    3 Old bridge remains over Veselina river

    A bridge to where? No answer is needed. That what I think when I walk in the forest.

    Air 3 A sunny spring day at the Lovell Radio Telescope, Jodrell Bank, UK

    I think they had a report of alien llifeforms.Then someone reported seeing a drone fly by. Lol. I loved your video. I think radio telescopes look so unreal. I am amazed that it wasn't a NFZ. We have a valley of Radio telescopes here in West Virginia, called, Green Banks. A movable one is larger...

    Why doesn't DJI drones have an IP rating?

    That's pretty good for Phoenix. Lol. Last March I had fun flying around Queen Valley. I wasn't the least bit worried about water.

    Why doesn't DJI drones have an IP rating?

    I'm sure each of DJI'S products are a little different. Batteries are the weakest link. The Phantom series are pretty water resistant. That is totally on my experience on flying them. My poor Phantom 3-s got the worst of it after spending 3 days under a water fall. I washed the silt out of it...

    Parking lots

    I feel for you. The greater the crowds, the more you have to fight for space. When I lived in the city, I would go out at daybreak. After the prostitutes and the dealers had a full night. When the daylight came, they were gone and there was such solitude. I aways wore a bandana and tried to...

    Parking lots

    I think it's more common sense than legal. Sure legal matters. You can fly stupid in a public place and get into trouble. I also fly smart in private places with no problem. I do a lot of metal detecting. The same thing applies. Private lots are ran by busy people that don't have the time to be...

    Air 3 Lewis and Harris View - Totscore, Isle of Skye

    I love videos that I can observe and absorb the feel of the landscape. I look at the geology and biology. It is like reading a book, but I'm reading the lay of the land and wonder. Thank you.

    Did you Know this ?

    Yep. My wife grew up in Rome and told me a lot of stuff about Pompeii. Plus she has a lot of things, home videos and pictures from there.

    Mini 2 Český Krumlov, an absolute beauty of a city in the south of the Czech Republic

    I have the same problem. After getting my shots, I realized that I should have focused on certain things. Usually getting in a little closer on a subject.

    Mini 2 Český Krumlov, an absolute beauty of a city in the south of the Czech Republic

    That is beautiful. I would have liked to seen less of the formal gardens and more of that beautiful tower. A close up of that tower would have been nice.

    Air 3 Fly-More Combo - What DJI don't give you anymore...

    That is the practice everywhere. It's deceptive and that's lying. I use to avoid business that did that just as a point of principle. Well, I lost that battle. Welcome to the new age of deception that is the norm. Many people can't see that our society is degenerating. We are the proverbial frog...

    Drone went for a swim

    I used a hair dryer for Is first measures. Then I put mine in a dehydrator for a few days. The battery will always be shot. The electronics is very strong in these drones. I don't know anything about your model, mine was a phantom. It ran fine after that.

    Drone registration international use

    Just fly your drone and have a good time now that you can do it legally. IF, and you know nothing for sure, you sell your footage, nobody is coming after you. If you want to make a business on a continual basis, that is another story. Have fun!
