    FAA bans....

    The walls of a nuclear power plant can withstand the impact of a F4 Phantom at 500 mph, I doubt a DJI Phantom can do that much harm.

    POLL: What do you shoot, 1080, 2.7, or 4K?

    You don't need a super fast computer to work with 4k footage. If you use Premiere you can adjust the playback resolution to 1/2th, 1/4th, and 1/8th to view your edits if the video starts to not play smoothly. I work with 4K and 6K footage all the time and my computer is 4 years old.

    Drone spins and crashes, can anyone help?

    I'm pretty sure that a strong radio signal can throw off the compass and cause a crash since there is no real shielding inside the Phantoms and the compasses are pretty sensitive. I'm really sure that they intersected a wireless antenna WiFi stream since they can operate on frequencies that the...

    Drone spins and crashes, can anyone help?

    N8JYF That might have something to do with the signal being AM and having a quiet information wave on the carrier and a low power transmitter. When I worked on jets I knew that the HF system could blow out truckers CB radios if we tuned to their channels and spoke into the microphone. These...

    Drone spins and crashes, can anyone help?

    I had my old phantom 2 spiralled clockwise and crashed once when I accidentally intersected a directional antenna for wireless internet that was mounted on a house. It sounds like you might be hitting interference like I did.

    Legalities of flying over reservation land.

    Some tribes have a permit for shooting films, and some don't. I guess I'm lucky since I'm a tribal member on the reservation here. Here's a shot I did a few months ago on the rez. Please excuse the music. :P

    Legalities of flying over reservation land.

    Yes, ask permission from the tribal council to shoot footage on the reservation, and if you have and friends who is a tribal member, have them come along just in case someone says something or asks questions. People are going to be curious and ask questions. Just FYI, I'm native and live on a...

    Legalities of flying over reservation land.

    Land copyright? It sounds like some people were just messing with you, and if you weren't located on federal Indian land during the shoot, legally I don't think nothing could of been done in their tribal court.

    Your personal wind maximums

    I do 15 mph max, and sometimes I'll restrict myself further because I'll be flying close to trees and or rocks.

    Pretty much can't fly drones in Cali now

    It says that you can get an exemption from the super attendant if you need to get shots from inside the park. See if you can open a dialog and perhaps it will work out. The letter looks like they don't want a million drones flying around and disturbing wildlife. I live by a small airport...
