Okay then --- the locator device, whatever it is. My point is still valid.

I was just thinking. Since this information will be available to local law enforcement, I think it's just a way to give some authority over air space to all of the Barney Fife types out there.

This is no different than a manned aircraft pilot learning to trust the instruments when they are becoming instrument-certified.

This whole idea sucks. If transponders are required in drones you can expect the cost of them to triple. Furthermore, whether or not you are breaking any rules, the Barney Fife types of LEOS will be flexing their muscles left and right, since they will know every time your bird is in the air.

Similar prices at a model club near me.

That looks pretty impressive, and at a great price point. Sony has a reputation for excellent sensors.

Thanks very much for the information. I really don't see how they could get the waiver for over the crowd of so many people. After I posted this, they were flying INSIDE the venue over the crowd... no more than 20 feet off the floor.

Our local news uses a drone and they are covering the Pennsylvania Farm Show. It's a huge venue drawing thousands of people... something like a state fair indoors and out. Tonight, the drone was flying all around the venue. It takes place at the Pennsylvania Farm Show Complex in Harrisburg, and...

I think these bans are to serve one major purpose above all of the others that are mentioned in this thread. If the NPS bans drones, bans photos in certain areas, and does things like restrict tripod and long lenses, it is so that when a tourist wants a photo of something, they must go to the...

How do you connect the Homido goggles to your setup?

You will need to use neutral density filters (ND filters.) They slide over the lens on the front of your gimbal. Polar Pro, as well as others make sets of filters.

At what altitude were you flying? It looked pretty low to me, which raises the question, "Why was a wire strung across a road at such a low height?"

I downloaded Litichi for my Mavic Pro today. Within 30 minutes, I was flying my first waypoint mission and it flew flawlessly. I'm going to love this control app..

I have a question about VLOS. Suppose I fly out over a large lake, and I can see the entire surface of the lake. If I fly my drone to the other shore from which I launch, I am unable to see the drone itself, but I have a clear view forever of the sky over the lake. Am I still flying VLOS?

I just downloaded it and you are correct.
