    FAA To streamline 333 sUAS/UAS COA's

    Ya at this stage of the game the petition letter is almost boilerplate. You can look at every single one that's been submitted, and those that have been approved... and all the correspondence in between. What you can't see are the ops documents. I notice that the law firm mentioned refers you to...

    FAA To streamline 333 sUAS/UAS COA's

    It's not just the application (which isn't really an application.. it's a petition letter). You need a operations manual, aircraft flight and maintenance manuals, etc. The ops manual is an original document. I spent over 200 hours writing mine. Also, if all goes well it can be done in 4 months...

    DJI put me in business, and is taking me out...

    When I went freelance after leaving a staff job in news, my Sony Betacam w/lens was over $60k. Tripod, $8k, wireless mics, lighting, etc.. another $25k. Then you needed a Suburban with a cage to cart it all around. I had to mortgage my house to get into the business. So not just any idiot was...

    What is it supposed to accomplish? Isn't that what the gimbal does every time you start it? I have a slight roll when panning. That kind of issue? Thx.

    What transmitter are you using for gimbal?

    I have a pair of 14SG's that I share with two rigs, then a third 14SG as a spare in case I do something stupid like drop one while on a gig. Nice to be able to load all the profiles in all three transmitters.

    Drone flying, Bahamas

    I am not finding any existing regulations for commercial drone operation in the Bahamas, specifically Nassau. Does anyone have any experience there, or issues with customs and lipos? Thx.

    Drones Illegal in Austin, TX

    Some a$$hole drunk driver got through some barricades last year after an attempted police stop and pursuit and proceeded to run over and kill four people (2 died later). http://www.statesman.com/news/news/sxsw-tragedy-2-killed-23-hurt-as-car-speeds-throug/nfCLQ/

    The FAA Says You Can't Post Drone Videos on YouTube

    And what if a non commercially rated pilot posts his GoPro footage from his Cessna? They don't seem to care about that, and I've never heard of anyone being asked about the un approved strut mount either.. stupid.
