Perfect idea. Pick a reasonable number for a particular area and issue permits. Issued online with a nominal fee to cover costs. You'll need to have passed your country's minimum accreditation and if you fly without a permit there's a hefty fine. Lots of complaints? Reduce the numbers.

I like the idea of hole by hole videos for golf courses. I'm going out to practice flying near a course this arvo. Might take one or two and edit them and then check to see if local courses would be interested.

I might take off near my car and then walk about to watch the drone. I almost always fly back manually using the map to orientate the drone but sometimes I'll check out the rth feature and it might get back to the car before I do. Cool if you're talking to someone interested in what you are...

You might find that an inexpensive deal on an iphone is about the same price as you'd be paying for your landline. It's crazy, but my internet provider gives me a discount on my internet if I use them for my landline. And the discount is more than the cost of the landline. So I pay a small...

I'm retired and thought there may be a way to make a few bucks with my drone (Mavic Air 2). So I got an ARN (aviation reference number) from CASA and just did their RPA Operator Accreditation test online. Pretty straightforward. Anyone else done the same and any ideas on possible ways of...

Yeah, take it. Before this **** virus hit, my wife and I (retired), rented out the house and did the Big Trip. The States, lots of Europe, including Greece. I had a decent camera and I didn't want to take it as I thought I'd always be worried about it getting stolen from the hire car or hotel...

My problem is that it's a busy part of the coast off Bondi. You can be standing on the clifftop and a fixed wing or a chopper will fly past a couple of hundred metres out and not much higher than eye level.

We have joint accounts. And I'm klutz with money and my wife used to work in finance so she handles everything. Can't hide anything at all. Some time back I rang her up about 6:00pm to say I was working late and I might call into the local for a quick one on the way home. She was doing the...

I tend to agree. I would have done the same as you (except 2km out..?). It must have been tough looking at the battery and thinking 'Darn it, I have to rth'. I just wanted people to be aware that there are rules and fines if you get sprung.

Cool...

I don't want to pour cold water on the post because that was great footage. Balls of steel to send the drone out 2 klicks to get it. Kudos! But everyone should be aware that you can be hit with a fine if you're closer to the whales than 100m. Whale watchers warned. That said, you could have...

I guess that could be the answer. They specifically don't want you to mix up the chargers if you have the different batteries so they make them so you can't.

Bee 52?

My son bought a car charger from DJI for our MA2. The one he got was marked Mavic Air. And the **** thing doesn't fit the battery. It's almost exactly the same connection but the small 45 degree cut-out at one end is mirrored. That is, if it's on the right end longwise it's on the wrong side...

Tried this a couple of days ago. Would not accept a second waypoint. We were camping and I sent the drone up to take a hyperlapse of us putting the tent up. The first attempt at selecting a waypoint and it said 'too low'. Uh? So I took it up a few meteres and tried again. First point accepted...
