    Smart controller

    I've used several drone over the years. The most clunky part of all of it was using the smartphone. I was at this conclusing before DJI announced the smart controller. Using a smartphone and a standard controller works. You can everything on the drone, but I hated uisng my phones. They had cases...

    Fly into the 60m limit zone but can't fly back?

    Someone can correct me if I am wrong, but I also use the Litchi app which allows for automation flights paths. It's great app for planning specific flight paths to capture video and pictures. That app also allows you to fly the drone just like you do in the DJI App. When I use that App, I never...

    Heart Broken

    Take the neighbor to small claims court for the price of your drone. If the neighbor was charged, it's pretty much an open and closed case in your favor.

    Selling prints - Part 107 required or not?

    Here is my two cents with regards to the original topic... If you ever sold anything on Facebook, or some other classified ad, did you report any of that and paid taxes? Most people don't because it's just a one off sale here and there. Yes the FAA wants stricked obedience to every law just...

    Anyone use the MOVERIO BT-35E Smart Glasses with their drone?

    Iappreciate everyone's response. I have the Maveric Pro2 and I also have the smart controller. I'd be okay if DJI allowed the smart controller to also use a phone with their app - i know it's redundant - but DJI offers mapping on of their IOS apps that is not available on Android and I'd be okay...

    Anyone use the MOVERIO BT-35E Smart Glasses with their drone?

    The MOVERIO BT-35, is pricey, but does allow a single operator to keep line of sight while having an FPV of the drone without a spotter. Besides recreational use of the MOVERIO BT-35E when using a drone, I can see how the smart glasses could be a valuable tool if using your drone for certain...

    Any Free 3D Mapping software to practice with

    Anyone know of any free 3d mapping software which can be used with a Mavic Pro 2 which can be used to just to practice with my drone? I'm playing with the idea of getting my part 107, mostly so I can just fly my drone as a hobbyist in a legal way to take photos and not be bothered if I were to...

    What happens if phone or app dies while flying?

    If you are using an app like Litchi with a flight path, than your drone will continue on through it's flight path, whether your phone or controller is on or off.

    Bad Time To Become A Drone Enthusiast?

    I don't thnk it's a bad time to get into Drones. Like every other for profit business DJI is a business and makes a good portion of thier money selling their products in the USA. Unlike other smaller drone manufacture who may not have the capital tomake things happen, DJI is the largest drone...

    Aerial photo software

    Really interesting software. Has anyone ever used any the mapping software for business with their drones? I live in an area where there are lot of land owners and farmers. I've been thinking about using my drone for just a small side business to use among other things with those small farmers...

    Do you ever fly over 400 ft in US?

    Yes at times., but I know my area - no airports, rural areas, and other areas where the ground elevation drasticly changes, such when I am near mountatins. I usually fly at 350ft when I use litchi to make sure I don't fly into anything and when I am flying several miles out.

    I've just discovered Litchi

    Litchi is a game changer and has given me literall 100% more function of what I can do and capture with my drone. I almost prefer using litchi when capture views than trying to free fly the drone by hand because the flight paths, sweeps, and point of interests are perfectly controlled for me...

    Mavic Pro common issues?

    I appreciate the input from everyone. I have been considering making a purchase, but didn't know if they've become anymore dependable from problems I had with the Phantom 3 . Surprisingly I have seen few posts of these things from others and have been hoping the newer DJI quads have been more...

    Mavic Pro common issues?

    I was wondering what are common issues Mavic Pro owners experience with their quad? Are Fly-Aways an issue like they they were with many of the older Phantoms? Is GPS connectivity solid with the Pro? Is the Radio signal connectivity from the drone to the controller good on the pro or is it...
