    Can I take a boxed drone on plane

    It isn't so much can you take a drone on a plane, its what happens when you get to the other side and customs, if you don't have the necessary paperwork they will confiscate it. so check with the UAE embassy first

    Helicopter flying towards drone. Tips?

    Mini 2 Early Morning Fog

    Was the drone facing into the sun? the 2nd photo would suggest it may have been.

Reason; the camera looks at the brightest part of the image and the result is over exposure where...

    Mavic 2 on the INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION ???

    simple answer no complex answer it will be travelling at 17,227 mph even if it does not move, therefore it will be the fastest moving drone in recorded history AND its range, depending on a 30 minute battery no return to base, is approx 2390miles :)
