    Am I "Drone Policing"?

    I'm in agreement you did the right thing. A group I'm in, when someone is caught "policing" they are usually attacked by some. I don't see an issue with pointing it out politely the way you did. It especially sounds like ignorance of the law on his part if his excuse is that his drone allowed...

    Weatherproof Protective Case

    Could this be from the cheaper Harbor Freight boxes? I've used the pelican boxes and have found the foam to come out perfectly and evenly....and hold up for quite some time. I'll post some pictures at some point of what I've done.

    DJI Drone explodes at 330 FT over US highway - Debris lands on highway I could have killed several people

    Some folks have kind of hinted at it. Was this battery manufactured in that date range where they were randomly becoming unseated and popping out? I've seen several posts of "It just fell out of the sky" and my belief is some batteries are swelling and/or popping out causing a crash. The damage...

    Arrested for flying a drone; UPDATE video

    I'm a cop and am still baffled by the behavior of these rangers. Are they actually sworn police officers? A quick google search shows a few things for those park rangers, including two that were fired. They observed a traffic violation off of park property and attempted a traffic stop. Guy just...

    Ocean City, Maryland

    It was my belief you could not fly in OC (but I don't know this for certain). There is a smaller (but very active) airport on the southern side of OC (as indicated on the map above). Additionally, OC had planes that pull advertising banners along the beach..then circle back over the bay on the...

    Minis apparently being used (illegally?) to locate deer for hunting.

    One thing that hadn't occurred to me until I read that article was the herding of animals using a drone. Why go out and hunt when you can use a drone to 'harass' the deer to come towards you lol...

    Use satellite view of flight log inside video picture in a picture

    Perfect. If you swipe up on your home screen, you’ll see your options for like flashlight, WiFi, etc. you’ll see a symbol that is a large dot with a circle around it. This is the screen recording and will record exactly what you see on your screen (and audio). If you don’t see that symbol I...

    Use satellite view of flight log inside video picture in a picture

    What device are you using? I'm not sure I entirely understand your question, however, I-Phones have a record screen option that allows you to video record everything on your screen during the flight. I've used this before to accomplish what it is I think you are sking.

    Neighbor flying drone over my house

    From the OP: My wife did and he screamed at her and got into her face. Flying it low enough to look in my windows. I live in one story house

    Neighbor flying drone over my house

    Actually, as a LEO, I am concerned about the looking in the windows. Just a drone flying around...yeah, I get it. But if he's using his drone to look into windows, that's an issue. In Maryland, he could be charged: CR 3-901(c) MISDEMEANOR $1,000.00 - 30 DAYS *1_0013* **PEEPING TOM.** ...did...

    Mavic 2 Pro falls out the sky ?

    I love DJI but it's a sad state of affairs when we are using rubber bands to keep the batteries in. With that, would this actually prevent a disconnect? I haven't seen the swollen batteries but do they swell in such a way that contact could still be lost even if a rubber band is wrapped around...

    Things not to do whilst flying your drone...

    Rookie mistake from not fully studying and understanding RTH. After I first got the bird, I kept it close by and practiced using it. I was flying at an old mental hospital with large oak trees. The lower branches are fairly high so there was plenty of room along the ground. I was doing things...

    Shooting lightning

    Thank You! I'll give it a shot. This time of year, we have regular storms that move through...I'll give it a try and see what happens.

    Shooting lightning

    This doesn't answer your question....but did you just go to the height and let the camera roll? I ask as I'd love to get some lightning strikes and didn't realize it was that simple.
