I had this same issue I just updated the drone and it went away but all photoage I thought I had captured wasn't there because it was still telling me it was recording but when I stopped recording and went to check the video it wasn't there and was never found after but after the update it did...

yeah I just found that out I personally would still keep to just 2 spares just in case there's a confusion or some unforeseen conflict and also I don't want to have to carry anymore than that I'll find someway to misplace one of them if I have any more than that.

this doesn't include the battery already in the drone although I did just look the mavic 2 does fall under the 100 Wh exception as well as many other drones. although I'm surprised he wasn't stopped 21 batteries is a lot.

aren't you only allowed 2 extra batteries?

I'd suppose your right 150 feet is not much of a distance but the balloon is rather slow and 150 ft is just my threshold. I likely wont even need anything closer than 300 ft or 400 even. this is all assuming that the balloon is flying below 400ft, flying conditions are near perfect, and I...

the drone could fall off. I don't know how strong the balloon is but I'd figure if the drone hit the balloon and its big and strong enough it could damage and make a hole

oh yeah that's definitely illegal. unless if they had airspace authorization they could fly above that. LANDING ON THE BALLOON! I'd be surprised if they didn't receive any backlash from that I mean dang that's some skill but it could've ended badly.

well yeah I'm not to attracted to the idea of this as well I understand the dangers of this I forgot to mention I made this post mostly for "theory" if you will. just an idea since I'm bored. if I do go though I will make sure I don't get close especially since I want the scenery in the...

when I visit my grandma there's these 2 hot air balloons that tend to fly over the area of her house and I want to take my drone to take pictures but I can already identify 2 possible issues. 1. what does the FAA say about flying near/around hot air balloons and 2. how would I make it clear...

I used to have one just like that I got it as a Christmas gift from my grandma. somehow though the micro controller onboard corrupted or something shorted but after some time of not using it I went to charge it and even with the power switched to off when I plugged it in the the motors would...

thank you so much and im glad you enjoyed you stay here as well

why would I need a trash bag?

If you don't have to pay as much gas as the drone is worth its worth it

that's for the orientation of the drone to the subject. . the icon in the middle is just a form of classification of the subject if it can tell what your trying to track such as a person or car. to use it to control the drone drag the point to where you want the drone positioned to the subject...

ah I see lol yeah I'd probably have to just help her pilot it or something or look into another gift like the osmo mobile although becuase shes not technologically advanced it would take some time for her to figure it out. doesn't it have voice control in the app as well?
