I would be interested in you being able to view your Remote Id number that is broadcast to your remote within the remote which is how we are to validate that Remote Id is functioning. Because this is where I believe I am getting the (what I am assuming is) Remote Id error that is preventing my...

what I’ve been able to experience with my M2P as well as my A2 will bind to my Smart Controller but they error out to an unidentified error when I attempted to launch. My assumption (which fits the perspective that you present) is that this is a remote Id error due to the Smart Controller not...

Whatever that means. Unless you are planning on trying to fly over 16,000 feet. Let me know how that goes. All the same, none of this changes the fact that it's a useless hack. When flying up a mountain maintaining 400' agl, you still must maintain VLOS. Hope your spotter's in good shape.

Which is why I listed it as the maximum altitude and not the highest you can fly from take off point. The 500 meter rule applies to above the take off point. Tell me, with regulations requiring folks to kep their drones in VLOS, where, aside from a person having someong follow the drone up...

Soooooo, how do these hacks make the drone better? How many mountains in the US rise abouve 16,404 feet? Did you know even abandoned airports encounter planes landing from time to time? Add to that these hacks cut the owner off from DJI upgrades that may be necessary or have desireable...

The Air2S has a max altitude of about 16,404 feet via factory settings. Just checked and the US has 4 total summets that eclipse that limit and 6 that rise above 16,000 feet and zero in the lower 48 (not to mention many reside in national parks). Seems like someone going up a mountain would...

Have you seen any news on the Smart Controller getting an update to be Remote Id compliant? I keep watching for one but nothing seems to be planned at this point. Curious what would be considered a lowball offer considering that, in the US at least, until DJI decides to supply an update to...

You are not the only one. Being one for following the rules because it's the safe and smart thing to do none of these hacks do anything for a flyer such as myself. Don't want to go flying around in No Fly Zones and I don't care to fly my drone into the stratosphere sooooo, what's the draw...

Dang. Sorry to hear that. So far I've had no issues at all with the firmware update

Except, and you can correct me if I'm wrong here, but regulations dictate that pilots are not to fly around emergency situations. It can interfere with any aerial assistance that may be needed. I'm assuming that OP, being that he is working with the emergency support, has some clearance to...

Sounds like you could use several of these tags then.

Some polarization lenses (circular ones or ones with an anti reflective coating in particular) as well as certain graduated ND filters are known to be helpful in reducing lens flare which is something that can be a problem when you're directing a camera to a large light source. Further, when...

Personally, I like to use them to dumb down the light in sunset stills (often times adjusting the aperture alone is not enough), any other brighter subject can make ND filters handy for cutting down brightness, long exposures over (like over shorelines and other water features) make ND filters...

Using an ND filter from 300 feet is meaningless for video maybe. For stills there is plenty of value in having an ND filter at 300 feet.

Wonder if that might be what happened to your drone. It jumped the fence and maybe got shot? This isn't an endorsement of such activity, just saying it out loud because I know I'm not the only one thinking it.
