    Visiting national parks in the South West

    I'm sorry but I"m not real farmilar with that area. The last time I was up there I didn't own a drone.

    Visiting national parks in the South West

    I don't understand. What road? The Navajo Nation covers almost a quarter of the NE section of Arizona and also extends into New Mexico. There is also a Hope Nation in the same area.

    Visiting national parks in the South West

    I live in Flagstaff, not on Navajo Nation. I would just keep in in you bag or remove the battery.

    Ophir Beach Video for Critique

    Note this was my first experience shooting waves. I live in Arizona. I tried shooting close to shore and as I got braver I took the drone out farther. Found it difficult to judge how high over the water I was when I got far from shore and didn't trust the controller's height values being over...

    Ophir Beach Video for Critique

    This is a video I did on the Oregon coast using a Mavic 3. This was my first attempt to record the surf while flying my drone over it. At times the drone was at least 50 meters from the shore. I'm on my way to the Isle of Lewis in Scotland in September and hope to create more surf and beach...

    New menu in DJI Fly - Remote ID Settings!

    I'm in the US. I did the firmware for the 2S that added the remote ID but my RC Pro controller does not see it. I'm assuming DJI has blocked it in the US until we need it. I did update my controller also.

    A little (huge) rant about the Mavic 3 Cine...

    I have the Mavic 3, not the Cine version. I wanted the RC Pro. In December 2022 DJI came out with the Air 2S Combo package with a RC Pro for $1700 US. I thought that is an RC Pro (retail $1000) plus an Air 2S for $700 so I bought it. The package is now $1500. Got my RC Pro and added another good...

    HELP!!! Using 400' AGL as my ceiling hypothetically

    What I was trying to show is the maximum 400 ft a drone can fly is 400 ft above the spot the drone is currently at.

    Using the DJI RC with both Mini3 and Mavic 3

    I'm doing that with an air 2S and Mavic 3 using an RC Pro controller. You don't need to bind and unbind but the dji fly app asks you to releoad the controller firmware whenever you switch, which takes about a minute. You do need both drones set to bind to the one controller.

    HELP!!! Using 400' AGL as my ceiling hypothetically

    It is simple. It states AGL (Above Ground Level). If you take off from sea level (0 MSL) and fly up to the top of a 2000 ft peak, the maximum altitude you can fly is 2000 + 400 or 2400 ft MSL (Mean Sea Level) but your are still at 400 ft AGL.
