A little off-topic, but is a certification required for all personal drone use in the US?
Poor Casey Neistat Lost his Mavic Pro
- Thread starter Klnyc
- Start date
If that, it's your interest, (why the Mavic didn't return on lost signal) why this sentence?
"I wonder if he knows how to get the flight log off his phone"?
Is that the way you reach your goals?
Read all I wrote and the overall construction. My clarification should be evident then.

Good.
No need to get yourself all worked up. The discussion is pointless. Casey doesn't need, and I suspect wouldn't be interested in, people defending him. It's s matter of opinion whether he is entertaining but he is a performer no question. If you enjoy his videos great.

Yes sir. Everything .55-55 lbs must now be registered with the FAA ....I presume you register with NASA over 55lbs

Sounds like a hassle. That site appears to be blocked for people outside of the US, so I assume that doesn't apply to visitors.Yes sir. Everything .55-55 lbs must now be registered with the FAA ....I presume you register with NASA over 55lbs

It's really not bad...and a fair enough trade for pretty minimally restricted use. I can't speak to visitor protocol, but as the "sUAS" boom still has a tenuous relationship with the rest of the population, I'm happy to accommodate and urge everyone else to do the same
Reckless as he's flown out of sight, over 400', at night? Then he's in a huge group of reckless fliers... including a vast majority of people on this forum and thread. Truth is, him losing a Mavic is no big deal (which is what this thread is about).
How many P3's has he lost and crashed? How many P4's? The answer is a lot. Over 10. The guy is completely irresponsible when it comes to drone flying.
I hope you never drop them in a river and post it on Youtube. It appears you will get some haters because you are "an idiot".
:-/ I have to disagree that it's a fair trade. You give your information to the government on a publicly-accessible database (which they promised wouldn't be, so now everyone knows you have fun, high-tech stuff at home), to form a legal contract that says you can't fly at night (even though these have lights on them) or above 400 ft at any point (regardless of context or conditions)? Doesn't really seem that fair to me.
But hey, I'm just one person in the (seeming) minority that believes the government shouldn't be involved in every little thing we do.
Ten? How many videos of his have you watched to come to that number? I rest my case. I write all day long... want to know how many pens I've broken and lost? I _lot_. I guess I'm "reckless".
It probably is, wait for Part 2 coming tomorrow... First 5 minutes will be him "staging" his recovery. Only to show that DJI sent him a brand new Mavic.

Well truthfully I'm not thrilled about all of it either (especially the public list part) and but the hammer could have come down a lot harder, and still might if there is good cause given for it...I'll leave that all for another thread though.
Anyway my money's still on crashed
Cached video is a good idea...tweet at him.Devin's crew mentioned rigging an Inspire so that it was not safe to fly. They also lost control of a jet ski and got a Red camera wet. Reckless with nice equipment. Let's spread some of that hate around. We can't have these people taking changes with such nice equipment just to make good videos. Only when we _all_ have nice equipment can these people take risks with their own equipment!
