Reading threads like this help immensely! One can learn a whole lot from them and be more informed on, not only the drone itself but on piloting it. Kudos to all you that analyze and share you knowledge! (and sorry for your loss Atomic08)

When I saw all the info was available online, I thought "great!" The problem I had with that is, it's all over the place. Video here, guidebook there. Nothing really structured covering the things you need to know for sure. I chose REMOTEPILOT101 for a couple of reasons: -It's structured well...

Welcome. I fly in ND and Northern MN myself.

Depends on the cruise lines, check their FAQ to see if you are allowed to bring. Most lines have come out with rules for drones, so don't attempt to fly FROM the ship. Port areas are usually NO FLY areas, so you're going to have to leave the area first. Check AirMap or similar for each port...

The reason I got into drones in the first place was because I wanted to take video of places I travel to and share them. I'm a Travel Agent and I wanted to post my videos on YouTube to entice others to travel to these locations and contact me to assist them. I then found out that by posting...

Thank you so much, exactly the information I was looking for.

Anyone around using one of these with their controller? Not many helpful reviews on it. What is your experience?

I set it to 10 thinking it was knots...lol.[emoji3]

I have been using it and i find it beneficial. I wish they would add more features and things but it helps hone your skills. It gives me trouble when connecting but eventually it works.

I've always loved seeing drone footage on YouTube. I decided I wanted a drone to take along on my trips to film resorts and vacations I take. (I'm a Travel Agent) A month later, I've got two drones, an FCC Remote Pilot rating and a new obsession.

I can land my DJI Spark on a piece of bread in my yard. Hovers spot-on. I have a hard time bringing my H Pro down in my own yard! It's night/day different in flying. It blows all over the place. I've gone through all the calibrations and I'll try it again. To me, seems like the GPS just isn't...

No firmware updates to do. I have temporarily put the FAA reg number inside the battery compartment. I will put it on the outside when I get a decent label. It did come with the lanyard and sunshade. Also backpack and everything else you need. I have since bought a double smart charger and...

I too, did the Typhoon H Pro deal on Woot last week. My ST-16 came in the 3 antenna arrangement. There were no tags anywhere stating it was a refurb unit. (which is odd, because I buy a lot of refurbished items and they always indicate it somewhere for warranty or non-warranty purposes. Took it...

I don't want to come off mean, but common sense will tell you batteries are dangerous. Did you not see the Samsung Note 7 phones being banned from aircraft for batteries igniting? Batteries are stored energy. Any stored energy can be dangerous. Treat it accordingly.

Great to know! I have bought a few refurbed items in the past with the same experience. Not one issue. I bought a DJI Spark a month ago (brand new/first drone). Love that thing but had my eye on the Typhoon H. (youtube) Talked myself out of it until I saw the WOOT deal. :=) Now I have two...
