    Drones for sale on Face Book seem to all be scams

    Afraid of face to face. WOW, are you afraid they are going lure you to their house, shoot you and steal the cash you brought with you? I am sure glad I live in the wilds of WNY. I keep saying the urban folks are different from us hicks.... guess I am right! Listing on FB Marketplace placed...

    Buying a used mini 3 pro - what should I be aware of about previous account?

    Thank you. That makes sense. Seller has to unbind and the rc controller has to be paired to drone and then buyer can register. Mostly the registry is for DJI customer care and insurance??? Thank you, Bill

    Buying a used mini 3 pro - what should I be aware of about previous account?

    I am a total neophyte in NYS. If I buy a used MINI 3 or 4 and it has the RC controller all the information for bonding/un-bonding is already preloaded in the controller????? And without doing anything with DJI, I will be able to fly it, with no altitude or range limitations, right out of the...

    WANTED MINI 3 Pro With RC Controller

    Still undecide but would buy a used Mini 3 pro for the right price. However, I only consider one with the RC controller.

    2nd hand Mini 3 Pro remote ID broadcast

    Have I got this right? If I buy a used drone in the US, regardless of if it has been activated before, I will still be able to fly it recreationally? No deleting anything or worrying about some alphabet agency shooting my dog? (perfect description) The previous owner is getting his...

    More Confused Than Ever..Help

    Thank you all. I'll be looking for a used Mini 3pro but they are nearly as much as a Mini 4. I'll watch e-bay, but only buy where I can return. My reference to cocktail hour was a misnomer. Cocktail hour at our house is a gathering time for children, grandchildren and great grandchildren. I...

    More Confused Than Ever..Help

    At 85 I need a new toy! Thought a drone would scratch the itch. Something I could launch off the deck during cocktail hour and check out our food plots all less than a mile away. Would be nice to take stills and video, I am not even a good amateur photographer. I have been lurking and asking...

    Flying over dams

    Now if it is an "off limits" government impoundment, that's a different story. If it was an open impoundment, I'll stick with my original feelings. Over reaction and part of the reason LEO has a poor reputation. Being honest, cooperative and polite goes both ways.

    So Still Up In The Air About My First Drone

    Is the Air 2s as easy to fly as the Mini 4 pro? Does it have avoidance like the Mini 4 pro?

    Flying over dams

    Just a darn minute! If you were fishing or boating on the lake, are they saying you can't take pictures? I think you ran into a guy who wanted to jerk you around because you were a "rich plutocrat" with a drone. How did they find you so fast, they had to be watching. Now if it is an "off...
