    New DJI policy: No flight record syncing for US drone pilots

    Looks like I'll go back to using Litchi, easy sync to AirData. It has features I like better anyway.

    80W, wow wow wow!

    Looking to do same, better upgrade from A2 than A2s. Hope soon but A2 is still a nice lil bird.

    I got swarmed!

    I've returned with bee parts covering my drone. Had to get to 200' to get away from them. Not easy to remove either.

    DJI Air 3 compatibility

    Point F seems appropriate for what happened. More like WTF

    A.P.: What you need to know about the DJI drone ban in the U.S.

    DJI is already building and selling their own knockoffs in another country not under scrutiny and sold in the US. I have to believe there will be options to keep existing drones flying, like having firmware and flight apps made in the USA or a trading partner country. Similar to what's suggested...

    A.P.: What you need to know about the DJI drone ban in the U.S.

    If this is passed and flying DJI is illegal, the gov should reimburse owners for every one they own. That might change their minds. Voting them out even better.

    A Drone Flight Over Stonehenge

    Thanks for not flying through the stones. The view from above was not too intrusive from the looks of it.. nobody pointing up and waving.

    Air 2s Mornington Pier Victoria Australia

    Nice view. The long breakwater jetty looks fishy. If only I wasn't half a world away.

    Pro Salt Lakes and Wetlands in Australia's Mallee country in the dry.

    Stunning! Thank you for posting here. I noticed some work was done with a P4P+, glad to see they're still proving their worth.

    Battery Malfunction

    There are several brand names made for electronics and circuit boards. Look at reviews and prices on Amazon. Auto parts and hardware stores carry as well. There's always a Walmart close too.

    Battery Malfunction

    Rinse inside and motors with fresh water, dry thoroughly and use plenty of corrosion block. Electronics and salt water don't often end well. Good Luck

    Mavic Pro Battery repair - what are my options

    I used to buy/sell drones to support my drone habit and plenty had bad batteries. They're often a large part of the value when purchasing so confirming they are usable is very important. Many novice owners do not maintain batteries properly, as you've seen. I wouldn't try to repair, only replace...

    Found bag and batteries for DJI drone near Watkins Glen NY

    There are places to list lost and found, like your local newspaper and Facebook. If the owner has mentioned the loss to friends, it may get returned. Better yet, post a flyer with ph# near the location you found them. They're valuable so probably get a reward.

    Puzzling to me

    One popular youtube video was testing distance over water using an A2 with a Rescue Jacket. It was exciting cuz he barely made it home with 10% battery left. FAA used that video to bust him for BVLOS flight and faced consequences (a fine I believe). Conclusion: don't post your drone violations
