I totally agree. I even ask nearby people if they mind if I fly and make sure I am not close enough to bother them. I have had so many people thank me for asking and I always ask if they want to see what I am shooting. That gives them a comfort level. Often when they see the quality and...

** I try to be very polite but to share a story** I was with my friend who was flying his drone when a woman came up. We had just seen her dog drop two loads her not even looking or picking up. She screamed “you can’t fly that” my friend replied calmly “yes I can” then she said “I know the law...

Can someone please point to a site(s) where I can find info on flying drones in Hawaii (Maui) I would like to determine if I can fly in or around State parks. I am interested in photography and have seen some nice work by other members. We plan to be there late Oct and am considering buying...

I have not flown in about a month and got a message to upgrade on the DJI app. I have a P4 standard. It started and appeared to down load to my Ipad Pro and then said to connect to the aircraft which I did. It stuck at 99% and at one point said Aircraft may not be supported. (it is about 5...

Thanks for the info. Does anyone know how long you have before you must update. I have a P4 std and do not have much experiences with computers or the ability to trouble shoot when many things happen related to computers. I really would like to wait until I am sure all the bugs are out...

+++++Can someone advise if I can use Ipad with Ipad. I plan a trip Wed and with not have access for downloads that day > was hoping to fly my drone. I looked at the DJI download page and it did not have a new date for update. Is there any limit or is when the update is release I will be locked...

Does anyone know what this new update does or requires? When will it be and how long B/4 you must update? I follow the rules and will always do so. Is this just around airports and are the limits anything different than FAA regs. Many thanks

Good move. I am a retired cop so I know the lingo. I also know the hard job they have and show them the respect they show. I laugh when I heard people trying to bad mouth. If a cop does not know I would rather respectful give them inputs and the majority will listen but trying to be...

We all should act this way. Trying to start a fight with the police on the spot never ends well. I actually visited my local police dept and explained what we are doing and how we verify we are following the rules. I live very close to an airport so am extra careful. I told the Sheriff maybe...

Nice story. Always good to take a few minutes to explain. I even ask people if they mind if I fly so far not one has said no and each time they are impressed that someone takes them into consideration and believe we win people over by show most drone operators are not dirt bags and only a few...

WOW Can you suggest one that you have tried other than Trackimo if the C/S is bad it maybe unavailable at the worse time. I would just like a little more protection finding lost P4 should it fly away

Thanks for Info I have a P4 and interested in Trackimo and as pointed out there is 2G and 3G with 3G selling on their site for $199 about $60 more than 2G model. I have Ipad Mini without sim card but also just purchased Iphone SE with ATT service. Will someone please advise what advantage 3G is...
