    Florida is Anti-Drone. Unconstitutional?

    Yes you can be accused civilly, but wouldn't they need to prove damages? And the video is where? On YOUR SD card!

    Why Don't UAV Operators Report Shooters To FAA?

    Here in Florida, a drone is not allowed to video or film anyone where they have a reasonable expectation to privacy. I.E. inside your house, or behind a privacy fence. If it happens that a drone does break this law, it is a civil matter and not a criminal one. For the most of us, we would only...

    Why Don't UAV Operators Report Shooters To FAA?

    With the recent reporting of a woman in Virginia who shot down a drone, I am wondering when the drone operators involved will make a report to the appropriate federal authorities. It would be a litmus test regarding the F.A.A.'s authority. Supposedly the F.A.A. gives drones the same status as...

    Neighbor shoots down drone near Robert Duvall’s property

    Admittedly, we are biased in our opinions on this subject. If I were the person who owned the drone, I would have notified the appropriate authorities and let them dot heir dance! Until one of us does this, the public will always have the perception of domain over the airspace.

    3D Obstruction Highlighting in Hivemapper

    Yes it was switching by itself very rapidly. When I tapped the record icon it locked into record mode and the video from the card was very nice. The screen of my tablet 9 Samsung Tab A) was horrible. I will try it out in a field nearby and see what happens. It could be an awesome App!

    3D Obstruction Highlighting in Hivemapper

    I just loaded an offline map and took the P3 outside for a dry fire! No props but turned everything on. The video feed was intermittent and not stable. I never got any telemetry since I moved the bird by hand. I tapped on the icon for the video since it was switching back and forth between video...

    3D Obstruction Highlighting in Hivemapper

    I downloaded it and fired it up. The video feed is very intermittent and I am afraid to fly it. I checked my drone on DJI Go and all was good.

    Why such horrible video quality?

    I want to thank everyone for their assistance in helping with this problem. The real problem as it turns out is I had a serious head space and timing issue! LOL! I had uploaded the videos from the wrong folder. The real videos from the card in the camera are really good, and I had indeed...

    Anything I Should Know Before Traveling To Philippines

    It is not necessary to get permission. They don't care any more than the U.S. TSA.
