If DJI or some other App can automatically show me permitted flying areas. I think I last remember flying when you checked for nearby airports or school zones on your own. If there's an auto-generated map app, I'll add that or check that. Seems like by now that ought to be a thing. : )...

I was thinking with a helium aided drone your airtime could be vastly extended. Something like with the mini which is light. But it would take a bit more of a contraption then just attaching a balloon to it. And you might need a device to deflate the balloon some to bring it down. No doubt...

Never say never. (Except to flying cars, that will never happen j/k) Drone doesn't have to fly over a road directly to take a camera shot, as it can take an angled shot if so designed. I don't know enough about the FAA to say one way or another but found this when I looked up exemptions...

Not really news that more state entities are finding ways to use drones. Was just thinking with some high performance drones highway patrol may start pacing speeders and then dropping them down taking a pic of the license. And possibly even pulling over the front of the vehicle and turning on...

Maybe best tornado footage ever.

I got out my mini 2 yesterday. Worked fine about a month ago. How does a motor go bad in between uses? 3 motors start, but when one doesn’t spin, it shuts down completely. I’m the only one in the house, no one else could have messed with it. It’s updated with latest software. That one...

Thanks for replies. I still have an option to see if Best Buy can get it loaded. I got it loaded on my less powerful computer, but it runs poorly. I may go and get Hitfilm again which I used for a little while.

Hi. Upgraded my SSD to a larger size. Or rather Best Buy did it. Anyway, when I tried to load the free version of Resolve, I got a couple warnings to continue or block some actions of DaVinci. I blocked them, thinking if something didn't work I'd just go back and undo the operation. Well...

I never actually tested how high you can see a drone shadow. I will do a test with my mini2 sometime this week just to see.

I’m stealth, yet not stealth. I’m not hiding, but choosing the least conspicuous position. btw, depending on the sun, the shadow of the drone may show up on the tennis court.

As far as I know, as long as the drone isn't actually hovering, it won't descend, unless by malfunction or hitting something. Am I wrong?

Btw, if you're flying low through trees (forest) and there is no open canopy overhead, setting it to hover in place is a good option for signal loss.

Thanks, I'm going to give it a try. As for gear. I have a Samsung Galaxy 7 which is 64 bit. I also have a very new cheap Blu, phone, and have no idea what it's running. But I bought it for the screen size. Mini Ipad 4 but no cellular. Don't have a sim for any phone though, only use cheap...

I have the BT-300s when using my Spark. Now wondering if this will work on my Mini 2.
