In the US the FCC regulates the transmission of radio signals. DJI and other drone companies have FCC certification to transmit on specific frequencies and at specified power. You can not just start transmitting a radio signal without an FCC license. In the early days all the radio control...
Pick a nice calm day and go to a big empty field like a high school football field.
In my neighborhood I make sure I fly higher than trees and powerlines. there is nothing to run into up there.
Just make sure there is enough room when you use the return to home function.
If you are like me you...
Gee football shaped at 11,000 feet.
Could it be a helium filled balloon from a birthday party?
and what plane approaches the runway from 11,000 feet.
You are right about the pathetic state of journalists. These are stupid people who repeat verbatim what they are told without the slightest bit...
I tried a VR headset but had some issues with my iPhone 6s overheating and shutting down.
Now I have the very expensive Zeiss Cinemizers connected to the HDMI port. They are light and much less bulky than other solutions.
Great picture to.
If you get them but the eye shields, they help block...
I think you are looking at a drone for a slightly different market like more active people who want to be followed while participating in sports like skiing and biking.
I doubt this is intended for photographers
I am using the TK102 which I make sure is charged before each flight.
I did buy a Trackimo, which came dead. My email complaint was met with silence, so can't recommend that one.
I bought the TK102 mount from eBay. Works great and you can charge the unit without removing it.
It appears a requirement to be a journalist is stupidity.
Before you try to inform others you need to inform yourself but many journalists are simple ignoramouses who's idea of research is sticking a microphone in someone's face and asking a dumb question.
Gee I hate to be a party pooper here but you need a license from the FCC to do anything that increases transmitter power.
That usually means getting an amateur radio license and operating on approved frequencies
That of course depends on your operating system, Mac or PC.
On the MAC I'm using Final Cut Pro.
My first videos were really unsteady and showed a lot of ugly artifacts. I was shooting in D-log to preserve as much detail as possible. Now I'm using apple's compressor to convert d-log to Apple...
I am assuming request permission requires you to contact the tower at the local airfield. Good luck getting permission from them. You just need to find a legal place to fly.
I have a mini-GPS tracker on my phantom. Look for TK102b on eBay.
It requires a SIM card but with pay as you go plans it is still reasonable.
I charge it up before flights. You just call the phone number associated with the sim and it sends you a text method with the gps co-ordinates in the form...
