    here’s something you don’t see every day

    That is funny! Great flying! I haven’t heard Boxcar Willie since I was a kid (many years ago)! Do you have a picture of your rig? It was something else!

    “No shade, no shine, no butterflies, no bees, no fruits, no flowers, no leaves, no birds – November!” Thomas Hood

    I was on my iPhone at the time. I was able to watch it on my desktop. Very beautiful footage! The opera music was definitely was a great choice!

    Nice sun set

    Beautiful photo! Could it be Mars or Jupiter? Where I live, they both can appear very bright at twilight. The air is obviously very clear. The reflection off of the water like that, for as high as it is, means that it is probably beyond the earth’s atmosphere.

    FAA Remote I.D.

    Good point, up until now I thought that reporting from the controller should be sufficient, but in the eyes of the FAA, if the controller loses contact with the AC and/or there is a flyaway, then the AC location is unknown. I’m not opposed to letting the FAA and other UAS, GA & Commercial...

    Catching a Phantom 4?

    I figured there wasn’t a safe way for one person to do it, but figured that I would ask in case somebody has some come up with something. I have a hard bed cover on my truck and I was using that to take off and land with in dusty areas. It worked great, but I was getting obstacle avoidance...

    Catching a Phantom 4?

    I’ve wondered about this myself since I land and take off a lot in dirt, due to the locations where I fly. I’ll definitely give this a try as even with a landing pad it blows a lot of dust. I do have a follow-up question: how about holding it when starting the motors and taking off? It does...

    Phantom Human Drone

    I know he’s in Europe somewhere, (therefore not FAA’s territory), but I’d hate to find out what the FAA would say about a flying bathtub after flying it! [emoji51]

    Flight Monitoring App

    I am wondering what app do you like to use to monitor air traffic location? I have downloaded FlightRadar24 (which is my favorite so far), Flight Live & Planes Live (which is think is more used for traveling). I would like to subscribe to one to get better data, I’m just trying to figure out...

    DJI Enterprise Shield Basic Renewal Question

    DJI Enterprise Shield Basic Renewal Question

    Seems like it to me to, but a replacement is around $6,000. (Yes, apparently the P4 RTK really is that much more expensive.) No, I have not yet crashed. But now that I’ve said that... Yeah, I’m thinking I would probably use my drone insurance, but it may be a good way to not have to, if only...

    DJI Enterprise Shield Basic Renewal Question

    Has anyone had experience with using the Enterprise Shield Basic, such as turnaround time and ease or hassle of obtaining a replacement? We are considering renewing ours, but at $554 for our P4 RTK plus $299 for the first replacement, I'm wondering if it is worth the time and hassle versus just...

    FAA Remote I.D.

    I pretty sure the FAA just sent out a FISA request on me for just looking them up :tearsofjoy:

    P4 RTK is Connecting to Controller but not Registering in App

    Update! Performing a reset as mentioned in the DJI Forum link above did the trick. I first exported my plans and performed a backup to SD card then, out of abundance of precaution, connected it to my desktop in USB File sharing mode and copied the entire DJI directory to the card after putting...

    P4 RTK is Connecting to Controller but not Registering in App

    Thank you @ArnoldLeVine! That link has the answer I was looking for all yesterday evening. Although I was using different search keywords, I just kept finding the same DJI forum threads (which I myself contributed to several months ago), but none that were helpful to my situation. Great...
