I have been repeatedly frustrated with DJI's flight restrictions. First, I unlocked an area that I was going to visit in the mountains that happened to near a very small airport. THREE times I went there and had an unsuccessful unlock each time. Another, more recent adventure, I was in the high...

One of my batteries is staying fully charged when it has been sitting for 1 week. I have to turn the drone on and let it sit until battery depletes 50%. Any thoughts?

How did you shoot the tilt shots?

When I am flying I sometimes get a manned aircraft warning. The warning will go on and on and on. I get it, there is an aircraft in the area. How can I shut that woman off?

jeeze people, just fly the drone, be careful and use common sense. As for the VLOS garbage: With vision that is unaided by any device other than corrective lenses, the remote pilot in command, the visual observer (if one is used), and the person manipulating the flight control of the small...

I understand that. The only files on my iPad have a .log extension.

I tried to upload my latest data from my iPad. The file extension is .log and AirData will not accept the file. I noticed my previous uploaded files had a .txt extension. Is there some reason I cannot upload flights from an iPad?

I have a Mav 2. Is there a way to enter gps coordinates and have the unit fly to those coordinates?

I live in socal also. Any kind of populated area is going to give give you interference. Boats with all those radios are going to cause problems. Cell towers etc. Just way too much noise. I took my mav 2 out to the desert and flew it across the Salton sea. Personal best at 4.3 miles. Could have...

Decided to film some fireworks at a nearby Casino resort near me. Got to my spot (resort’s golf course) before sundown and took some practice flights. The golf course backs up to mountainous wilderness. The lights go down and the fireworks start. A few minutes into filming…CRASH!! I hit some...

Any suggestions for a lightweight backpacking solar charger?

Yes, however, the sculptures are not in the park and the hills I described are near my house. 70 miles from Anza Borrego

Again, I was flying my Mavic 2 is a remote area that had a hiking trail up to a peak on a large hill. I flew over to the peak and there were some hikers at the top. A couple of them waved at me but one guy started throwing rocks. I left and flew off to another distant hill. There was a climber...

Why do people hate drones? I made a video OUT IN THE DESERT. No people anywhere. Just me, my dog and my Mavic 2. I posted said video to a couple Facebook groups specifically for this desert ( Anza Borrego). What I got was a lot of likes and comments. There were also plenty of drone haters...

This is a wonderful video. For such a stunning subject and as a viewer, I would have liked to see more of the castle. Also, Just as I get captured by the beauty, of each shot/clip it ends and it's off to another. Give the viewer time to take it in. Wonderful video but could have been at least...
