I'd be hesitant that you'd toast the camera since it's somewhat sealed. Also, vacuum won't evaporate anything - it will suck the air out of any moisture but then the moisture rushes in to fill those voids when you remove vacuum - making your problem exponentially worse. I know this because I...

It won't - but the GPS can be off one minute and the next "whoops!" and down you go.

If there's one internet myth I'd like to wipe off the planet this is it. I'm an experienced electronics guy and rice is NOT a desiccant and never will be effective in removing water in any way. If the item was submerged then rinse in distilled/deionized water. Then put in a bag and liberally...

Looks like out near Llano - some of my favorite photography area!

It's not news that a Moped under 50cc is marketed as not needing a vehicular license. It's also not news that some three wheeled motorcycle/scooters are advertised as not needing a motorcycle endorsement on your license. Over-regulation has always stifled growth and innovation and companies find...

They'll have to pry my drone away from my cold, dead, battery depleted controller! ;)

Good grief - it gets old. A - All these idiots flaunting the FAA rules because: 1 - ignorance 2 - willfully ignore 3 - stupidity B - scofflaws are going to ruin it for the rest rinse repeat. No shortage of soapboxes on any of forums where folks own Dji products. Y'all come up with...

We're not talking about registration - I was asking about exemptions from flying restrictions. Two separate things.

I'm not sure how any of that applied since Australia wasn't mentioned. Europe also defines a limit at 250g or over. The restrictions are significant such as requiring 1 million Euros liability insurance plus airspace restrictions. The question was which of these onerous requirements will the...

This is a growing problem which I blame on 2 things: 1 - the media hyper sensationalizing "privacy" issues 2 - authorities that indulge people's fantasies as "normal". It seems absolutely absurd that people would allow the massive surveillance state in most countries without blinking an eye and...

So the question I have is how does the weight factor into flying in Europe/UK? I was so aggravated at not being able to use my Spark or Mavic while in Switzerland and Germany this summer. Some of the cathedrals and castles just beg for an aerial shot. So will the under 250g mean I can fly it...

Have you looked at mapping apps?

More likely they just went back to feeding - they couldn't give a hoot about your drone since it's not their food. If you have mosquitoes you should be thanking the little guys since they eats tons of them.

Have you ever seen any authorities out there? If they have signs about poaching and you're not carrying anything that looks like fishing tackle or a gun I'd say they won't care. Get thee forth and have a look. Cops are reasonable folks and if you point out you're trying to prevent environmental...
