    FAA Release NEW rules for UAS Operations

    So, drone manufacturers have 18 months to deliver remote ID drones and end users have an additional year to buy them. It looks like my old drones are still good for 2 1/2 years. If the diminishing number of people posting on these forums is any indicator, interest in drones is slowing down at...

    Dji Go4 Mod 2+ Superpatcher, satellite count?

    You didn't get a real answer to your question, so I'll try. UAV Forecast says I shouldn't fly because they predict 11.8 satellites viewable at my location. At 60 feet above launch point, my Spark shows 20 satellites. It kept giving me a low battery warning, so I didn't try going higher...

    Drone enthusiasm?

    A couple of years ago they sold Sparks and Mavics in Wal-Mart. Not now. In a way it feels a little bit like "reaching the end of the internet." Litchi gave it a bit of new life, but I wanted more. I have flown over everything I wanted to see and have half a terabyte of video on my computer...

    New owner - is Litchi worth it?

    Buying Litchi was the best thing i ever did for my drones. It lets the Spark do things that would be impossible with dji GO. The only flight app installed on my devices is Litchi.

    FAA (USA) new proposed rules for UAV Remote-ID and location

    When drones are outlawed, only outlaws will have drones.

    Fake Photos

    And now the trend to over-embellish has spilled over to television with HDR. It all makes the world, I actually live in, look a bit dull.

    Is the Spark still relevant?

    Litchi works with my Spark. It does not work with the Mavic Mini. That is all I need to know to cement my decision to pass on buying the Mini. My Spark isn't outdated, in fact it has become MORE valuable to me since dji no longer sells it.

    Spark Replacement the Mavic Mini

    In all of the pictures I've seen the CONTROLLER seems to be missing. Is this thing going to run directly from the phone? That makes it look a lot like a $400 Tello. I gave my Tello to my grand-daughter and I am not wanting another one.

    Master airscrew release props for the Spark

    OK, I just got back from vacation and my Master Airscrew props were waiting for me and tempting me to break my rule about flying in the rain. First, I did a little test hover in the garage with the dji props so I would have a very unscientific reference point. Installation of the new props was...

    regarding nfz

    That is an Enhanced Warning Zone. In these Zones, you will be prompted by GEO at the time of flight to unlock the zone using the same steps as in an Authorization Zone, but you do not require a verified account or an internet connection at the time of your flight.

    Shell color - painting your spark...

    I have 2 Sparks because I crashed one and got the 2nd one to use while the 1st was being repaired. I have 2 Mavics too, but no crashes to report there. My Arctic White Mavic is much faster than the grey one, but I suspect the reason for that is tweaking with NLD software. Don't ask me which...

    Shell color - painting your spark...

    I painted my Spark to make it look more like a bumble bee. I'm pretty sure it goes 12-13% faster thanks to the new paint. ;)

    Spark discontinued?

    Since right after Christmas, none of the Wal*Marts in my area seem to have ANY drones in stock. They still have the display, just no drones (except possibly cheapo junk in the toy department).
