That's pretty nice. Pretty sure I'd hardly ever use my phone with that controller.

So basically you lose all the smart flight modes I'm guessing? I never use those for photos, and only sometimes for video. So wouldn't be much of a loss for me. Not having to fuss around with my phone would be a nice perk.

The screen on the remote will show you the live view from the drone? I wasn't aware of that. I though it was basically the same as the screen on the mavic remote, just a little bigger. I'm still waiting on a response from DJI to see if i am going to be switching or not.

I did see one video comparison showing the video side by side. To me, the video SOC looks better on the mavic, but you can get the same results with the evo with some basic video edits. The video from the evo looked too de-saturated to me. But it was a review from several months ago so it's...

Hi All, I currently have a mavic 2 pro. I may be ditching the DJI universe soon and I'm looking at the autel evo II 6k as a replacement. Just wondering if anyone has used both drones and can give an opinion comparing the two of them?

I did send an email to the contact for the county parks - got a sort of non-answer back from them that didn't really offer anything useful.

thats what i thought. Seemed really silly to me that they just decided to ban drones in ALL parks. I would have at least designated 2-3 days as drone ok days, since i can understand not wanting to hear a bunch of buzzing drones on the days the parks are busy.

I'm not asking about specific county rules - i'm asking if any non-federal govt agency can regulate airspace. I thought only the FAA could, which means the state/county/city couldn't really enforce a rule saying you couldnt fly a drone in a park. The best they could do would be to prevent you...

A while back I went into a county park and was going to fly my drone to get some shots just for fun. A park ranger showed up and said drones were completely forbidden from any county parks. Seems like a rather un-thought out response to drones. I can certainly see banning them on certain days...

Ok thanks. I seemed to have managed to annoy enough people without trying, i didn't want to break any forum rules to boot ;) I'm fine discussing it here if 401 wants, or in PM.

Thanks - what would the right price be? It would basically be an all day thing, especially if you're 144 miles away. Although actual on-site time would be two 2 hour shifts. And do you have your own drone? if so, which one? Feel free to send me a direct message, since this probably somewhat off...

You realize you've justified driving over the speed limit the same way I was justifying flying two drones, right? You've used your own judgement to determine that under conditions, you can safely break the law. It's a very hypocritical argument. I still feel under this specific scenario, I...

I'm not disrespecting anyone, I'm disagreeing and trying to make a point. I never said the FAA would care about my opinion. Nor was i looking for confirmation or support. My original question was about pricing. Someone else mentioned needing multiple pilots and i replied to that. I just find it...

So you're telling me you NEVER jaywalk? you NEVER go over the speed limit when driving? You always report any items you buy online that you dont get charged sales tax? Maybe I am being arrogant, but I have faith in my ability to operate a drone in a safe and reasonable manner, even if that...

Yeah I'm aware of that...but I was basically going to ignore that since I won't really need to fly the drones around. They are just going to go straight up and down and hover in place.
