Yes bird strikes can be very dangerous to large aircraft, just ask Sully Sullenberger.

People don’t own TFRs. They’re put in place by the FAA.

Can it still use it after gps is lost?

Does it work? If so, should I use trace or parallel?

I'm wondering the same thing as well. None of these suggestions really solve the problem. Throwing the remote in a backpack has not worked for me as you have to make sure nothing touches the phone screen and changes a setting, stops recording, etc. Putting the remote on a bracket on your...

Why would you not want to set to allow upward rotation?

I am fairly new and this still happens to me a lot. I am a regular pilot and in a plane when you want to go up you pull back on the stick and when you want to go down you push forward. It is hard to train myself to do the opposite with the left stick of the drone, especially when you're trying...

I do as well and it works flawlessly.

It all depends on what you're willing to carry. Being old with not as good of eyesight as I used to have, I like to get as large of screen as possible. Plus the Max has more zoom if you're planning on doing much photography with it.

This is true, however I like to film myself hiking or mountain biking. I have enough challenge not crashing on my mountain bike without also trying to fly a drone at the same time :) Therefore I find the active tracking to be useful.

Thanks.

I agree 100% about the switching between recording a video and taking a photo, very cumbersome. You have to go into the app, then pull out a menu, then make your selection.

You actually have 2 scenarios and 2 sets of needs. One where you need to carry everything; batteries, charger, cables, etc. For me the included case works just fine for this. However when you're going out for the day (or an overnight hike) and want to travel light, you'd just have the drone...

I've not had any of the previous controllers so I don't know any different. I like the functionality of the controller however, if you're a serious backpacker, a few ounces or cubic inches are a big deal. It would be nice if they had a smaller controller you could purchase when you're really...

@TheDude and @rp6. What do you guys do with the remote when you’re filming yourself on the mountain bike?
