    First flight - very negative experience with person on the ground.

    Remember, when others annoy you, they are also controlling you.

    Recreational drone now illegal in most of Canada...

    How are drone laws in your neck of the woods? They were all invented by right wing governments. If you want to make this into a political issue, I think you are being very foolish. The Canadian laws took a lot longer to come into effect than those in the supposed land of the free.

    Well no, this is not true at all.

    How long should you keep a lost drone?

    This only applies in the land of the free. Up here in communist Canada, and I suspect most everywhere else, we have no such laws regarding registering drones.

    Tripod mode is amazing

    If you give a man a fish, you will feed him for a day. If you teach a man to fish, you will feed him for a lifetime.

    Neighbour troubles

    If you've video'd him shooting at your machine, call the police and show them the video. As long as you aren't flying over his property, he has no cause to try to damage your property. There is much more chance of him hurting someone with a slingshot (which may be a restricted weapon in your...

    Stand up for your rights and keep them, fail to do that and you lose your rights a degree at a time. Your choice.

    RAW is processed, JPG is not

    My guess is that your raw converter is assigning a profile that you don't like. You might have to build a custom profile that is assigned to your raw converter. This is a converter problem not a file problem.

    null

    Consider that it is probably a one way flight and you are going to crash your bird and destroy it.

    Camera setting for picture size

    The Phantom sensor is a 4:5 aspect ratio, so shoot in that format to maximize the real estate. Shoot RAW and the lowest ISO possible to minimize noise. These cameras are noise monsters off base ISO. You will be cropping the top and bottom of the image to get your 2:3 aspect ratio. Be aware that...

    Whose sky is it anyway? U.S. drone case tests rights to air space

    Canada geese (they are not "Canadian geese") weigh some 8 pounds, and flight 1549 ingested at least 3 of them. If you want to treat that as mainstream, feel free. Modern jet engines are designed to be able to take a bird strike of up to 4 pounds. Flight 1549 ingested at least 6 times that amount...

    Whose sky is it anyway? U.S. drone case tests rights to air space

    Dude, there is a huge difference between an RC plane and a real airplane. A drone will be no worse than a bird strike to a real plane. plane damaged by hail storm - Google Search

    DJI Mandatory, uninterruptible actions are wrong, legally actionable

    In other words, you didn't know where you were flying, and you want to blame the manufacturer because your machine did exactly what the documentation said it would do when you flew it somewhere it was not allowed to be. If you are really in charge of your aircraft, you wouldn't have gone into...

    I found cooling the machine down a lot and then calibrating the IMU made for shorter warm up times.
