    USA DJI - Red Restricted No Fly Zone? Paul Brown Stadium/Cincy

    Mike, I've flown PBS many times, It's outside LUK airspace and if you have your 107, should not be an issue. One thing though, the last time I flew near (not into, because I wasn't working for the Bengals) I was approached by CPD. They were fine, just checked to make sure I was licensed.

    First Responder battery storage management

    Thanks Dave, I completely agree with your comment about flight proficiency being more important that battery maintenance. This is a huge issue that the Fire / SAR agencies will need to deal with. It is also one I've been struggling with while developing an SOP. Firefighters are accustomed to...

    First Responder battery storage management

    Those were along the lines of what I was thinking.... thanks for helping! No matter what we do it will require a great deal of discipline and persistent training. Not an easy nut to crack....... Thanks

    First Responder battery storage management

    There has been a great deal of discussion regarding the use of UAV's for SAR and Emergency operations. I'm involved in creating an SOP (standard operating procedure) for a regional USAR Task Force (Urban Search and Rescue) regarding the use of UAV during emergency operations. My question is, so...

    New Firmware 1.3 issues

    I don't know if this is really a firmware issue or some strange coincidence. The ONLY other thing strange I did was to install Smart Powercharger's Prop Guards. Up until now this has flown without any issues.

    New Firmware 1.3 issues

    New sd card, formatted, .bin only file, started to download, and then quit after about 10min of normal download activity, indicating with a solid tone. Tried this multiple times.... still fails. I guess it's back to momma with this one. Thank you all for your input!

    New Firmware 1.3 issues

    that's the funny thing, no txt file. Also, I tried the update on the controller and had no txt file using a jump drive. I may try to re-seat the camera for grins..... iPad under overall status still says I need upgrades. Camera, aircraft, RC, and Battery, ( it's a new battery)

    New Firmware 1.3 issues

    I just tried to download the firmware 1.3. I have successfully updated my inspire a few times already so i'm pretty sure it's not "pilot error", however this last update is causing headaches. I have tried multiple times to upload the firmware, nothing happens. No beeps, no nothing. I have...

    Drone Rules to Land Soon: FAA

    OMG! all I want to do is shoot pretty video with a tool that is as much of a game changer in the production world as the Steadicam was in the 70's. Why does everything have to be so difficult! Ah, don't answer that.... it's because the world has a good dose of stupid people..... I feel...
