Assuming that no aircraft fly over your land EVER, I would still be concerned about high altitude winds and losing the drone. It was just recently that my drone was swept away by the winds and carried over 2000 ft away. I thought for sure it was gone forever, and that was only a couple hundred...

I have a very similar story. A few days ago, it was very windy. So windy that I knew there would be no actual flying, but I still intentionally took my MA out to see how it would handle in strong winds compared to larger drones I’ve flown. My plan was to simply hover and see how well it holds...

Good luck. I tried reaching out to them for several days on Twitter with no response. Finally, I emailed them and explained my interest in their full cinematography set of ND filters and asked if they had any coupons they could provide or any upcoming sales. Their response was basically “We...

Wouldn’t the easiest thing Apple could do is build a working helipad on/in or somewhere around their campus? It seems like that would set up a NFZ in most software.

Honestly, I don’t think the FAA plays middleman at all. The use of an FAA registration number is for them and them only (and most likely law enforcement) so that they can identify a drone owner when they want to take action against them. I’ve not heard one story of the FAA reaching out to a...

The FAA will not release any details about the registrant. Owners need to remember to also put their name & phone number on the drone.

I just went through this... there is NO way to change your email address with DJI or in the Go app. I know, it’s 2018... Who doesn’t program in a way to update your email address?! Your option is to either keep using your old email to log in or create a new account. :/

For those of you who use a 9.7” iPad, do you prefer the mount which puts it above the controller (F.stop Labs) or over top (Hooshion)? I’ve been trying to decide on which iPad setup is best. Thanks!

Amazing music video and the song is really catchy. As others have mentioned, there are a few things that could be improved but it still turned out great and I’m sure it was a huge learning experience. Taking what you now know, I imagine your next music video is going to be even better, and the...

Wow, what a smashing debut!

You might want to use the data on your phone for loading maps and such, in which case, I’d just turn on Do Not Disturb instead.

Something I’ve actually been thinking about lately since I’m puttibg these type of stickers on my drones also... how much of a reward would you actually be offering?

I’ve been away from the drone community for several months. The last I heard, hobbyists did not have to register. Now I see that has changed as of December 2017. I looked at the FAA website today but was a little confused as to which way and under which category I need to register. - I own 2...

Wow, I feel like the point has just zoomed right past you. It’s like when a new draconian law is passed and people say, “I’m not a criminal so I don’t care.” It’s not just about YOU, but about the commmunity as a whole. Of course, it never affects you... until it does. Until one day someone...

Yes, this seems to work just fine. It’s exacrly what I did to charge my batteries and remote at the same time when I first got my MA.
