I read this on NPR just now and my immediate thought was what you are saying - if my house burned down (or if someone were injured) because someone's amateur drone flight caused a delay in some aspect of the emergency operations I would want that person held liable for any and all damages that...

Got much closer today flew at 80 feet with the HQ mode on and added a touch of digital zoom and slowed it down just a bit

Mavic pro 2

Managed to film some dolphins off the coast of Charleston, SC. I could not see them on my phone screen in the bright light of the beach but now I know how far back they follow the fishing boats for next time.

I am working on smooth for sure. I noticed that in one of my panning shots it suddenly got slower then faster and I remembered that's when a bug landed on my arm had to shoo it away.

I only had a couple of days to fly and even then I only flew half a battery each day but I managed to get some video that I am happy with so far.

Note 9 only for 6 months, have not had any issues so drone on :)

I am still overly conscious about my drone noise and my presence in places etc. I had some nice moo cards made with my youtube channel on them so that I can give out a card to someone walking by who expresses interest so I can share the videos with them hoping to make them a positive part of my...

I was considering adding an air to my collection of just one Mavic Pro 2. Then I realized how much the extra batteries and all would cost so I thought about buying a zoom to go with my pro II since I could just buy the unit and would already have all the batteries. I thought it might make me...

Been flying for a few months now and my arms are still more tired than they should be after holding the remote for an hour or so because of the unavoidable tension. I have refresh but often fly over a river that would wash the bird away so I am resigned to the price tag of a replacement should...

I understand how you are feeling, a major breakthrough for me was the realization that a crash from 50 feet is probably the same as a crash from 400. Once I realized like the poster above that max altitude (within guidelines) is very safe in terms of trees etc. I felt much more comfortable. I...

I have been lucky so far and only flying for a few months. I have only encountered a few people or groups and ironically 2 of the 3 I knew from work (elementary school teacher) and the other one was an older gentleman who was walking his dog in the ruins of the abandoned seminary that I have...
