    How flying a drone led to an arrest....

    He told you why in the video. He fought to preserve his rights granted to him under the constitution and is a proud veteran willing to stand up for those rights. He also stated he was observing the law when told to land as the TFR took affect. These clowns are campus police who know little, if...

    How flying a drone led to an arrest....

    It sounds like you have never served your country in the military which gives every citizen the rights guaranteed in the constitution. By bowing to authority which is unjustified, you're giving up your rights. He was challenging the police because he knew his rights.

    Blurry footage when turning.

    The say the video was shot in 4K but it didn't look like it here. The images never snapped to sharpness like most 4K video.

    Batteries slightly swelling after flight...cause of concern?

    Personal experience. I had a Mavic Pro that I flew for 7 years and was proud I never crashed it. I was noticing some swelling, but didn't retire them. Flying in a park close by and suddenly the drone dropped out of the sky. The swelling got bad enough that it forced the clips holding the battery...

    Flying in Anaheim

    A cute slogan, but better referred to as "the land of lines" where you spend most of your time waiting in line for the ride you want.

    Flying in Anaheim

    You're right, you can't fly within 5 miles of Disneyland and it shouldn't be called temporary, because it isn't. Anaheim PD drones do have a waiver to fly over.

    2024 updates on So California Beaches

    I've never been hassled at any OC beaches, but if you're worried stay above 200' and don't be a nuisance.

    The Frustration with Search and Rescue

    Victims of the hurricane were heard crying out for help on communications equipment and this is why he felt compelled to help. So, in your humble opinion, it is better to keep out rescue aircraft from this airspace than to allow this chopper into the area and rescue victims? Helicopters often...

    The Frustration with Search and Rescue

    In situations where a county is overwhelmed by a disaster, the local agency creates their own fiefdom without regard to the needs of the people they serve. This Asst Chief Chris Melton who issued the threat to arrest the helicopter pilot was protecting his turf, so to speak. Rather than having...

    Low flying wart hogs

    Why build anything near an airport. What would happen if someone crashed?

    Putting my Mini 4 Pro through the paces

    Tried to watch your flights but you were making the viewer sick by turning quickly in one spot. Try rounding your turns and make it easier to watch.

    Is Mini 4k better than orig Mavic Air?

    I've learned there is a difference between a Mini 4K and a Mini 4 Pro.

    Is Mini 4k better than orig Mavic Air?

    I went from the Mavic Pro to the Mini 4 Pro and was prepared to worry about the wind just picking up the Mini 4 and taking it away. I was amazed how well it performed in the wind and believe it to be just as good as the Mavic Pro. I assume that OA means obstacle avoidance which was noted above...

    SFPD & Drones 2024

    I was able to see Anaheim Police Departments drone force displayed at a local event and they are having great success. In the case of serving warrants, when the victim sees the drone circling the house, they simply give up to officers outside. They also use DJI without hesitation. When looking...
