    Palm Bay Florida

    This one runs on natural gas and is running at full capacity. The "strong interference detected" warning was popping up on my screen like a strobe light from quite a distance away from the plant. But I never lost GPS signal. Sent from my iPad using MavicPilots

    I did fly over the new power plant up the road that replaced this one and I had all sorts of interference issues. I still got pretty close to it though. Sent from my iPad using MavicPilots

    Palm Bay Florida

    Not at all, it is completely decommissioned. I got within about 20 feet of the top of the stacks without any problems. I also flew low over the distribution substation next to the plant and it was fine. Sent from my iPad using MavicPilots

    One of the best places to fly in Brevard county is Fay Lake Wilderness Park in Port Saint John. It's a great open place to fly over land, water, track dirt bike riders, and FPV without worrying about being around a lot of people. One place I have been meaning to fly over and video is simply...

    I recently flew around a Decommissioned power plant near my house. It proved to be an awesome place to practice aerial maneuvers to get better videos or photos. Sent from my iPad using MavicPilots

    Lowepro Slingshot Edge 150 AW

    I do a lot of urban exploring using both a Osmo Pro and a Mavic Pro. I use two Lowepro Edge Sling 250 bags and a Pelican 1510 hardcase. One sling bag is for my Osmo and all it's attachments and batteries, the other is for the Mavic and it's remote and batteries. In the 1510 case I keep the...

    DBS MODS MAVIC BATTERY MOD AND ANTENNA MOD!

    Long distance flying takes some getting used to as you have to put complete trust in the remote, aircraft, and software working in harmony reliably. If not, it will usually just trigger the aircraft's RTH feature. Once you become comfortable setting up waypoint missions and running them you'll...

    Great video commercial showing the goggles

    I wish there were photos of what it looks like while looking though them. What the HUD graphics look like, what info the HUD displays and stuff like that.

    Palm Bay Florida

    I'd love to start some kind of Brevard group or meetup where several drone pilots can carpool to unique places like lighthouses and other scenic spots to do some aerial photography. A favorite place of mine is Ponce inlet lighthouse and the nearby lighthouse point park. I find that they are...

    Palm Bay Florida

    Pleasure to meet you, I'm Dan. I haven't found any dedicated quadcopter groups in Brevard County so far. I mostly fly near me in Cocoa at Fay Wilderness Park, Nicol Park, and the beaches. One place down by you that I'd love to fly around and explore is The Compound. I have heard about it but I...

    DJI Mavic Pro controller screen protector

    You could just take a screen protector that's meant for a smart phone and cut it to fit the remote control after making a template of the remote control's screen.

    Ebay price gouging

    Just like any new gadget that has a lot of hype surrounding it, some people will pay ANY amount of money to get their hands on it first for bragging rights or to resell it for an even more obnoxious amount of money. If it's sold on an auction sight like eBay and some dumbass is dumb enough to...
