    Wedding video question

    My take is if you take the video for enjoyment and part of that enjoyment includes sharning the video any reasonable person woul consider it recreational. However if your friend thanks you by buying you a beer it becomes comercial. So my advise is look over your shoulder before acepting the...

    FAA Violation - Another Idiot

    This is such a serious hazzard that I bet the FAA will make the efort to identify the the fool and bring down the hamer. From the apparent altitude looks like he was hanging less than 2 miles from the airport approch waiting for a jet to come in.

    Trees blocking my signal

    Another possibility is Groud station pro. It is a free app and since it is a DJI app it should be compatiblewith all p3 drones. You can set waypoints on the tablet. The only cavet is it is an ios app. If the app is infact compatible you could pick up an Ipad mini 3 on ebay
