    Cheap custom made search and rescue drone

    I live in Bullhead City Arizona (right at the tip of Nevada) and in June, July and August the daytime temperatures are almost always over 105 during the daytime and frequently over 105 - 110. (BUT IT IS A DRY HEAT o_O ) Flying in those conditions when it is most needed is next to impossible...

    So need some “drone” ideas

    Was it a Restricted Zone (NFZ - No Fly Zone), Authorization Zone, Warning Zone or Enhanced Warning Zone? There are changes being made in the procedures but for now the recreational flier can follow the procedure in the link below. The serial number they want is the AC serial number, not the...

    my micro usb port on upper left rc is broken can i charge the rc with lower normal usb port??

    If it isn't to late, get a magnetic tip USB cable, put the tip in the Micro USB port and leave it there. There is a polarity for the Micro USB. Get a good cable (Anker is suggested) for the bottom RC USB to the display

    DJI Mavic Air Charging port broken

    The plug on the end of the cable is probably somewhere between 3/8" and 5/8" long depending on the manufacturer. when you add another (guessing 1") adapter. Any decent bump will have a lot of leverage on the connections and port. Not something I care to do but it is not my rig. IMHO better to...

    2 solid productive hours with the Decatur Police SWAT team

    For DSAR what are the advantages of each, sounds like each has a spot. I would consider selling my MPP and M2P and getting a M2Exxx. Out here when June, July and August daytime highs will reach 120+ 6 or 7 days and 115+ is common. I would not think Infrared would be too effective. Winter we...

    Lost connection and lost drone.

    Truer words were never spoken. If you remove those losses where the OP had never looked at the User Manual If you remove those losses where the OP has no idea what the controls do or what warning messages mean If you remove those losses where the OP had no idea the wind would be stronger higher...

    Getting weak signal on controller

    Carrying Case for Mavic 2 Pro

    A 2 or 4 wheel "carry on" get foam and make your own compartments. Probably end up getting a LOT more in there or at least everything you have for the AC. Only problem is if you need to go up a hillside or hike off road. You know how much you need to bring and what conditions. Handle the worst...

    I’m not sure this is the best place to ask this question, but it makes sense to me.

    Don't forget to put some way to contact you should the worst case happen. Tends to ward off evil spirits (like taking an umbrella because it "might" rain)

    Secrets to Flying When Phone Disconnects

    Before you fly, make the determination on what will your AC do if it looses connection with the RC(not the display). Hover, RTH or land and also think of the RTH height. Handle the worst case and the rest will take care of itself. Too many people loose the display and think that disconnects the...
