I say... let's ban people from the park and allow the drones.

I'm pretty sure it is being operated BVLOS and there is no spotter. Those NASA guys are going to ruin it for everybody!

My addiction spreads wider and thinner. DJI Mini 2 Microlite X7 Tyro119 Mobula 6 HoverStar 2.0 AcroBee BeeBrain Pro Eachine E65H and finally I've got all the parts but only have an Airblade Transformer LR half put together. Each is fun in it's own way. Some are strictly indoor. Some are...

Believe it or not, the FAR/AIM tries to simplify the rules. It is not designed to have a specific rule for every situation that someone can come up with playing "what-if" games. Anyone can see that using AGL is appropriate for drones as it is the same term and usage for manned aircraft -...

I believe you are incorrect. The gps systems on drones do very well locating positions. They are not so good at elevations. I believe that is why you won't find drones providing the information you are wanting. Comparing gps elevations to topographical charts is no simple trick either. I...

You need to keep in mind that recreational flight is an exemption to the 107 rules. Monetary gain isn't even considered. As Big Al already pointed out "You can't recreate for someone else!" Anything you do for someone else is not recreational. The slippery slope is that if you already have a...

My opinion is that in person is better. Showing a sample can't hurt.

I think it's good advise, as noted earlier, that once you get permission and the footage - hit up every sub on the site and the project owner. The architect and the engineer are also possible clients. In my opinion... large slab pours make the best video.

As a General Contractor for many many years... I have some input about photographing my construction site. My construction site is private property. Even if it is a government project, while under construction it is private property. As such, all rules of photographing someone on private...

This discussion has gone beyond interesting straight to ridiculous. The majority of the posts in this thread makes you all seem like a bunch of narrow minded ideologues. I'm relatively new here but I believed most of you to be reasonable adults. I'm totally shocked that someone would come...

If you are looking for a phone to run the Fly app...From DJI's site: https://www.dji.com/dji-fly Android v1.4.8 Requires Android 6.0 or above. Recommended models: Compatible with Samsung Galaxy S21，Samsung Galaxy S20，Samsung Galaxy S10+，Samsung Galaxy S10，Samsung Galaxy S9+，Samsung Galaxy S9...

I definitely could be wrong. I was just going by what I've seen that says a recreational certificate looks like this: And that the Part 107 looks like this:

So you now have 3 drones that can be flown recreationly. And two that can be flown commercially. I don't have my 107, but it is my belief that your recreational certificate just has your name and your registration number. I further believe that the commercial registration has your name, the...

Shouldn't be. Both sets of goggles are just receiving the same radio signal. Seeing as how the screens on each set of goggles are the same, they should get the same quality. You just need to go into audience mode and set the one that the operator is wearing to Transmission mode and the other...
