    Mavic 2 buyers poll. Which one did you get?

    I ordered my zoom on the first from Best Buy and it came yesterday. Gotta love all the rewards zone points I am getting for this. It’s going straight towards another battery lol. The zoom is perfect for me and to be completely honest I would have paid more for the zoom feature than I would for...

    Columbus, Ohio

    I live outside Lancaster and work in Dublin. I fly occasionally here in Dublin if it’s a super nice day and I want to get out of my office for a little bit on lunch. I always make sure to clear my flights with OSU’s tower. I would meet up and fly with people in the area or take recommendations...

    Flying near Blue Ridge Parkway and got warnings.

    I did fly because I called and spoke to the tower prior to flying and had permission. I am not going to get myself into trouble with a drone and risk my regular pilot license with the FAA.

    Phantom's used by ISIL for recon, "bombing"

    He recovered it. That's all that is required isn't it? LMAO!

    Drones Threatened Nuclear Facilities

    Hell just looking at the forums here only half the people if that follow the rules anyways and argue the few minor regulations we have. Of course anyone with ill intent isn't going to follow any rules. Just like gun control. Gun control isn't the problem, most people are responsible gun owners...

    Camera and gimbal issues while recording

    Give it a shot without the gimbal cover to see if it is causing some sort of interference. If not best of luck brother. I haven't had to deal with DJI support but the thought scares me on wait times.

    Phantom's used by ISIL for recon, "bombing"

    I just saw that above on my news feed this morning and correct me if I am wrong but the looks like the remains of a phantom. That is how we get more restrictions here.

    Camera and gimbal issues while recording

    Mine did that for the first time today. I wasn't recording video at the time and just flying around in the parking lot at work. I just landed and did a gimbal calibration and several flights later it hasn't done it again. On a side note you could get rid of some of the glare in your video if you...

    Mavic pro 32 mph

    I live out in the country. I can hit top speed, have the drone in line of site and not leave my property. I have never broken 400 feet and won't.

    Is exceeding 400ft altitude as simple as changing max altitude in the app?

    I have flown a Cessna 500 feet over the ground in a rural area. That 400 feet rule is to give separation with aircraft. We have 3 pipelines that run through my property (drank well water here 30 years without any issues *cough standing rock cry babies*) and I have seen helicopters and cessnas...

    Flying near Blue Ridge Parkway and got warnings.

    Taking off today inside a class D airspace I received a prompt I had to agree that I had permission and also another one saying I am liable.
