I've been flying quads since 2010 (we used to build our own) and have had a few interactions with law enforcement, but none ended poorly. Most of the time, it was good cops doing their job by responding to a citizen inquiry or complaint. I have learned that acquiescence is the better part of...

I know this belongs in the Matric Pilots forum, but I am more comfortable with the level of expertise of the folks here. I guess I'm just looking for a little feedback or maybe some help. I was out flying my m30t this past week looking for wildlife down in the everglades. I brought the drone...

I usually fly between 200 and 300 ft on my way to and from a destination. Even exploring. At that altitude, the drone is almost silent. And very difficult to see. I have had neighbors shoot at it before when I used to fly it lower.

I just wear my bright orange vest that says on the back, part 107 FAA certified pilot. Stand back. No one seems to bother me as long as I wear that

Who are you????

I posted this question before but to the wrong forum. I am curious to know if there is a capability for a digital zoom on the M2Pro. I like the idea of zooming for aerial surveillance purposes but can handle final zooming in post-processing. Maybe something like just blowing up the screen view?

Getting both. Just not going to eat until next year.

My first mavic had all kinds of problems and DJI said to return it because it was defective. Got my second mavic and had the same problems and this time returned it for a refund. I have been flying the Phantom's since 2014 and at this point and convinced that that is the way to go. I have had...

Absolutely. Thought about that when I had the problems. Sent this one back for a replacement. Hopefully better luck this time.

I did some video and stills and it was OK, but I probably wasn't close enough. But here's the weird part; I had a very difficult time landing the drone. I mean, it descended at around 0.5 feet per second and it seemed like it took forever to get it down from 200ft! Thought I was going to run...

Just got the RMA. I appreciate the fact that others have been able to resolve these issues but I read dozens if not close to a hundred posts of people having similar issues. It would just make sense that it would not be so complicated to fix these problems. I guess I am more disappointed than...

Just purchased a new Mavic Pro a couple of weeks ago and have had nothing but problems. Controller give the message "SYS WARNING CHECK APP" and I have done all that has been recommended, including switching to iOS, uninstalling and reinstalling, changing devices, upgrading and downgrading, etc...
