    Rumor of FAA restriction on use of drone photos

    I hear a rumor that, as I understand it, if you fly as a hobbyist and take a photo which you later provide to someone for commercial use, that you are in violation. That is, you need a UAS license and operate as a commercial enterprise to do this.

    You can now fly your DJI drone using the Google airmaps app

    I'd rather have Google involved than Microsoft. They both have our info anyway, so why worry?

    Flight Data

    My manual (v1.6) says flight data gets recorded to the "internal storage of the aircraft". Which would make sense to me. However, I don't find it there. I find it on the (Android) phone within the DJI Go4 app, from the pull-down menu (upper right) "Flight Data".

    Learning to take photos

    I said some pilots have suggested that they get better photos with ND filters. That's all I said. I stand by the statement.

    Learning to take photos

    As noted previously, digital zoom gives you nothing that you can't accomplish in post-processing. The term should be banned!

    Photos taken when SD card removed.

    4wd: A "screen recording" I would think would be recorded to my Photos Gallery. Dragonfly: thanks, I'll check my settings.

    Learning to take photos

    Photos taken when SD card removed.

    I took a few photos (nothing important) with the microSD card removed from the Mavic. I expected that since the photos were normally copied to the phone (albeit in lower resolution), that they would be there even when the SD card was not installed. I was fortunate to learn (when the photos were...

    Mavic vs Hawk

    And did the hawk come out OK, or get nicked by a propeller?

    There are times when the additional flying time can make a difference. Thanks for sharing your photos, and your results.

    Loops at back of Mavic

    That makes sense. But I was wondering if someone had come up with a remote release mechanism.

    Krakow Poland "Rynek" Main Square Drone Video

    I'm not a video pro. Maybe one will weigh in. I might try a bit shorter shutter speed and/or try a different white balance number. Or maybe a ND filter, if you aren't using one. I have seen one of the pros say the AWB does not work well.
