    Mini 4 Pro Kerkyra - Corfu

    I think I had up to 120 meters. This is what the HASP said:: TO Corfu Control Tower The “Corfu Old Fortress” activity is not approved. A written consent from the management of the Correctional Facility involved is required. For the rest of requests, I am forwarding you a request for...

    Mini 4 Pro Kerkyra - Corfu

    They rejected my submission for the area around the Old Fortress. They said I would need written permission from the "Correctional Facility." Not sure what that is referring to, maybe there's a prison around there somewhere. I looked at taking off from right across the southwestern tip of...

    Air 2s Greek islands with Air 2s

    Interesting, that circle covers so much more footprint. I just figured it was best to minimize land areas where there could be people since they tightened up the rules about flying over people from the start of 2024. But also thought of staying close to that peninsula, figuring that planes...

    Air 2s Greek islands with Air 2s

    I requested a flight around the Old Fortress and they told me it's rejected and requires written permission from the "Correctional Facility." I'm not sure if they're referring to something on the Old Fortress premises. I made a polygon taking off from just across the southern part of the moat...

    Air 2 Athens Tower

    Yes I’ve been using that map. As I understand it, if you want to fly in the areas which appear in yellow, you have to request permission. Most of Athens is yellow. In fact several overlapping yellow zones. Wanted to know if anyone actually got approval for areas within Athens.

    Does the HCAA approve drone flights in Athens?

    PanoVolo 1.9.0 released

    Lightroom struggles with 360 panos so I have a bunch of folders of shots I need to try to stitch again.

    HOW TO: Avoid seagulls with your drone.

    This YouTuber lists several strategies. Has anyone tried these products, red reflective tape, red propellers and the strobe light, which is kind of pricey at $60.

    DJI issues urgent warning: 6 months until possible ban

    They need to open up their wallet probably, hire an expensive lobbying firm and also make donations.

    360 panos automatically shoot in JPEG?

    I use Lightroom. It sometimes fails to stitch together 360 panos so I save the individual shots, thinking I could get something like PTGui and try re-stitching some day. So far I haven't though, I have so much media to post-process and edit, a huge backlog. I've uploaded a couple of 360 panos...

    Mini 4 Pro Kerkyra - Corfu

    Hi, I'm going to visit Greece, including Corfu, in a couple of weeks. When you say Cape Drastis is a free area, you mean that in the Drone Aware GR map, it's not shaded in yellow, so there aren't any restrictions? You didn't request permission for these clear areas on their drone map, only for...

    Air 2s Greek islands with Air 2s

    I don't know if the OP is still around but I'm actually going to Greece in two weeks. So I've been looking at places to fly, including looking at this thread, as well as Google Maps and Drone Aware GR. A couple more questions if you're still here? 1. Did you only request permissions for...

    These are the list of drones approved by the US military. https://www.diu.mil/blue-uas-cleared-list Interesting designs. But if they're going to use drones like ammo, that is a lot of them are FPV kamikaze drones like the way the Ukraine military is using them can they produce these in huge...

    US will unleash 'drone dominance' by fast-tracking production

    We haven't heard any talk of manufacturers setting up factories to build drones in the US, have we? It would take years and tons of capital. Not to mention the money it takes to market a new or rebooted drone brand. People claim that if iPhones were made in the US, they'd cost over $3000...

    360 panos automatically shoot in JPEG?

    Hmm, never heard of Panovolo. Have you tried Lightroom Classic? How would you compare them? Does Panvovolo produce a DNG pano or just JPG?
