    Neighbour upset for flying next to his property.

    One thing about this law I never understood... is that a total distance or is it a horizontal distance. I can't fly over someone, but is 25 ft up and one foot over completely acceptable?

    Enhance Flying Distrance

    Yes, it does. I can't get my RC controller to connect when on WiFi. I have to use a WiFi enabled device for that.

    Astonishing and scary data collection by DJI

    Sounds like the basis of a great novel. :D

    Enhance Flying Distrance

    It's on the starboard side of the drone under a flap. It's right next to the Micro SD Card. If you're using your controller and not a tablet or smartphone, then you're flying it RC. RC is great, but it's really Line of Sight. Straight out over the ocean, I can go a couple of miles before I lose...

    Keep your drone in view at all times?

    I have lost sight of my Mavic Pro when it was only 120 ft away. It was camouflaged by buildings. I rotated it until I spotted the flashing lights. I wish the lights were a bit more obvious during the day.

    Military Aviation style Mavic Pro operators checklist

    I can't get my tablet to sync (Galaxy S2 8) unless I follow this order: Controller => UAS => Tablet.

    Military Aviation style Mavic Pro operators checklist

    Thanks. I love check lists. I'm a Rebreather Pilot and live by my checklist... or die due to skipping a step.

    Fly Mavic Pro over ocean

    That would be awesome: thanks for the offer! It wouldn't be the first time! When I'm flying from a boat, I don't use more than 50% of my battery. Controller or UAS, my flying stops when I get to fifty!

    Dispelling some myths for clarity

    Plus, they don't really care. Few really get published so demanding the highest video quality is their attempt to grab excellence. Content is more important, but bad footage can ruin great content. I do a lot of underwater videography, and while I get some compliments, I am astounded at the...

    Best Tablet for Mavic

    I'm using the Samsung Galaxy S2 8 Tablet with mixed results. I have to obey the order of startup: Controller => Drone => Tablet. That's been working so far, but it gets washed out in the sun. The best part is that it fits into the controller so I don't need an additional holder. I am looking...

    Fly Mavic Pro over ocean

    What and where? I need this! 90% of my flying centers around my diving. That means I fly quite a bit of time over oceans. That float system looks awesome!

    Learning Litchi and a close call

    Learn to edit... if you think the fly over the water is boring, then others think that same thing x1000. Shoot for the edit. Personally, I liked that the focus was that tidal pool by the lighthouse. I really loved the fade away where the island and not the light house was centered. I want to...

    Why all the personal attacks on @JamesM ??? Disagree all you want, tell us why you think he's wrong, but lay off the ad hominems.

    Mavmount Crystal Sky adapter is coming

    Price is always a consideration for me. My toys are expensive and I often have to decide which one to get first.
