    Thoughts and Prayers for PhillyDroneLife........

    One of the very few things you've said that makes sense. People should read the ENTIRE thread before posting something that has been said in almost identical words about a dozen times before. That's not logic. May just be one of the worst analogies I have ever heard. Media do and print what...

    Thoughts and Prayers for PhillyDroneLife........

    The fines were very severe, but in this case very well deserved. He had multiple warnings (from friends, other YouTube people, etc) and MANY letters from the FAA that he completely disregarded. He flew in a very reckless manner and flagrantly broke every regulation on the books. Even now he...

    Yes you can. The P4 will use the one good compass.

    when do i have to renew my drone registration

    A few things: If you are a recreational RPIC then you do not actually register your drones at all. You only register yourself and then put your pilot registration number on any drone(s) you fly. If you are a commercial (Part 107) RPIC then you do indeed need to register both yourself and any...

    Is there really a reason to buy a Mavic Mini??

    Sorry but that is not at all true. ALL of the same restrictions still apply. The OP is in the USA. The only thing that is different due to the weight is that it does not need to be registered. ALL other regulations and laws apply equally to the MM as any other drone.

    Free, all-in-one drone app: Feedback welcome!

    Actually a Part 107 license is not a requirement to fly in controlled airspace. LAANC authorization is open to both recreational and commercial pilots.

    Free, all-in-one drone app: Feedback welcome!

    Would be nice to have all these features in one place AND also be able to unlock DJI Geo Zones at the same time. Not sure if DJI includes those capabilities in their API. From a programming and customer base point of view, I am wondering why you would neglect 87% of the mobile market by not...

    Is there really a reason to buy a Mavic Mini??

    Agree that it is a good choice for the beginner pilot. I'm not sure about the advanced pilot but that is my opinion of course. I don't think any of us have an unlimited budget and I certainly don't. I was just answering the question in regards to the OP's post regarding purchasing one of he...

    Is there really a reason to buy a Mavic Mini??

    These statements depend greatly on what country you live in. You did not specify your country, but the OP lives and flies in the USA. These statements are just not true at all here in the USA. I can (and do) fly almost anywhere I want to, both legally and safely. In the USA there is zero...

    Is there really a reason to buy a Mavic Mini??

    Pretty much an entry level drone at an attractive price point. I personally don't plan on buying one unless at some point I get a great deal on a used one. I would then pick it up just to play with it and see how it works. Also a big turn off is the DJI Fly app, which of course you would also...

    P3 Firmware NO ACCOUNTABILITY FROM PHANTOM

    There would indeed be a flight record up to the time of disconnection. That part is actually not clear at all, and only an assumption you made.
