    Why you shouldn't be using AirMap

    This reply is satisfying. Glad to see that AirMap has backed away from policy-making, and working on real-life technical solutions that do not harm the commercial drone industry.

    Why you shouldn't be using AirMap

    HOLY MOLY! Someone who works for AirMap who actually responds! Thank you! Well, this is news, considering Greg McNeal's comments at InterDrone last year. Is he no longer with the company? Because his remarks were essentially drivel and insanity. Why hasn't AirMap spoken up? Many of us in the...

    Why you shouldn't be using AirMap

    I think the point that most people are missing is that despite and changes in the language that the ULC is working on, it still has the overarching purpose of making it possible for a civil suit defense against a drone operator. That purpose has not changed, hence the name "Tort Law Relating to...

    Why you shouldn't be using AirMap

    Gregory McNeal (AirMap's cofounder) is on the Tort Law committee for the ULC, and spoke at InterDrone outlining the patchwork of laws concept. I haven't seen any significant changes in the Tort Law documents.

    Why you shouldn't be using AirMap

    AirMap is probably one of the more popular apps that many UAS pilots use to determine airspaces and obtain LAANC approvals. Unfortunately, most folks don't know that AirMap is working against the drone industry (USA). That's right, the people at AirMap are supporting harmful legislation that...

    deleting all info from SD card

    You may want to look at "zeroing" your card. This will assure they won't use any recovery programs to get files, even after formatting.

    ND filters for the first time

    Yep. You might try using nitrile or latex gloves. Helps grip, plus doesn't print up the lens. Just use caution with the gimbal.

    DJI discontinues Phantom series!

    Mark my words, there WILL be a DJI announcement within the next two months with a new aircraft. No word yet on whether it will be a P4PV3 or a P5 or something completely different, but something will be announced.

    DJI GEO maps and FAA maps conflict? Help!

    I'd strongly recommend against using AirMap as they are working against the drone industry rather than for it. Well known that cofounder Greg McNeal is supporting the Tort Law Relating to Drones at the Uniform Law Commission.

    So can we legally fly at night (USA)

    You do know that AirMap is supporting anti-drone legislation, right?

    DJI GEO maps and FAA maps conflict? Help!

    I'm new to DJI drones. I've flown other non-internet aircraft in the past (still do) and I'm a bit confused by the geo-fencing that DJI has. I fly frequently in a local park ("Beal Park" on the maps below) as it is on the edge of the Class C boundary, and according to the FAA UAS map, I'm in the...

    Mavic pro carrying case

    I got this one off Amazon for a good price. Took it with me via airplane in my carry-on and this case worked very well. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07HJZFMYC/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1

    Seriously? I have to use a Windoze machine to update my firmware?
