Thank you

I would have had launch between the tracks leading up to the trestle. So, even if there is interference would that affect my ability to control the drone via line of sight?

I'm pretty sure Tammie's hobbies only has small play drones. Best Buy is your best bet.

I had the opportunity to take aerial images of an old railroad trestle in the woods. The problem was that because of the metal railroad tracks, and because of a deep forest on either side, there was no way to avoid the magnetic interference. I chose not to fly. The questions is, if I had chosen...

In all the discussions on the issue the one area that seems to have been overlooked both by the FAA and users is the lack of cell service in vast areas of the west and Alaska. The proposed rule would have a profound impact on search and rescue drones, firefighting, agriculture, ranching...

While I have a steep learning curve I do understand how to set up way points as a pre-planned flight. However, what I want to do is something different. An example, I fly to a spot on a scouting mission for a still shoot. The position is perfect but the light is wrong and I have to come back...

I originally tried State Farm but I was told by a local agent that they don't offer drone insurance. If you can get it elsewhere (other than in Oregon) it must be state by state. The Professional Photographers of America offers property damage/loss insurance if you are a member. Have be Part...

Thanks for all the info. I've attached two test shots, for those of you who are photographers. I would appreciate feedback on the one that shows a river and trees. If you look at the very upper left the trees are either out of focus - but why would they be out of focus at a greater distance...

I've posted before on various topics as I learn the ins and outs of the Mavic. I'm a landscape and nature photographer and my Mavic is mainly for stills. My current question is about the infinity setting in manual. While it's a 35mm lens it would more than likely not be the same as my DSLR...

That's what I thought. However, someone told me that if I uploaded it to the forum that someone could read it. Oh well? Any idea what would cause a "system failure" message and no motor engagement? The next day it ran fine, and it has run fine since, though I get nervous without knowing.

A couple of weeks ago I had a situation where the Mavic 2 Pro wouldn't launch and was getting "system failure" messages. The motors would not engage. I retrieved the dat file from it, not flight logs, and saved it which was huge - over a gig. I tried again and it produced another file that was...

Having traveled in Italy several times (mainly Tuscany), and being a landscape/nature photographer, be aware that almost all property in Italy is private. It's hard getting the correct angles for landscape photography without getting the owners permission to step-on or fly a drone on their...

Didn't seem to come through. will try again.

Thanks. I've attached the file. Huge. Hope it makes it.

Thanks. Apparently I'll never know what happened. I spoke to both DJI and an authorized repair center and no one takes and reads just the logs - they want to whole drone. I took it outside this morning and it worked like a charm. Don't know if it got "confused" trying to acquire GPS signals or...
