<<Sarcasm_Enable=1>>Being the risk taker I am I am going to fly somewhere in an aircraft navigating via GPS, rent a car and use GPS to go somewhere cool, fly my drone and take some great images. Afterwards I will raise a toast in silent memory of all the cowards who were afraid to trust...

IMHO the problem with using the RC arms is they don't work with a protective case on the phone/tablet. The very first flight with my mavic pro a couple of years ago resulted in me having to remove the thin protective case from my iPhone 7s+ to get it to fit in the rubber gripping of the arms. As...

Sorry to see this happened to you. I do have a thought however: Since you know more or less exactly where it is at and if you are on Facebook try pinging this group "OpenROV Trident Pilot's Group" to see if there is anyone in your area with an ROV that might be able to help you find the drone...

Be careful what you wish for. This is really a double edged sword. If your goal is to block more /most people from flying drones then the cost to you to fly will go up. Also they will pile on a **** load of process - imagine having to file a flight plan, get approval, get clearance to to take...

I recall when activated my Mavic Pro at some point DJI forced me to take a rather simplistic quiz to continue to fly. IMHO something of that nature would not be obtrusive at all if it were part of the FAA registration process.

It seems quite likely the military would be able to go well beyond the basic technology of jamming the communications link. It also seems likely they aren't going to advertise what countermeasures they have or might have and when they would use them. I am certain that I personally do not want...

By default the S/P/T switch is won't do anything other that P mode. Go into the Settings, Main Controller Settings, and enable Multiple Flight Modes to get access to sport mode and tripod mode.

My new rules: 1. Never fly the Mavic anyplace I am not willing to go to recover it. 2. Never fly the Mavic anyplace I am not willing to accept that it is lost forever. It is so cool to use the Mavic to see things you can't otherwise view so I suspect that I will always intend to follow rule #1...

DJI Care has a fee if you do a replacement. I think that is the $119 quote.

I bought a Goal Zero Yeti 1000 for $1000 at Costco and it is freaking awesome. I bought it when I went on the total eclipse expedition to oregon last year and it lasted 3 days in the field and never got to 50% - kept all my gadgets (phone, ipad, camera batteries) fully charged, powered my LED...

I have a mini 4 (w/LTE) and I also removed all the non essential apps. No issues with it. Well except for breaking the screen - which is really easy to do. Rumor has it that Apple will be updating the iPads this year. Haven't heard anything I would believe is definitive about the updates and...

Canon only supports their raw format in their SW, many other commercial photo editing applications will accept DNG.

Why could you not just post the video on your own youtube channel and then the non-profit org can link to it?

Yes, it was a poorly written law for the act as they committed it. It was amended in 2017 to deal with the specific case where basically as I understand it defined privacy to include areas of your body which are reasonably discreetly covered so as not to be publicly viewable. I am only slightly...

The platinum was designed for the low noise props and was set up for them out of the box. The Pro is set up for the older props. I had the vibration issue when I upgraded to the 8331 props on my Pro. There were forum posting on this a few months back. As stated adjusting the gain down to 90%...
