    HOA drone rules, how to educate them without putting a target on my back

    I'm on our HOA Board and a Past President. I fly my UAS (Air 3) in the community and post some of my photos and videos on our community Facebook page. I've never gotten any pushback, and lots of Likes and positive comments on my shots. The rules of an HOA are governed by Federal, State, and...

    HOA drone rules, how to educate them without putting a target on my back

    Not necessarily. How the HOA Board handles violations is controlled by their Governing Documents. In our HOA, a rules violation owner is sent a notice with 30 days to correct. Then a possible fine. Then a lien. I'm on the Board and the only time we've ever filed a lien is for non-payment of...

    Newest firmware 01.00.1300 for Air 3 and 02.02.0000 for RC2

    Hello, What does your practice loop consist of? I'm feeling a need to do the same thing. I'm also in Cincinnati, in the far east of Anderson.

    An expensive privacy lesson

    I live in a 200 unit townhouse condo community. I fly here all the time, with neighbors asking me about my drone out of interest or curiosity. I often post photos of the community and surrounding area on our community Facebook page and get nothing but positive responses. We have a community...

    Air3 - RC2 Quick Transfer?

    I am aware of the need to disable Cellular Data on the iPhone. And I normally do that through Settings. Thanks for the tip to use the Control Center icon instead.

    Downloading pictures

    About 2 years ago, when I first started flying with a Mini 2, the images were downloaded to my iPhone “on the fly.” Somewhere after that, that feature went away. I now fly an Air 3 and I transfer images to my iPhone or iPad using Quick Transfer, which works quite well at the end of a flight.

    trying out the recent firmware update

    I also tried the update features a few days ago. I did play some looking at the Obstacle Avoidance cameras and found it "interesting" but of limited value. How would a pilot use that video? I spent more time with the still photo zooms with both lenses. It's gotta be a digital zoom, doesn't it...

    Quick Transfer and iOS

    All DJI and iOS software updated to the current versions. iPhone 14 Pro Max or iPad Pro (6th generation). Quick Transfer works consistently well transferring photos to my iOS devices. On the other hand, many videos fail to transfer. For example, today I shot a brief hyperlapse video (5s) and a...

    Drone halts Raven vs Bengals game

    I read a news report somewhere that the local or state police had already identified the drone operator. And that the FAA was also looking into this incident. How do they locate these rogue operators so quickly?

    Units in RC2 Flight Log

    The issue is that my flight log on my new RC2 displays with distance in kilometers, while that same flight log in DJI Fly on my two iOS devices displays distances correctly in miles. Somewhere in settings on the RC2, I have the units set to Imperial. And the units displayed in Device Management...
