More imagined government injustices stoking fear and paranoia. "And it spreads from there; no thank you." Well said.

You're right. See my edit in post #24. It's an oddity in the regs. (I do have a TRUST certificate, by the way.)

What prohibits a Part 107 pilot from flying a sub-0.55 pound drone for recreation? Are you suggesting that I was in violation as a Part 107 pilot for flying an unregistered Neo 2 for fun this afternoon? EDIT: I'll answer my own question. @SoaringBison is correct. There's a quirk in the...

You're correct about TRUST not being required for Part 107 pilots flying recreationally and outside the exception in Section 44809. I've clarified the earlier post to read "TRUST required for all recreational flights under Section 44809." I don't see an FAA statement specifically stating that...

Specifics, please, rather than vague generalities.

If you fear a DJI ban, shutdown of DJI software and firmware updates, blocking of DJI drones operating in the US, or any of the other sky-is-falling rumors of pending disaster, watch and assimilate this video. Thank you to Vic Moss for an informed, reasoned, and rational assessment of the...

Not bad for a segment o an image that was enlarged by about 500%.

The drone I purchased from a South Korean seller identified it as exactly what it was on the customs declaration.

They certainly don't compete with the output from other DJI drones that cost two to six times as much, but they're amazing for a 160-gram drone. The Neo 2 is a great "snapshot" camera, akin to a flying cellphone in that regard. The great majority of drone photos are shared for viewing on phones...

I agree. The flight time is the most significant limitation, but it's definitely the most bang for the buck of all the drones I've seen. The camera is amazing.

No, the digital image transmission module is needed for flying the Neo 2 with a controller, too. "When operating with the remote controller or FPV Goggles, the Neo 2 Digital Image Transmission Module must be installed to achieve stable, low-latency image transmission." EDIT: The module is...

Where is that described in the regs?

Neither. Only new models. Of course, there are lots of unfounded rumors being spread by some.

There's little difference for most of us. Yes, you can be in compliance without transmitting RID if you have authorization from the Administrator of the FAA or fly in an FAA-recognized FRIA.
