    Current 107 Pilot with Regulation Questions Prior to Filming Bike Race

    Thank you. It makes sense now. I've been watching the videos on the sections you referred to and yes; we must wait for compliance requirements to be posted from the FAA and then follow the necessary steps to be approved. It gets a little frustrating when these agencies add new regs well in...

    Current 107 Pilot with Regulation Questions Prior to Filming Bike Race

    Thank you for your quick response. I can make the necessary changes with the client so as not to violate the No Fly Over People regulation. However; I am curious as to why the FAA would create a new regulation that allows flights over people only to forbid you from doing it. Could you explain...

    Current 107 Pilot with Regulation Questions Prior to Filming Bike Race

    Hello All. I passed the part 107 exam in November 2020. I'm located just north of Pittsburgh, PA. As such I haven't had too many opportunities; with the winter weather; to fly much since last fall. I've been asked to film a rather large bicycle race in southwestern PA this weekend (5/22). Most...

    Mavic Enterprise; Inspire or Matrice? What is the better upgrade for Site Survey/Mapping/Search and Rescue.

    How Do You Access The Optical Zoom On MA2?

    Thanks Everyone. I checked out the YouTube Video recommended in the first reply to my post. I was mistaken in thinking that there was optical zoom available on the camera for still shots. All is well. From now on; if I need to zoom; I'll just shoot video using the necessary magnification setting...

    How Do You Access The Optical Zoom On MA2?

    Thanks brother. I just started watching this exact video about a minute before you posted your reply. My mistake was thinking that I could access zoom for still photos. Using it for video will be extremely helpful but yesterday I was just doing some quick photos for my landlord of the roof on...

    How Do You Access The Optical Zoom On MA2?

    Hello All. I was trying to find the optical zoom on DJI Fly yesterday while I was using my MA2 to inspect a roof. I was unable to locate the feature under camera or control settings. I heard this was recently made available in a firmware update. If so; does anyone know the update version? I'm...

    Here's the Case MOD I Did Using An Apache 4800 Case From Harbor Freight

    Great to hear that it's working for you. Pictures of your progress would be great. If you're taking the pics with your phone; the first thing you'll need to do is email them to yourself or; if you have a cloud drive (OneDrive; Google Drive or iCloud); just save them there and you can access them...

    Lanyard for MA2

    Heya brother. I'm not trying to jump your idea; however; I would advise not placing your weight bearing point directly on the antenna itself. It may not feel like there's a great deal of pressure on the controller when you're wearing the lanyard but after repeated use; and probably before too...

    Lanyard for MA2

    Hello All. Give this website a try. You can buy the lanyard attachment separately; although; I would highly recommend the entire MavMount assembly. It is the best tablet/phone mount I've seen on the market currently. It's designed by a Hollywood Film maker who flies DJI Mav Pro's and Inspires...
