After looking at all the options and some of the places that I fly that have limited coverage I purchased a Marco Polo. I was still a little reluctant that it would work so I would have someone fly my drone out and set it down in a place that he knew where it was and then would go find it. I...

Koelkop, what you posted is what I was looking for, that is amazing. It’s cool to see how many flights people have, time in the air and the distance covered. We have a lot of ice fishing clubs that are starting to use them to survey cracks in the ice and where to put ice bridges. So much...

I appreciate all the replies, I asked the question as I am new to this and was looking at longevity of the Mavic and I'm interested in statistics. I probably left out one of the most important credentials when I tried to explain myself, my son and I are both very active AMA members and...

Appreciate the offer, maybe I will have to consider that

THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR HELP!!!

I’m just going to stick to my ground photos, just thought it would be fun.

I appreciate the information and my intentions are to get my 107 just to understand the laws, not to become a commercial pilot for hire as from my understanding the insurance is expensive and I already own 2 other business and don’t need more to do. So to be clear on one of the replies it is...

I’m a newbie, bought a Mavic Pro to do some video photography or get some pictures for advertising of my business. I’m a mile and a half from the airport, my controller comes up no fly zone and I can’t take off. I know of others that are getting it done , 1 in particular that is doing a...
