    Changes Are Coming to the Part 107 Test

    I have had some success because I have had an established pro commercial photography business for almost 40 years. Yeah, I'm old. Starting from scratch without a thorough knowledge of photography and/or video can obviously be much more difficult.

    Changes Are Coming to the Part 107 Test

    I agree with Ruckert. My 107 license has just expired, and I'm not convinced that my circumstances justify all of the effort and cost to retake another exam. My Phantom paid for itself a couple of times over, and I have a new Mavic Pro replacing it, so I still look forward to some flying...

    Nice day to go flying, just cant go anywhere

    A similar no-travel directive was just put in place here in Michigan, but the State Police say they have no practical way to enforce it. I was amazed at the strictness there in Washington. Yikes. Just because I have the time, I downloaded your photo, tweaked it in Photoshop, and will attach here...

    Hit by a bus!

    Not worried. I am a working photojournalist, at a mayor's press conference on this trip.

    Hit by a bus!

    It's hard to explain. I was shooting above an entrance to an underpass, so the drone was well above the roadway, and I was at the higher street level. When I began returning to base without changing altitude, the bus came around the corner from behind me, turned into my flight path.

    Hit by a bus!

    I put everything up for sale on Facebook Marketplace and am taking offers until April 15, top offer takes all. I'm very surprised at how much interest I received on day one. If you are serious, my top offer today is 300. The drone itself still starts up, so the electronics are good, but the...

    Hit by a bus!

    I'm not sure what part it is you need. I'll attach some photos of the gimbal, but it's not looking good. Camera has a crack in it too, now that I'm looking closely.

    Hit by a bus!

    I have a couple of buyers who want my entire assortment of accessories, including the busted Phantom. My gimbal was definitely broken, camera itself seems OK. Thanks, I'm good.

    Hit by a bus!

    Yeah, the bus came from a point out of my view as I was coming in low, and smacked it good. Still turns on, though. Tough old bird. Your sympathies are appreciated.

    Frequencies used by Phantoms

    I have been flying for over two years and have never NOT been warned about the 2.4 cellphone frequency interfering. I ignore it, never had a real problem keeping in control.

    S D card

    I also prefer somewhat smaller cards. If one goes bad, you have less chance of losing all. 64 GB is my max for that reason alone.

    Mavic 2 pro Home Lock

    Both forums have been very helpful to me. Just joined the Mavic version after crashing my Phantom.
