    What's up fellow pilots. Coming to you from Compton, Cali

    Welcome, David. I live out in Hemet. There is a lot of knowledge in this forum, so you will learn all that you need.

    Autel vs DJI

    I agree. I bought a Lite+ just for that reason. I'm beginning to fly it more often than the DJI's. I love the quality and the way it flies.

    Mavic 3 Pro Suicide Slammed itself into rocks

    Did the pilot "accidentally" pull back on the stick because of panic in a situation where there was NO GPS? I swimply wouldn't fly in those situations, but to each his own. Chalk it up to pilot error.

    Mavic 3 Pro Suicide Slammed itself into rocks

    I disagree. You shouldn't fly under those conditions. Especially if you don't know what you're doing. So you don't think GPS is important to a safe and stable flight? REALLY? I've been doing it wrong all along then. Four years of experience down the drain. Sorry, but I disagree with you. The...

    Mavic 3 Pro Suicide Slammed itself into rocks

    I looks like there were problems with GPS on every flight, especially when you are nearest the canyon wall. There were indications you were having gimbal issues as well, even in the earlier flights. This canyon is over 500 feet deep, according to Google Earth. After the 5th flight you moved to...

    Remote ID sub 250g used for rec and 107

    Your drone can be "re-registered." I just did it at the suggestion of a well-known pilot. I unregistered my Mini 2 under part 107 and re-registered it under Recreational.

    Flying Over 400ft

    Sorry, but you are wrong! Read the entire section as a whole. You don't have time to watch the video, but you have time to comment on it, even though you don't fully understand the law. Paragraph a is talking about not using a device, like binoculars. Paragraph b is clarifying that the PIC, the...

    Flying Over 400ft

    Ken had a Visual Observer, so he was following FAA guidelines.

    RODS OR CONES

    I can't remember, but according to this I would assume rods. https://www.cis.rit.edu/people/faculty/montag/vandplite/pages/chap_9/ch9p1.html

    Trying to decide if I should return the Mini 3 Pro and just get a Mini 2 FMC? Help me decide!

    Prominent reviewers that I follow on YouTube seem to have range/connection problems with the RC, and some have fewer issues using the regular controller and an iPhone or tablet.

    Trying to decide if I should return the Mini 3 Pro and just get a Mini 2 FMC? Help me decide!

    I was really excited about the Mini 3 when it was first due to release. I quickly lost interest because of the delays in shipping and the negative reviews. I purchased the Mini 2 in August of last year because I wanted to use it as a 'scout' for my M2P and P4P. I ended up flying it more often...

    Police question

    Doubtful that local law enforcement would have the technology needed for any of that, but: https://mavicpilots.com/threads/u-s-secret-service-visit.127391

    What's the obsession with sub-250g drones?

    I started out by purchasing the M2P in 2019 because I wanted to start a business eventually and I really enjoyed flying it at every opportunity. I added the P4P V2.0 last year because I needed the mechanical shutter. Shortly after that, I purchased the Mini 2 to use as a scout for my first visit...

    Lost my Mavic pro 2. Should I get an used pro 2 vs upgrade to Mavic 3

    I bought the Tripltek 8 Pro to use with all of my drones. Love it. 1200 nits steady.
