    Drone footage from recent disaster areas seems to break rules

    As one who works closely with wildland firefighters, I feel I need to reiterate that flying around an active fire is of no use to anyone. And if you think you’re getting footage that helps the effort or victims, you’re not.

    Crystal Sky and Mavic Air

    Thanks, guys! I was wondering about the DJI chat info. Dude told me you can’t do it then sent another message saying it will work but might have problems. Hey, AeroMirage, got a link to where I can buy that mount?

    Flying the Big Island

    I am off to the Big Island in Hawaii in a few weeks and wondering if anyone has some special tips of good and safe spots to fly. (I’m not inclined to mess with Kilauea right now but open to suggestions there if people have any that are safe and legal.)

    Crystal Sky and Mavic Air

    I am trying to get to the bottom of whether I can use the 5.5” CS with a Mavic Air. Leo at DJI’s on-line chat system says it can be used but not recommended because they’re still working out some issues. Has anyone tried this combo and found a problem?

    Help bringing a vision to reality?

    I think you’re right about that, Jim. So Lichti will let you preset gimbal movements as well as yaw and ascent? I can set waypoints on my Plus but I think that’s only for a path of travel. Might be worth pairing it with a regular controller so I can use Lichti on an iphone.

    Obsidian or white?

    And to really trick it out, I suggest getting those flat gray blades with the yellow stripes. Looks a whole lot better than the shiny OEM blades.

    Help bringing a vision to reality?

    Hello, everyone. I have a vision for a video and am looking for some suggestions for how to pull it off. The general idea is to climb within a fairly limited space in a eucalyptus stand, hopefully when sidelight is coming through light morning fog. I'm flying a P4P Plus (the one with the...

    Find my Drone for P4P+

    Thanks, msinger. Let me make sure I understand. So with the P4P+, I have to connect the controller to a computer then view the log in DJI Go in order to find the exact location where I lost it? There’s no way to get the coordinates just off of the controller screen?

    a danger when landing in RTH

    Thanks for the posts. I found the same thing as the OP and had been wondering if others were disabling RTH when the craft gets close. That’s what I’ve been doing. And thanks for the tip about not doing that on low battery. Makes sense to me.

    Obsidian or white?

    Another vote for obsidian here. It not only looks cooler (c’mon, let’s be honest — it matters) but I think it’s easier to see in clear skies.

    Find my Drone for P4P+

    Hey, folks. I really did try to search the forum before asking what may be an obvious question. If I missed a thread, forgive me. Here's the question: Is there a "Find my Drone" feature for the P4P Plus and, if so, where would one find it? I have seen in other threads that the feature exists for...

    Cedar Hill State Park, Texas no-fly zone

    Or a semi-automatic gun! Anyway, I did find a Texas Park Department memorandum on the web. So it’s out there. Will try to locate it and post. Near as I can tell it was intended to apply to all TX State Parks but also seems to have left a bit of discretion to the local park managers. And it...
