    Need help finding a cheap tablet to use with mini 2

    When you decide what you want, check out used and refurbs on Amazon. I found a great deal on an ipad mini. Brand new , the package had been opened is all. Happy flying!

    “CAN’T OPERATE UAS ON ST AUGUSTINE BEACH FLORIDA” = DEBUNKED

    Interesting. I live in St Augustine Beach and fly at the beach often. I have had officers drive by on patrol and they're always friendly and wave as I'm holding my controller. Never once have they had an issue with me flying there. I try to be smart and only fly when it's not crowded and avoid...

    Bigger monitor

    My phone is the Galaxy S10e which is a bit of a small screen. In a drawer I had an old tablet I hadn't used in a while, a Galaxy Tab S2 which is several years old. It is on the "unsupported" list on the DJI site. I decided to give it a go anyway. I uninstalled all but the most needed apps...

    I bought mine less than 2 months ago and share your frustration. What I have found that really takes the little drone to a new level is Dronelink. Maximize what you have and happy flying!

    Have you registered your MM with the FAA?

    Registered for three reasons. 1. I fly with a strobe so I can keep visual track of the little thing. 2. I plan to apply for clearance to fly in Class D airspace. 3. The numbers just look cool. Makes me feel like a real pilot!

    New LAANC locations

    Thank you for posting! The airport just north of here (St Augustine, FL) is part of this expansion. A very big deal. Just made my day.

    Florida pilot checking in

    Greetings from St Augustine! Got my first drone last week and hit a tree on the second time out. Should have my replacement in a couple days. Not discouraged at all. Welcome!

    Greetings from St Augustine Florida! Just got my Mavic Mini earlier today. I've decided to enroll in drone flying 101 from pilotinstitute .com to get my bearings. I'm stoked! Looking forward to learning from and sharing with everyone here.
