This is the answer I was looking for. Of course we can take a note pad and write down lat/long...gimbal angle, altitude, print a picture and hold it next to your tablet... but this isn't 2014 anymore. This should be automated. Great answer, thank you!. I am tasked with taking 8 directions of the...

For me it has been the V2. I remember them all well. 1st it hit an empty sidewalk from 120' up, 2nd bounced off a roof and barely missed a man cleaning his high-dollar sports car, 3rd it hit a random house roof from 200' and bounced to the front yard, and 4th just in August, it again hit a...

So ya'll won't belive this but. IT HAPPENED AGAIN. That's right. my FOURTH time that the v 2.0 fell out of the sky at no fault of my own. This time I was beyond the 12 month mark so I had to pay for the repairs myself. It happened on 8.22 of 2021.

For recreational flyers you are correct. But For part 107 pilots you certainly DO have to register each drone individually.

How many cycles on the battery?

I first learned about this about 18 months ago when I was approached by The Humane Society. They were highly confident that there was an illegal puppy mill as well as dog fighting training grounds at a set of properties outside of Dallas. I was very excited to get the business and for good...

In the past 12 months drones have become much safer with stronger connections and better obstacle avoidance. 2020 DJI drones will have ADSB-in, thousands and thousands more drone pilots have been formally educated as part 107 Pilots, and existing Pilots have yet another year of experience under...

Do these rules apply to a mavic mini? I am a part 107 phantom 4 Pro pilot, but contemplating a mavic mini so I could still fly in the ambiguous territory to try to avoid the headache. Of course I respect helipad and airports, but confiscating drone because of photographing things that the...

Lol I have not, but do you happen to have a link or something with the specific procedure.? Just looking at that one picture leaves a lot of variables. I certainly would love to give it a try, long exposure night shots are something I've been wanting to do for quite some time and with the yaw...

I have had 3 p4p version 2.0 aircraft. All with the same RC. You may have seen previous threads where my bird fell out of the sky for no reason and a few months later did it again. Then I crashed into a power line so actually I'm on my fourth! Anyway, all four have had the dreaded yaw drift. No...

Wow didn't expect that ending lol. His posts are way too long so if he was talking about superiority based on skin color I must have missed it.

To be fully honest, this is your only post that I read fully. The rest were so long that I scrolled straight past. If you would like to engage in conversation and learn from people, brevity will likely result in higher engagement.

Same. My clients are ALWAYS asking me to do risky shtuff! Shadows cast by a low sun add another dimension of information that can be gleaned from an aerial photo. I do a lot of information gathering for commercial roofing, and shadows can indicate relative height of elevation changes between...

ld dead thread, but I see these pics and had to add mine... I am from dallas and randomly have some night pics from Portland showing the same skyline...

I posted earlier expressing my similar opinion about big business. But it is likely lost in the sea of comments. Obviously this is a heated debate/ topic, there are 9 or 10 pages of comments so far! Good stuff!
