Sure sounds like the commercial drone industry could use a real trade organization..

How popular is FPV racing, in the US and around the World? Is there room for improvement with the flight controller to make FPV more competitive? Same question regarding motors and ESC's? Is there anyone using HD for FPV? If so what kind of Tx/Rx? Would HD FPV improve the overall racing...

Its interesting that the FAA has mandated drone registration in an effort to protect the publics privacy and safety, yet drone operators are part of the that public and they don't think twice about our privacy and safety. I'm pretty sure that the government knows pretty much all they want to...

Don't get me started on how screwed up DJI is... One thing that drives me nuts is one of the guys heading up AirMap, that wonderful GEO fencing system DJI is using is the attorney we worked with on the NPRM. How does someone go from being an advocate for commercial drone use to creating that...

The AMA got in bed with the FAA a long time ago, at least they thought they did. They wanted their membership to have a carve out from the federal registration, now that they have to participate like the rest of us second class citizens they're complaining about it. I doubt they have the balls...

I have the PolarPro filters and they work well, but I think I only paid something like $60 for the set. I purchased mine before they included the polarizers so it was just the CP ND8, 16 and 32. Not sure their worth $150, I pretty much only use the ND32, ND16 is a bit light and ND64 is a bit...

If they're out of the consumer drone business then they'll be out of business. They have already completely pulled out of the commercial drone business, the only product they sell is the SOLO, a consumer drone.

How about injecting some common sense. A lot of this is old news, ALPA has always been against GA, not that flying a drone below 500' is actually GA. But ALPA won't be happy until there is no longer VFR which would cripple the GA industry. This is not about safety, there's no way the...

Hi Ben, I guess it depends on how you define a good story.. Not so good if you were the guy flying around minding his own business and you have to spend an hour or two dealing with some secret service pinhead justifying what you were doing. Also overall it is a good story except that the...

Would like to see that...

looking at the number of shots and amount of footage it almost looks like you did this over a couple of days, but your wearing the same clothes and the weather is the same so I kind of knew it was accomplished in one shoot. When you think how far all of this has come that's pretty impressive.

Very nice video. How many flights, batteries and over what period of time did this take?

It certainly worth reading if your just starting out, but if you've been doing aerial for any amount of time it's. It particularly useful. So from the perspective of wanting to learn something new, I was disappointed but I enjoyed the book.

Drones are the epitome of the "not in my back yard" or "not invented here" syndrome.

I think the question is, how do you ship them? It would be great if people who travel with thier drones regularily would share who they do it. Last place I traveled with a drone was Kenya and that was only with 4S 5000MaH batteries. How are people traveling with the much larger batteries...

The drone didn't buzz the president, Obama buzzed the drone! The operator had no idea that the motorcade was in the vicinity, how could he?

Good catch, that's funny. In 2015 some skier will almost be hit by a drone and every idiot pundit will break their arms patting themselves on the back taking credit for predicting the enevitable. 3DR will be out of business.. DJI will rule the world and the transformation will be complete...

If you register everyone has your personal info.

As unfortunate as this incident is, and it is extremely unfortunate, when comparing the safety record of civilian drones to just about anything else over the same period of time, it's not even close. This activity has been incredibly safe and the majority of operators tried to be safe...

I might be more accepting of this hyperbola if anyone could point me to the first Tombstone? Any Tombstone? Just one?
