PhiliusFoggg: When I plug the drone into the computer via USB, I get two drives mounted in Windows - one is what I am fairly certain is the drone's internal video memory, and the other is the SD card. Most of the time, I CAN access the internal memory through Windows, but there were a few days...

My phone actually has a bigger SD chip than the one that came with the drone :-) I always delete videos/pix from the drone after transferring them to my computer. The idea behind the question about transferring to my phone was about what to do if the drone should crash into a tree where I can't...

Thanks for your reply. Some of my questions are me trying to think ahead to the possibility of the drone crashing somewhere i can't reach and me wanting to retrieve the video before the battery dies. But knowing that the gallery quality is inferior, that answered that. Thanks!

Hi. I've had my Pro 2 for a few weeks and am loving it! It's amazing how well it handles no matter how much wind gets thrown at it! I have a few questions that I haven't found answers for yet: 1. Is it normal when I connect the drone via USB cable to my computer that the internal drone memory...

Thanks for all the replies - sounds like I'll go commercial eventually :) Can you clarify the one part where I'd need different registration numbers on my drone? I only have one drone and don't intend to buy another, so would I have to put two registration numbers on there (recreational and...

Hi. I'm thinking of doing the work of getting a professional drone license, but I have two questions. 1. Are there any disadvantages to having a commercial license instead of a recreational one, e.g. in regards to where I can fly or how close to an airport I can fly? 2. Once I have a...

I found one thing in my search: While Minneapolis and St. Paul do not allow flying (i.e. take off, landing, operating) within a park, I have been unable to find anything forbidding drone activity in Apple Valley and Burnsville. So parks within those two city limits may be a possibility. (I...

I'd appreciate that, but the River is part of National and State Parks. I know technically only take-off and landing is illegal there, but I understand the reasoning for not wanting drones there, and I do not want to bother the wildlife if I can avoid it (I sometimes see eagles near the river...

I got to fly my Mavic 2 Pro yesterday for the first time. Not in an ideal spot, so I didn't have enough room to maneuver for the automated elements, but already I was utterly blown away - while the drone was NOT blown away by the wind :-) It hovered in place and laughed at the wind! I also...

Thanks everyone for the wonderful welcome :) I have the KittyHawk apps and know how to request permissions to fly near the airport, so I'm good on that :) I'll still have to find some more places where it's 100% legal to fly - other than my house ;-)

Hi. I have liked RC helicopters for years - I own a few (very cheap) ones, most of them too cheap to hold their position in a room without moving air. Earlier this year, I bought a cheap $70 drone to see if I'd like it - same thing, the tiniest bit of wind will blow it away - but it was enough...

Hi. Trying to resurrect this thread. I have a Mavic Pro 2 on the way. Sounds like areas I CANNOT fly in are: - Parks (National, State, City, especially Mississippi) - Directly at the airport (but I can fly within the 5 mile radius at low altitude as long as I get permissions granted...
