    Welp, this sucks

    I live in West Palm Beach and when POTUS comes to town, we get the 30 mile TFR. His first two years in office, it seemed like he was here more than D.C.

    Palm Beach County

    The north side of the Boynton inlet is one of my favorite launch points. From there you can cruise the inlet and around the island on the west side. There’s also a small park just north of the Boynton bridge that goes over the inlet. It’s got a boardwalk that goes right out to the water for...

    Hi Br Hi Brian, try using the AirMap app. The LAANC system should allow you to request and receive authorization up to 400 ft to fly in Okeeheelee.

    Flying in a park

    I completely agree about being the good citizen. I’d rather be disappointed today and find somewhere else to fly tomorrow than to be the jerk that makes us all look bad. That being said I guess I’m doing something right, since most (if not all!) of my interactions with other people while...

    Flying in a park

    I’ve run into similar situations that seem unfair. I recently searched a website for Bill Baggs state park on Key Biscayne ( outside of Biscayne Bay NP) and saw no drone restrictions, drove 70 miles one way and was greeted with “ No Drone” signs. I had intended to video and photo the Cape...

    What’s up with all the drone haters???

    Blowing Rocks is indeed on Jupiter Island, Florida (should have listed that in my earlier comment!) and there is a real probability of nesting birds. My hope had been an offshore flight to photograph and video the rocks and waves from the ocean perspective. North and South of the preserve are...

    What’s up with all the drone haters???

    I get a little frustrated by having very public places restrict drones. There is an area near me called Blowing Rocks where the beach has limestone formations. At high tide the waves sometimes hit with enough force to shoot water through holes and into the air, hence the name. I would love to...

    Why In The World Did You Get A Drone?

    Palm Beach County, Florida, USA Flying for four months No 107 yet Mavic2P first drone! A friend got me interested since I’ve loved photography for years. This is a great new way to explore. Now I’m hooked even just flying for fun. I’m still a bit nervous, having sunk $$$ into my first bird but...

    Best 64gb SD card?

    I’ve been an amateur photog for many years and always had good luck with SanDisk extreme. The read/write speed makes a difference and I’ve only ever had failures in my dash cam which is probably due to the heat. Just my 2 cents worth!
