For those of you, like me, with an interest in drones for photography … take a look at what is coming. https://s3.amazonaws.com/public-inspection.federalregister.gov/2019-28100.pdf Unbelievable … 319 pages !! If they’re going to require ADS-B out for drones, why not make it for any drones...

No problem taking off outside National Parks, flying over, and then landing outside... Have done several times, once even w. local sheriff stopping to say hi!!

The way you titled the video it looks likes you climbed to 37,400 ft. !! o_O

Anyone know if you can use the DJI Smart Controller w. Litchi?

What triggers the parachute deployment?

One thing I don’t see anywhere, unless Autopilot App has changed, it is like GO in that it sends commands to the drone as it flies the mission ... so if contact lost for any reason the drone will RTH ... vs. Litchi where flight plan is uploaded at the start, and the mission is flown...

We're getting drone and aircraft altitude reg's. conflated ... drone max 400', aircraft minimum 500' over unpopulated areas ...

Piece of cake if you're a pilot. A bi-annual flight review is required every two years, and that can be used to re-qualify your Part 107 license ..

Good tip ... in fact, excellent!! If you have more than a fender-bender, throw out the battery!! No sense taking chances on a LiPo fire in your home!!

Ted's the guy!!

EASY to see a lit drone at dusk or twilight .... lights can be seen for miles.

I'm sending ALL my DJI drones and see if I can get better ones back!!

My point was there is a big difference between the "accuracy" of GPS computed lat/long vs. map lat/long ... and the difference between what two GPS receivers at the same place compute re. each other's position ... The first is measured in feet ... the latter is in millimeters. It is all digital...

If you look at GPS accuracy BETWEEN TWO RECEIVERS at the same location, or between what the drone detects as the home position, and returning to that GPS location ... the difference is measured in millimeters. The 4 meter RMS is between a map lat/long and what the GPS measures and calculates...
