    Question for the Atlanta folks

    Piedmont park has some fields that some people use. I've never flown there since I'm in Dunwoody. Was gonna go check it out once I'm able to walk comfortably again (Racquetball injury - sprained ankle). Morgan falls in Sandy Springs seems like a good place to drive to; walk less than a half...

    Question for the Atlanta folks

    I'm interested in getting some footage of the lake off the morgan falls dock. I called the sandy springs response center and they said that they don't have any regulations against drone flying (or quadcopters as I prefer to call them). The park can get pretty populated but the lake is empty...

    Refresh Or Not

    Hmmm! $79 for the first incident? Not my experience. Purchased my Mavic in March from Atlanta (along with $99 refresh); crashed in May in Mexico; sent it back to DJI mid June in California.

    Confusion about DJI refresh program

    DJI has a Refresh verification tool on their website. Just put in the new aircraft serial number, a robot prevention code and it shows the state of the refresh for that serial number. I'm good! it show both old and new aircraft serial #'s with the accurate time left.

    question about RTH altitude ?

    question about RTH altitude ?

    I have my bird set to a RTH altitude of 30 meters (at least that's what the display says). I also have unit of measurement set to imperial (united states). When I was testing my RTH function, it seems to only go to a height of 30 feet instead of 30 meters. is it true that when the system is...

    I'm flying to Mexico in a few days and doing some research about traveling w LiPos. On the Delta website says that any battery with under 25 grams of lithium is permitted as carry-on. I'm just about certain that these batteries are under their threshold but got to wondering how many grams of...
