Beautiful framing, great lighting, very interesting subject. Well done and thank you!

Innovative. My Doberman's would...well, you get the point.

I don't know about "better" but I've been running an iPad with a 9.7" screen. Zero issues ever from downloading the app, to flying, to reading the post-flight info. Some guys revert to a smart phone after using a tablet because it's easier to pack the drone/controller/etc without an iPad. I...

Sorry you were injured and had a bit of a scare. If you're going to run the engines in the house, take off the props. Safe flying.

I took a practice test with zero prep although I’ve been around aircraft all my life and pro time in aerospace and wireless IT. Scored a 70. With a few more practice tests and some read up on airport maps and weather, I should be able to make it over the min score. The 107 test is ridiculous in...

Gang- I might recommend you read the essential parts of the proposed law (it's an 87 page document). We have FOUR YEARS before this law begins to actually take effect. Kindly read as follows which is pasted from the proposed legislation, found on page 72488 (it's a weird gov numbering thing-...

Really nice flying, excellent camera configs also, fun sound track. Have you flown around that interesting tall structure next to it with the crane in place? That would be cool to see up close. Then run a triangle path around all three structures, one of which is that water tower approx ½ mile...

I use this one from Skyreat; https://amzn.to/2Qml4Cq Fit, finish, usability, quality of materials is top notch. Is on Amazon for $21. Get a neck lanyard from a tradeshow or whatever and secure it to the base of the iPad holder and voila, you get both hands back when you're not flying.

Singapore may be my all-time favorite city on the planet. Absolutely amazing place. Happy New Year to you and yours, and I'll take a look at the YT vids which should be epic.

Good story and thanks for posting. I simply will not fly at night but the truth is once your out of LOS (a few hundred feet or more), you're flying by camera and your map anyway. If you know the altitude profile of your route, you should be okay. When all else fails, you have a high chance of...

Gents- I can see where adding certain perspectives allows one to believe "Big Brother" is getting more dangerous. The truth is, and I've been a network professional for multiple decades, we've all been on the grid for a very, very long time. I'm not condoning that; I'm saying there is little we...

Respectfully- where was the crash?

I use an A-1566 iPad; 9.7" screen. Works perfectly. This iPad has way more batt life than the controller or 3 Mavic Pro drone batt's combined. Get a connecting cable with right angle head that goes into your controller; that way it can be shorter and more out of the way. I use a tablet Skyreat...

Very nice job! A lot of attention paid to the details. Love the color- the better you can see it in the air, the less likely you'll have other probs.

Very nice! Really fun to see that at approx same altitude. Job well done and thanks for posting.
