Trump administration seeks authority to intercept drone communications to thwart domestic attacks

I have it (waterproof model). Works perfectly. I’d buy it again. Tested it at nearly a mile. Got me within a few feet.

I have the Marco Polo on my Mavic Pro. I works as advertised. The receiver screen gets you within a few feet of the transmitter. The range is 1-2 miles depending on terrain, obstacles, etc. Combined with the Go4 Find my Drone, a great solution. No cell phone charges and good range was why I...

iPad Air 2. Why is HDMI output important? After flight I download from card to computer and play or edit the 4K video.

Mounting The Marco Polo Tracker

My Marco Polo let me find the Mavic a few weeks ago. It was nearly a mile away and under a large bush. Not visible while walking around. With its separate receiver it doesn’t use cell or GPS. No monthly charges. I did a post a month or so ago about mounting it.

Rear sensors and fly around obstacles are “nice to have” but if u pay attention... The two deal-breakers for me are the controller’s lack of a screen and, more importantly to me, shorter flight time. I’m sticking with my MP.

iPad Air 2. Mavmount. Hoodman sunshade. Perfect

Here’s mine Mounting The Marco Polo Tracker

Very much like mine. Yet another $5 shot in the rear end. Litchi really needs to fix this. Great idea. Lousy implementation. I did get a reply from them. They said its because of a slow connection. Not correct. I have FIOS. VERY high up and download speeds. That is in the house. How can they...
