If you’re going to attach any sort of payload on the M2P, be sure to have at least a 6’ or so leader line between the drone and the object. I tried this yesterday and it’s quite tricky since the downdraft and winds reveal a changing obstacle to the sensor. Just be careful. (No, this is not a...

....and he would still be within VLOS as you are when you look at your display. And you’re right, the regs say nothing about a glance at the controller so VLOS still applies, right? But let’s both chill a bit. I was just telling him that this is not the best forum for an aberrant questions -...

Although I can’t answer your question directly, I can tell you that this site may not be the best place to request that type of info. You will often get lectures on VLOS even though you are a grown and fully responsible adult. I say this because all pilots violate VLOS each time they take...

I have noticed the same issue with my M2P.. i usually do WayPoint missions and despite User Manual, YouTube, and forums such as this, have been unable to control this problem with yaw drift. It’s annoying and not at par with other DJI functionality. Even with out of the package props and...

Yes the immediate answer is to comply with recognized authority. Do understand however that that shouldn’t be the end of it. Drone flying, comparatively speaking is still rare. For example, in suburban Houston the majority of law enforcement officials will tell you that the only appropriate...

First off, FAA regulations are understood. Question: From a technical perspective, could you not enhance the effectiveness of the dish-type metal, reflector, slip-on accessories by GROUNDING those metallic reflectors to the drone’s controller circuit board? I am not a technician but It would...

I suppose if you look down at your controller, you have broken literal VLOS compliance - Yes, all of us. So it’s really a matter of the time of that loss and not really the loss itself. Exploration and curiosity of the limits of anything is to be expected from us human types.

I have CROSSED over highways while always keeping that time over pavement as brief as possible and with a purpose in mind totally unrelated to any traffic below. Further, I will always be at least 300 ft. up so as not to create a usual distraction for drivers below. Finally, and for the same...

See, we can agree on something! Aren’t forums wonderful?!

No I don’t see it as breaking any law - Period. That is my interpretation of what I would do And I feel quite defensible in that stance - an opinion only. He’s no doubt a big boy and can choose to take or disregard any response, your included, on this open access, public site for the exchange...

No, you’re over reacting and expanding a simple personal opinion to an inevitable violation of federal law. This is so so silly. My best to you and yours my friend.

No, he was asking for an opinion based from someone who MIGHT have greater knowledge than he: an opinion. There are no judicial level authorities on this site so far as I know. If so, it is not a forum. Anonymous????? My name and a current and fully identifiable headshot is tagged to every...

Laws have not been broken, or at at least none that I’m aware of. The person was asking for an opinion, not a decision or a ruling from an indisputable authority. That’s why it’s called a forum as that’s how I WOULD approach this for a friend. Having said that, I can’t speak to the real...
