    Hesitant to fly in Florida

    Do you have your Part 107 unmanned pilot certificate? I'm not an attorney, but I'd just recommend not hovering at low altitude over other people''s property. If you're shooting commercially, you probably won't have any problems, however, just remember that Florida has strict Surveillance &...

    LED Manufacturer took my designs and is now selling them as their own

    I see what appears to be the same Mavic Mini mount on the FHT website.

    Mavic 2 Pro Camera Flipped After Crash

    Have you tried recalibrating the gimbal with the DJI Go App? I had to do that once after a minor crash that knocked the gimbal out of alignment and it was pointing sideways.

    Night flights

    Just FYI, only Part 107 pilots flying for business need a night waiver. If flying as a hobbyist or for fun you can fly at night without a waiver. All night flying requires anti-collision lights on the drone. Here’s the link for the night drone flying school.

    Advice from you photographers

    Definitely the Mavic 2 Pro. I regularly make large photographic wall art metal prints. The Mavic 2 Pro with a 1" CMOS and 5472×3648 resolution is good for images up to about 36"x50". Always shoot Raw.

    Bracketing for HDR etc

    I’ve had a lot of success processing my HDR images using Aurora HDR software. You can use it standalone or as a Photoshop/Lightroom plugin. Does amazing things. I always shoot Raw.

    Part 107 Certification process question

    That doesn’t apply to Part 107 applications. Just login, click on start new application and enter the numerical code on the test results page you were given after the test. You just need to enter your FTN and the test number (proof that you passed the test). No signature needed.

    Part 107 Certification process question

    Go to the IACRA website, login, and complete the online application. It’s all online, nothing needs to be mailed in.

    Remote ID app and NPRM

    Sorry. As the OP, I was just presenting an informative video from Rick at Drone Valley. Not sure why this had to turn into a battle. Again, my apologies.

    Remote ID app and NPRM

    So you won't accept video proof of these confrontations that you claimed are improbable? LOL Hey, I'm still waiting for you to respond to my #7 post above asking you to "Please convince me that allowing the general public to locate the pilot of a drone is, in some way, a good thing." I'm...

    Remote ID app and NPRM

    If flying responsibly, most people probably don't care. Most people are normal. Most people might not care about drones flying over their house or property. Most people don't rob banks. But some people actually think it's ok to shoot down a drone. Perhaps, some people could perceive a drone...

    Remote ID app and NPRM

    By not announcing my location over a loud speaker system and not transmitting my location to any iphones in the area. Seems to work so far.

    Remote ID app and NPRM

    Everyone should watch this video to understand the basic good and bad points of a Remote ID app that is only being tested by DJI at this time. Rick from Drone Valley explains things in an easy-to-understand YouTube video. And, in reference to the FAA's Notice of Proposed Rule Making on Remote...

    Hard case for Mavic 2 Pro

    Hi John. Thanks for looking. I finally found this one and hope it’s made well. Coming from China. I’ve got firehouse LED strobes on all four legs and don’t want to fold the legs. Regards. David
