I think airports, or at least KPIT, still aren't sure themselves what the procedures are for drones. When I called this morning before I posted here, I got forwarded to three different people. The last person said, "I think you need a waiver." Which, is wrong, I need an authorization. That's...

Thanks. One more question. Once an FAA airspace authorization is given, do I still need to tell the tower? I get the impression that towers, especially at larger airports, don't want to be bothered with sUAS pilots.

Ahh, that makes sense. So you still need permission in those grids, but are likely to get approved if your request is at or below those heights.

I hold an FAA Part 107 certification, but probably like many who also went through this training, I'm still a bit confused about the complexity of Class B airspaces. Here's an example... I was asked to get a few aerial establishing shots of facility near Pittsburgh. Looking at the charts for...

Just updated my iOS to 2.8.3 and then my P4 to the latest firmware. The firmware install went without a hitch, and mine did not "freeze" at 99%. Took about 20 minutes. I did two quick flights outside my house, and from what I saw, it's about 95% better than what it was with 2.8.2. I only saw...

What's the process for updating more than one battery with this FW update? I assume on the first pass the P4 will also update the battery's FW that's installed, but what about spares? Will the P4 just update those as they are inserted, or do you have to do something special on the app to...

According to the DJI Support page on Facebook, they are releasing an iOS update to address this issue "soon."

I just updated to 2.8.1 on my Samsung Galaxy Tab (sm-t230nu) running Android version 4.4.2 and it seems to have helped the transmission dropouts people are reporting. I use both an iPad mini 2 (all updated to latest software) and this Samsung tablet as a backup, and both were experiencing...

Just had one of my batteries flash just the 4th light green quickly while on the charger. I unpluged it and pushed the "test" button and the 4th light just flashed green again. I put it back on the charger and it seems to be charging normally now. What does it mean when only the 4th light...

Thanks. So the only way to adjust the exposure is to work with the shutter speed and perhaps ISO?

Is it possible to adjust the camera's f-stop/aperture or is it fixed at 2.8?
