This is what I use as a bullet-pointed note so that I can actually check things off. The second part seems a little redundant, but I also don’t crash….. The thermal section won’t apply to everyone: I use that for DSAR (Drone Search & Rescue) Preflight checklist Pre-Flight Check weather—...

Good points there, especially concerning ad blockers. But I don't think I am naive enough to say it is unethical to charge money for what costs money to produce: I was more seeing a scenario where he keeps his long-time supporters at one level and simply starts charging a higher level for the...

Hmmmmm…. Month and a half ago….. 🤔 Perhaps they really don’t let me out that often…..

So t’ other day I set up my bird, all excited to fly, and I opened up my UAV Forecast app, and it seemed rather….static. It took me a minute to see the little banners so deftly and subtly placed in the corners of the screen that said…. “Preview”. What the heck!??! You can no longer use it...

Yeah--that was lovely. I am curious: at the 1:50 mark you had that great shot of the sailboat and I am wondering what your exposure settings were--specifically your "exposure": was it on Auto or Manual, since I did not see any sort of correction as you turned into the sun, but likewise I didn't...

While I did not click on any of those posts, I did notice that they were all grouped together, having been posted at about the same time. I just figured it was someone getting out of the business or upgrading a business's fleet of drones, although the "still in box" aspect was a little...wonky...

Thanks for NIB explanation. However that is not the same as “Never OUT of Box:” has it ever been flown? What else is included in the deal? Number of batteries? Type of controler? Chargers/cables?

What is NIB, and why are you selling it? What else is in the package? Definitely interested for SAR, but I am going to need to have some more information.

Couldn't agree more about the simplicity of the job--I was jealous...! 😆 Recently had one about a quarter of a mile from the airport and the building was big and high enough that I had to go up to 100' right near the downwind leg of the pattern--not great for the heart...... There were all...

Interesting video which brought up some thoughts. First of all, I am interested that you actually posted your clients' address in that Google Earth fly-over: did they consent to that? The company that I do work for first of all would never let me even post something like this video in the...

Just out of of...idle curiosity (and not even a soupçon of cynical skepticism)... how much do you think they were clear that you were asking specifically about the Mavic 2 Pro?

Could not agree more. HOWEVER.... Because I am often watching the drone instead of the screen I will often look down just in time to see something disappear from the screen so that all I know was that it was trying to tell me something.... A little less helpful. Does anyone know of a way to...

Filipok, I came across this thread while researching my own similar problem. I see that yours (above) was one of the last postings here: any idea what happened after your next attempt?? I currently seem to be charging to about 92%—still not a HUGE loss, but it is bugging me not to know if this...

This is a fantastic question, and one that I am also trying to find out. My fantasy: not only can you overlay the drone onto SARTopo so the Search Manager can see where you are, but you could also overlay the various team members‘ location on to the relevant DJI App so the pilot could track the...

Thank you, MavicAir2Marc. I think I will definitely be putting this on a big screen any time I can: I need to show folks that this is a good tool to use when the job is right!
