I don't know if this would work, but I have been toying around with the idea of a shielded landing pad. I was thinking about making a diy pad or using a store bought one and putting RFID Anti-Magnetic shielding fabric on the bottom of the pad. The stuff is really cheap, comes in a roll...

I was thinking about getting one, but after some research, the Neo 2 rumors suggest a 1 inch sensor and better stability. So think I will wait. Everyone complains about the low image quality on the current version. DJI always seems to be lurking around to common customer wishes of improvement...

I just got a brand new Air 3s on Amazon believe it or not. No problems, only too about 1 week. Standard pricing too. Yet DJI says out of stock.

The one thing this all highlights though is the sub 249g drones are not any more safer than the ones a little larger than that. Part of the whole arrangement about small drones like that was about how safe they would be even if in an accident.

That guy who did that can more than afford it. He was a big shot CTO at several tech companies making video games racking in billions. Don't know his net worth but I am sure it's in the double digits of millions of dollars. At least he got jail time. Community service is a joke, did you know...

The writing seems to be on the walls for DJI. The ban is coming, time to buy is now before the deadline hits and people realize it's for real.

Are you guys kidding? Have you ever been to Griffith? There are tones of planes, helicopters, buzzing that hill every day. More people go up there to see the city lights than actually look at the stars. Not to mention the people pointing lasers up in the sky to show where some planet is or...

That's not a working Obseratory, it hasnt been for many, many decades. It was built in 1933 for people in mind and it's purely a tourist attraction. Griffith's objective was to make astronomy accessible to the public, as opposed to the prevailing idea that observatories should be located on...

You guys almost had me thinking I was silly about not wanting to hand catch until I saw this:

Well the "park" is techinlly only that part of grass and trees on the bluff. If you take the trail down to the rocky beach, I wonder if it's techniclly still forbiden to fly a drone from there? Is the beach still part of the park?

I was going to ask, would a cut resistant glove work?

I love the idea of hand catching and launching, and I did try it with a mini 2 but the Air 2S is a lot bigger, a lot heavier and with meaner blades. I know there are a lot of videos on it, but how many of you actually do this? Everyone says the blades can do some serious damage to your fingers...

Someone who is buddies with the FAA Drone guy Kevin? Needs to do a Q and A video with him about how complex this is and how they realistically except people to comply with it in realistic terms not in theory. He was doing a ton of videos with various You Tubers before this, haven't seen him do...

I don't get all this talk about thousands of dollars and lawsuits with an 18 year old kid. Not saying what he did was right, but realistically, he has no money, maybe not even a car. If it's his drone, you can't sue his parents because he's an adult. Chances are very high he has no insurance...

12 ways the Air2S is better than the Min 3
