    Has anyone blown up a drone picture? If so how big?

    Where do you order such large prints, especially on canvas?

    Late night over the city

    Great photos are often available to take in a metro area by simply and safely just going up briefly from one spot and taking photos in a 360 degree turn. When done, just simply land. No risk of coming down in some horrible place other than right where you are.

    DJI Mavic Mini Released!

    Oh, that's too young an age for a drone like that. They would absolutely have a blast with one like this. It even has obstacle avoidance. You can fly it inside with just putting your hand or bady in its path to change directions. I've suggested them to some adults who even like them. RC...

    New Skydio 2 is out

    The drone seems to have super good obstacle avoidance, 360 degrees I read. But.... if you don't want to do active track or follow me what would you use it for? Just wondering how it is to fly around with its controller only, not follow anything. I'm sure there will be reviews for that soon.

    Hello everyone, i'm a newbie out of Houston, TX. I'm looking forward to learning to use my P3s.

    You have a fine drone, that PS3. Just fly it carefully and it'll provide some great fun and quality photos/video. It's not for professionals but fine for the average user at a reasonable cost.

    Battery is a little puffy.

    Where would one "get rid of" a battery? Just in regular garbage?

    I have found no need to update from my Phantom 3 Advanced or Pro

    I have always taken still photos with my drones. I have never found video to be satisfying. I don't find anyone who enters my house with the patience to sit and watch a video but they will admire and look at still photos. So, for that reason, I have never gotten into the big discussions about...

    Flight Distance?

    As with all things wireless and electronic, there are many other variables that can affect performance, both natural, man-caused and even from outer space, such as sun spots. Even then, these drones are marvels at what they can do. Must imagine what some artificial intelligence added will...

    Just wondering

    You Brits are always more adept at things military, processions, formal and all protocol. Just look at your processions, precise, exactly timed and on time.

    The Biggest Impact Drones SHOULD Have on Humans?

    What no one here has mentioned yet about drones in the future is that they will have artificial intelligence, both on board AND in their controllers. This will allow unimaginable performance like flying within almost inches of each other avoiding collisions, precision routes, even large drones...

    Just got a P3S - still relevant? I think so!

    I have a Mavic Pro Platinum, Spark and Tello. But I still miss my Phantom 3 Standard. It was, as you say, smooth, took great photos on AUTO mode and was so easy to fly. It will always be a favorite of mine. If I still had it I would fly it often.

    crashed after RTH , warranty

    I always wonder about BVLOS. Once my Mavic or Spark is airborn and high I really can't see it. I can hear it better than see it. If drones are made to fly miles away then why don't they limit that? I fly to other pastures to check cattle, hay, troughs or gates. I could not possible see the...

    Flying over fields

    Here in Texas there have been some precautions about drones flying over weekend homes to see if anyone is there before trekking in to burglarize them. Unfortunately, just as with guns or other things, there will always be those who use good things to perform bad behavior.

    Toy Drone ?

    I have a Mavic, Spark and Tello. For learning the Tello seems to me to have the most similar controls for learning. On its own it is a fine drone with the limits being it can't fly in wind or even a brisk breeze. Otherwise it is a pleasure, easy to launch and takes nice photos. Video is...

    Will we get screwed by Trade War?

    The whole tariff brawl started because of the imbalance. It really is unfair for other countries to have the upper hand and make more money on products than our own American companies. Yes, no tariffs at all would be the best. But you will continue to see countries create tariffs to give...
