Thank you Sir! I appreciate you taking the time to share your knowledge with me. Time will tell if anyone local will get on board with this. It's all great during discussion but no so easy when it comes time to write the check.

And you would be wrong. It is legal in the USA for a 107 pilot to fly 400' above the highest point of any given structure.

I wouldn't mind throwing $1k of my own money at it and there may be more funds available through local departments and the EMA. The whole idea is to have observers watching the video in real time while searching instead of going back and watching recorded video. As you know every search to...

I'll be following this thread. When you guys figure out how to display what the drone is seeing in real time on a large screen TV inside incident command at a reasonable price while I'm outside at some distance flying it I want to know.

Regardless if the manned aircraft pilot known the laws rules and regulations concerning drones he/she should know the rules governing manned aircraft and if they are following those rules there shouldn't be a problem.

I have asked for a quote for the Evo2Dual 640X512 but haven't heard back yet. What's everyone's opinion on this unit. Will it do any better for search and rescue and law enforcement work than the Mavic2E Dual?

Why does everyone automatically assume that someone attempted to fly from within the park? Y'all must have a guilty conscience. LOL I consider the possibility of a "fly away". With a 30min flight time on a new hot battery and the fact that it can fly 45mph it could have launched from over 20...

Everyone has their own standards they use, some more lax and some more stringent. For me and mine I would only charge the batteries in question when I could be present 100% of the time and I would only use them for ground work. The possibility of them swelling with heat in flight and causing a...

You learn something new every day! If you are really interested and want to see it done I can make a video and post it when I have time.

Not sure what your point is. I first attempted to calibrate the IMU using a laptop several times. Then I used my PC and it seemed to have worked fine. I would assume that anyone would know that what ever device you choose to use to calibrate the IMU would have to have the app on it.

I am in no way assuming that your issue was/is like mine was. I am only replying to shed light on the situation I had in the hopes that it may help someone else. My M2P started giving problems indicating that I needed to re-calibrate the IMU and I tried it several times on my laptop. The next...

Pay Dirt! Success at last! I had to go to the FB page and click on "live" and when the page comes up there is a couple places near the bottom that contain some information. One is "sever URL" and the other is "persistent stream key" You have to copy both of these and put the information into...

My concern with the swelling batteries is that if they swell enough they may dislodge themselves from the latches allowing a disconnect and a crashed drone. Especially if that particular battery happened to be like the one that I had replaced by DJI that didn't latch properly. As mentioned...

Ok, let me straighten out my lies. #1 Battery has 35 charges and a mfg date of 2018.10 #2 Battery has 47 charges and a mfg date of 2018.7 #3 Battery has 40 charges and a mfg date of 2018.9 #4 Battery has 25 charges and a mfg date of 2018.11 #5 Battery has 21 charges and a mfg date of 2018.11...

I will do that later today when I am at my shop where I keep my drone equipment.
