Note that these last 2 are also spots I cross referenced with a fishbrain app premium trial to make sure people actually catch good fish there

Got 2 more spots to add that I tried out recently (till I crashed my drone at sea yesterday - reel line tightened up for some reason just 20 ft out and drone tilted backward getting line in the propeller - retrieved reeling it in and initiating care refresh replacement). - Brickyard Cove by...

For recreational there is no need to pass a quiz, just go on the FAA website to register and pay $5.00, you can print your FAA card from there immediately after

Been told to fly straight up when seagulls bother the drone - not sure if it is of any help for you

Thanks, there are so many resources on this forum its hard navigating / finding all the right info, especially as some similar posts are a few years old and rules may have changed since. Also looking for chill surf fishing, and seems like Rockaway Beach in Pacifica is also ok? The FAA apps...

Only had my drone for a few days but have been struggling to find infos on where I can fly my drone in the SF Bay Area... So many NFZ Nature Preserves / Marin Country Parks around here it almost made me regret buying it... but I found some spots and already flew 2. I am especially interested in...

Yeah man and let's also ban drones everywhere. I mean **** these lazy film makers and photographers while you're at it. And cars too, so many lazy horseback riders... And commenting here too, I'd rather receive these comments in a handwritten letter you lazy troll! Anyways, thanks everyone else...

Nice, looks perfect for what i need too. Is the one at $35 on amazon?

Seriously considered it but felt safer as a new pilot with the dji refresh care insurance, whereas i ve read mixed reviews on Swellpro s customer support. Also want to have all the kinks of a dji for filming. So drone nerds responded right away and very apologetic and easy to work with. They...

The 2 extra batteries appear dead, they don't charge on direct attachment to the cable. Only blinking 1 bar. Sent them an email, lets see what/when they reply. It was at a good price, but nowhere did it say this was refurbished/open box. This is what I purchased DJI Mavic Pro Fly More Combo -...

So my Mavic Pro fly more combo has arrived and I think maybe I got scammed by Drone Nerds? Need advice as this is my first time unboxing a DJI: They sent me an open box, even though I bought what was listed as new. The box was resealed and all by adding a 2nd layer of the official tape on top...

Anyone considered something like this just dangling below the drone as a floating / recovery tool - seems to be good up to 3.3 lbs https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B072WS8YS3/ref=ox_sc_saved_title_1?smid=A19FCLW3US0886&psc=1

Absolutely, I definitely considered a Platinum but couldnt find myself justifying the price difference for 3 more minutes of flight vs a new battery for the pro. And I actually found a great combo deal on dronenerds @Capt KO yeah I saw on youtube that I should disable the floor sensors over...

Phantom are just too bulky for me to be able to travel with it - I even looked at the discontinued Yuneec Typhoon H as it supposedly has amazing strong wind resistance as an hexacopter. I received the Mini an hour ago, didnt even open the box and returning it now to get a Mavic Pro

Nice, I was just there 2 weeks ago!
