    Maintenance and Flight Management Apps

    I like it too. But battery logging is what I was looking for and until DJI gives them access to make it automatic, it won't be right for me.

    Maintenance and Flight Management Apps

    I still have a problem with AirData. Well...it's actually with DJI who will not log both batteries for the I2. It picks one, and if you want to log the second you have to manually link it to the correct flight. It is a notorious "Coming Soon" feature. I feel for Airdata who is being crippled...

    Maintenance and Flight Management Apps

    I use a two tiered approach. My primary app is a filemaker database I built. In it I record each flight....who it's for, who flew it, etc. High Level stuff. Then I have an area for site specific info, weather notes, paperwork from FAA, Insurance, other permissions, client notes...anything...

    Where facility map cells extend beyond controlled airspace...

    Figured it was, but kudos to you for going the extra mile.

    Where facility map cells extend beyond controlled airspace...

    Imho...until they include facility map questions on the part 107 test its safe to rely on the airspace map.

    What is a HELIX

    Who did the stick about how many famous last words begin with “Hey...want to see something cool?” I would do multiple passes from varying angles n edit together. And for every drone I know of the props would be in frame for half that flight path.

    Would you bother...

    I do mostly stills and am getting more and more calls from "found you on the web" I always start with "what is your budget for this project" If they say "I don't know how much this should cost" I know they have something in mind. I'll ask "If I were to toss out a number like $200 or $2,000 or...

    Politicians Watching Us

    Personally, I'd be happy to buy one of these. pingRX So small, just move it to whichever vehicle is in the air at the time. I know I'm where I should be, they know I'm there, about the cost of a Mavic. Done....

    Clients wanting unedited footage ...

    We do this all the time. All of our clients (thankfully) are in the film biz. Before we get in the air we've discussed what type of file they will get and have verified that they know they'll be getting flat looking footage. They almost always have a dedicated editor and/or colorist on the...

    CDP Giveaway - Phantom 4 Pro Obsidian!

    SLICK! My son and I started Suborbital Camera as I've been a still shooter for many (many) years and his career has been in the film side of the industry. When we started we did it all completely backwards, starting with big X-8 Octos. In the last year we got an Inspire 2 and it's getting...
