Is it safe to assume the MP3 will use the same cumbersome DJI geofencing and unlock process as the MP2?

Something interesting happened today. I was flying a pro-bono roofing inspection job (trying to keep an old friend off a high roof), and on our way to the job site, I was promoting professional services, and communicating the benefits of using a drone for such work. The site was 2nm from an...

Lots of abbreviations for one ”recreation“ area!

Yes, thanks. One more, that I thought I uploaded yesterday (also at Dix):

Thanks! We’re in town now, so if anyone has more ideas, let’s hear them! Hoping the winds die off a little.

Haven't been there in about 18 years, but headed there this weekend for a conference. Any tips on good places to fly?

I can only surmise that the puffing is a result of some time in the back of my car in the summer. I tried to limit the number of days, but since the batteries auto-discharge, this practice must've led to the slight puffing that I've noticed.

I checked out Falls Lake, but there were a lot of people there, and I didn't want to ruin their experience. There MAY have been a sign there indicating that UAS flight is prohibited, so check ahead on state park ordinances. I enjoyed flying around Halifax Mall, it was wide open (no trees), got...

I just called DJI, thinking that I could use the last month of my DJI Care Refresh to replace two puffed batteries, but there's no practical way to do it. Their policy states that I need to send in the Mavic (which is 100% fine), take a photo of ONE battery, including the SN, and they will send...

I still have to hook up to the PC to find out for sure, but if they do cover it (and I'm expecting they will from what I've read), it will be an easy justification for another year of DJI Care refresh

I, too, see some puffing in 2 of my batteries. I have left mine fully charged in the past, as DJI's manual indicates that there is,circuitry to self-discharge to prevent damage. I have to wonder if this is covered by DJI Care Refresh?

Visited yet again this week, was hoping to fly during a visit to Cape May, but made the mistake of looking up NJ ordinances and got gunshy. The ordinances I found indicated that flying wasn't permitted at state-maintained properties, and I couldn't tell if the beaches were state-operated, but...

It is from the mid-point of the runway(s).

Any good pics from this spot?
