Very nice thank you. The rock formations at Watson Lake reminds me of Sylvan Lake in Custer State Park, SD

I will be traveling to Prescott and would like to do some drone photography & video there. Can you recommend someplace to get some shots that wouldn't be in one of the many Wilderness areas surrounding Prescott. Thanks

What would you charge for retrieval? Brandon charged $500.

Franklin, TN

I will be visiting Franklin for a week near the end of February and bringing my M2Z. Can any locals give me any tips on points of interest for drone photography. Thanks

Words to live by when dealing with the FAA. Never do anything you can't explain in a hearing.

Please excuse me but I'm a little confused. I just contacted DJI and they said the BT-300 was not compatible with my smart controller and Mavic 2 zoom. I would love a clarification on this because I'm reading or misreading a lot of contradictory info on this.

Ahh yes the survival instinct. Something that is missing from the drone pilots experience even though they may be putting others at risk.

Like I said the first time was a fail for me and from reading the forum a lot of other people had problems too.

I expected 1000 nits to be brighter than it is because I’m always looking for shade to stand in. I’ll need to set aside another half a day to attempt the apk & third party app install as last time it was a fail. I’ve never worked with android before so I’m spoilt by the fact that I usually...

Just because it might be as visible as a bird doesn’t mean an airplane will have ample time to avoid it. A plane traveling at 150 mph/220 feet per second will have less than 3 seconds to react IF the bird/drone is spotted at 200 yards. It’s been my experience that you usually see the bird or...

You’re exactly right. I’ve been disappointed to find the drone community is the least grown up and mature I’ve ever seen. In most hobbys, self-policing works. But not here it seems. The result will be more and more restrictive regulations.

Sounds like a good idea to me.

The FOV of FPV is much inferior to that of a human in the cockpit.

An aircraft climbs with a nose up pitch attitude which makes it impossible for the pilot to see over the nose creating a blind area straight in front of them and therefore the ability to see other aircraft in their forward sector. Mid air collisions happen to vigilant pilots like this all the...
