    Seriously? This is illegal?

    There are a lot of interesting responses on this thread, I do roof, gutter, yard, slope, downspout and lanslide inspection on my home and property at least twice a year. It is really rainy on the Oregon Coast... We have had 4 + inches of rain this week alone and the drains need to work. To...

    Flying over water.

    I totally agree. I am not sure what the altitude is exactly when the drone switches from visual to GPS, or even if it does. But I am certain I read or saw info relating to that... I'll do a test before the weather gets funky. And yes ... I fly over the ocean and rivers literally ALL the time...

    2 Pro Heceta Head Lighthouse 2024

    My first three attempts to document this Landmark were stifled due to dangerously high winds and visibility issues, not to mention VLOS... My Mavic 2 Pro brought these images home to share! And what better place to share than here! Up Close and personal. No color correction except slightly...

    Reviving dead batteries - a heads up

    Good on you... Caution is the operative word here. Some of us have many, many batteries for our aircraft(s). I know it is a pain sometimes, but regular battery maintenance is a required task. Think about that flashlight or weather station in your home.. (or any other device that uses batteries)...

    Mavic 2 pro vs air 2s vs mini 3 pro for professional photography

    This is a humble example of what a Mavic 2 Pro can do. I made 4 figures on my first batch of these postcards. They sell out everywhere they are displayed. I have seen much better work from a lot of pilots on this forum, but since you are asking I thought I would throw my 2 cents in. To be...

    Another waypoint question

    Well that is all and good. But what did you do to "figure this out"? How did you do your way-point mission? Did you "pre plan it? or did you do it on "the fly"?
