your TSA background check, and ensure you have the...

Last thing first. If you sell photos taken with a drone that is commercial use. 1. Knowledge is always good so if you don't mind studying/learning the regulations to take the Part 107 test, and spending the $150 to take it then yes get your 107. 2. I'm sure you will get lots of feed back on...

I'm sorry. I just thought OP might get better results on the commercial pilot group. Mike

What is the problem you are having with LAANC/Airmap? Are your airports private controlled and not on LAANC yet? I'm a real state photographer as well. I'm in Las Vegas NV, with a military airport and 3 civilian airports in the valley it is a fairly complicated airspace. I fly in controlled...

Sorry for your loss. I hope you figure out what what happened. I always fly with my float kit over water. They have helped me recover my Mavic Pro, and my Mavic 2 Pro, both of which are still flying today. Mike

Casino! are you in Nevada?

Yeah in the spring summer of 2017 I was bombarded with hundreds of orders every month. I farmed out some of the 3d printing but still couldn't keep up.These days I usually have a couple on the shelf and rarely get farther behind than a couple weeks. Building float kits and other fun stuff on my...

I shot that with my, Mavic Air about 2 years ago. I don’t remember what settings I used. Generally I set the white balance to whatever fixed setting looks best for the lighting. Sorry I don’t have more help. If I could find what I did with the original footage I might be able to provide more...

Are you sure? I find that if I log into litchi on my IOS device and open a mission I created on my computer that it stays on my device and I can open it later on even if I don’t have cell service or WiFi no 3rd part app required.

I’m sorry I haven’t used autopilot and airspace in several months. Last time I did any auto flight through 3rd party app I used Litchi because I like planning my flights on the computer. Unfortunately Litchi doesn’t have anything like airspace that I am aware of. I’m sorry I’m no help.

They are not nearly as bad in the wind as you think. I have been flying them on My Mavic Pro for nearly 2 years. My Mavic 2 Pro for months. No real issues in the wind. Mike
