"longest flight" and battery life can be two different things

expecting the current federal government to have a coherent policy that is consistent across departments is like expecting a horse to play a violin or a whale to use AI to search for plankton.

I hadn't ever really thought about it but I did today I have a Mini 2 with 5 batteries Mini 3 Pro with 5 batteries Mavic 3 with 5 batteries Mavic 4 Pro with 3 batteries the first 3 drones all have a dedicated RC-N1's. And the Mavic 4 Pro has the RC Pro 2. And when flying the first 3 drones I...

this is kind of old news. This occurred on Dec 23rd; and that's when that articles was posted

liability exposure for driving a 3500 pound car on busy roads is nothing like the exposure for flying a 400g drone around the countryside sure....if I was operating a drone commercially on construction sites, or around electrical infrastructure, or in residential areas for real estate listings...

look....I get you have a business and a product to sell but most recreational pilots here are simply looking for coverage against damage to, or loss of, a drone. Not for a 1 million liability policy for a 250g drone crashing into somebody's fence or apple tree. Where is your insurance niche for...

so then, $170/year and if you lose your drone and are unable to recover it, you have no coverage?

you better check closely when I link to Squaretrade Drone Insurance it sends me here: https://www.staples.com/sbd/cre/programs/serviceplans/drones.html that's from Staples....it's right there in the URL and as Gadget Guy pointed out, one of the exclusions is: "3. Lost, stolen, or...

please explain. What drone(s) you have covered for what amount and the premium I couldn't navigate past their first page. It also said explicitly that they only cover products bought withing the last 30 days. That effectively eliminates a vast majority of drone owners...

I have State Farm. But I've had Sate Farm for home and Auto for 50 years. So, I don't know how open they would be to a new customer just for a personal property policy. And they don't cover in 2 or 3 states I have a Mavic 4 Pro; a Mavic 3, and a Mini 3 Pro covered for loss since replacement...

true problem is those are the only ones, at Amazon, specifically designated for the RC Pro 2. Amazon has all kinds of offers for Joysticks designated for the RC, RC Pro, & RC 2. I'd assume the threading would be the same as the RC Pro 2. But the folding process on the RC Pro 2 might render them...

here's a pair at Amazon: RC Pro 2 Joysticks or 2 Pair Of RC Pro 2 Joysticks

I imagine they'd be ok....but I'm not fully trusting replacements that are pictured with the RC Pro & RC 2 the OP was asking about sticks for the RC Pro 2; not the same controller as the other two. Maybe the threading is OK and they'd fit the fold-able process, but that's not certain

I'd be a bit cautious. Amazon has dozens of joystick offers, but they offer by drone model and the joysticks don't look like the ones on the RC Pro 2. I'd imagine the threading would fit, but I can't be sure about how the folding works. Most offers are in the $6-9 range and some appear to be a...

not doubting you. I got the Mavic 4 in the first week in December and the weather has been terrible. Not much opportunity to test is yet
