Taking off and landing within a national park or a state park might be generally restricted/prohibited.... but where there is a tidal area one could land in and out of high/low water area(at low tide) which are waters of the US/State but not park property. fwiw

Went with the glyphs versus a ziess VR which I returned. I am pretty sure that a bluetooth earpiece device can give you dji go audible messages from the iphone(or android). Have used the FPVs to precision land on a 2' by 2' 3000 ft out. Even with strobe lights on the P4 3000 ft + is way...

As for flying around city hall in Philly, it is a court system,perhaps with a jail and next door is the criminal court building with a jail and down at 6th and arch is a federal prison. There are restrictions to flying near prison structures, so that is something you have to be aware of.

There is an issue about the regulatory authority to regulate the dji et al. drones used for hobby. It seems a court has ruled against the FAA for overeach. Complete Guide to Taylor v. FAA (Drone Registration Lawsuit) - Drone Law Attorney Services - Rupprecht Law, PA. Perhaps this is being...

I was in Exuma in the first half of April, left my p4 there as I am returning the last two weeks of May for eight days of bonefishing and another 5 days to recover. Hoping to scout the school from the drone view. Theory and practice may not be the same on that. There should be no residual bad...

Tbird: in dropping a lure into the water hopefully in the middle of a school of fish, you would want the lure to drag around the water to create animation to get a strike. Depending on the fish that strike could be hard and fast ( think four foot baracuda) You don't want to have the line pinned...

Can a RTH setting be changed to follow the remote controller rather than the point of takeoff? This would apply mostly to those launching from a boat.

That is worth pursuing. thanks for the imput

While that device will work, there seems a possibility that if the device fails to open and you have a hook up it will pull the drone down into the fight. A rigging with a slip knot would avoid this and keeps it simple. The tuna video drone utube video shows the drone moving the lure in the...

Saw a video recently about rigging a fishing line on a ph4 and carrying the lure offshore from the beach to drop it in a school of tuna. Can anyone explain how to rig the line to the drone so it breaks away cleanly during a hook up? TomH

Does coverage only apply to the state you live in? As many drone users takes their drones to foreign lands. Mine is currently in St. Martin.

John08 Just got my aviation permit for my trip to exuma in April thru the end of May. Based on your experience with customs,I ad a local developer reach out to find out the proper process. In they gave me a name and phone at the ministry of finance to contact foods approval which indicates that...

Tried both the Zeiss vr and the glyphs, sent the vr back as the quality of the image and the apps data display for the glyphs are excellent. Using fpv technology to land ph4 3000 + ft away and do it precisely. That maneuver requires a clear view. Sent from my iPad using PhantomPilots

Spotting fish....intend to use a ph4 to find bonefish schools in the Bahamas ... not to drop a line on them but to direct the guide which way to pole. Sent from my iPad using PhantomPilots
