it should come with a blood pressure cuff so it's a medical expense

main thing to expect is a pretty hefty price tag

I'm glad other people noticed the OP's complaint about an "$1800 hole". I've seen refurbished Air 3 Fly more kits for $1000-$1200. that made me pretty suspicious, but I'm cynical

it's pretty easy to see which battery is which. I think the Mini 4 Pro combo sends 3 standard batteries. The Plus batteries have to be ordered separately, IIRC honestly, I don't see what the big deal is about registering with the FAA. It's easy to do and $5 allows you to register multiple...

I'm not a lawyer and maybe I'm off track but it does seem that "with the intent to conduct surveillance" is a fairly significant part of the language of the law. "Intent" is always kind of tricky, legally...correct? somebody recreational flying over property 300' in the air with his video...

well, it certainly was in the dark days of Covid. Toilet paper was more valuable than silver and people were scrambling to find any. it was insane...Covid was a respiratory illness and there was a shortage of toilet paper? If the next pandemic is a lower abdominal illness there will probably be...

if cost is a major concern, pretty obviously the Air3S is quite a bit cheaper option I don't have the Air3....I have a Mavic 3. My hunch is that the Mavic 3 Pro is superior to the Air3S. The 4/3 inch sensor vs the 1 inch sensor is part of that. But again, I'm looking at the Mavic 3 Pro Fly More...

thanks for those pictures....they are really good gauges of the differences in the cameras

is there a settings adjustment for a Mavic 3? and if so, how much would it stress the battery?

"inspections" is a little vague inspecting what? like roofs, buildings, etc? to start with, I'm pretty sure you'll need Part 107 license from the FAA to legally operate drone(s) commercially as for the drone, as others have said, it may be that the recreational drones, which are far less...

maybe I should first explain that I rarely take photos. It's almost always video. And mostly, the videos are of landscapes At first, I was using Avidemux as the gateway editor. I'd have a raw 4K video of a flight; usually 15-25 minutes long. But I didn't want the entire flight in the final...

after using Resolve, CapCut, Vlogger, etc., I have found that easily the best free editor for my needs is Avidemux. obviously, this is for video. But whether its 4K MP4 or 4K D-log, I have found that Avidemux will do just about everything those other editors will do. It doesn't have fancy color...

Mavic 3

thanks for info yeah, that's too bad. I have a Mavic 3 and 4 batteries. I could get by with 3 batteries, but 4 is a sweet spot as far as recharging when camping. I'll be curious at the price of extra batteries for this drone. The difference between the drone + Battery + RC2 and the drone combo...

IIRC, there are a couple of tablets that generate 2600 nits. They sell in the $400-600 price range. Reportedly the screens can get pretty hot. And the batteries are smaller than the Tripltek. The Tripltek is pretty obviously a higher quality device; really sturdy. And an 8 inch screen instead of...
