In DJI Go 4, you can go into the settings under the remote controller. Here you can access some information on the signal strength, interference and frequency. This gets out of my area of expertise, but there is a plain English section to say Signal strength : good/poor/etc. It can even...

Are you doing your RePL through a training school? When I did mine the school had a fleet of Phantoms that they made us use for insurance reasons. Nice to practice with an insured “rental” too.

I find boats fascinating, nice video. The boat in the background at 1:10 is the $300 million Motor Yacht A, I saw it off the coast in Thailand a few weeks ago. It’s impossible to miss once you’ve seen it. The same owner has Sailboat A, Russian billionaire Andrey Melnichenko.

Very nice stuff, thanks for sharing :-)

As I understand it Open Sky will only guide you to understand the airspace. Land use is where the councils or national parks may impose bylaws that restrict us on the ground.

The smart controller has a HDMI video out port on the top. I haven’t used it but this enables the connection of an external monitor/recorder. ie small HD/atamos/any brand.

How about running your strobe while doing an IMU calibration connected to the computer to test the effect it has? I was really surprised to see a video feed appear via each sensor when I did this. If the downward sensor looks different to the side sensors then you’ll have a good idea of what...

Beautiful footage [emoji3]

Sounds like you are tracking well with the planning. I would offer them a take away template Operations Manual that includes some considerations for maintenance schedules, checklists, planning template etc. For some people doing a course and getting some form of accreditation is the end of the...

Congratulations on the growing project and good on you for advocating safe and legitimate practices. The school I got my license with in Australia had a good balance of practical and theory. UAVAir.com.au I found the obstacle courses over safety cones really valuable. No looking at the screen...

I agree it can be confusing but it is worth noting that there are different levels of rules for different credentials with CASA and drones. You are welcome to try to interpret the laws as written in the Federal Register of Legislation, it's available on the web but without a law degree that...

Can I ask how secure the stickers feel? They look great but I’m curious about their longevity. Anything that may come loose and tangle with a prop would be bad news.

I have about 18 hours of flight time with the smart controller and M2P. I am happy and would recommend it. Set up/start up time is really fast. Only complaint is a very occasional lag in camera controls via touch screen input. I’ve noticed this 2-3 times in 18 hours of flight logs. I am now...

If license plate = drone ID then does serial number = VIN number in this case? I think the remote ID is a good thing but the type of data that is offered to the public has to be measured. Let’s hope this helps to shape the industry in a positive way. I do use remote ID as I have to fly in...

Good on you for looking at this project from a safe and legal perspective. I can’t offer insights to the US laws on the matter but if you document your effort to mitigate risks and lower the likelihood of an incident. You can prove if ever required, that your intentions were to conduct a safe...
