    Drone travel on plane? Carry on or checked?

    Lithium batteries are prohibited by all airlines and the TSA in checked baggage. If you put them there and they are found they will be disposed of, possibly along with your luggage. Always put the batteries in carry-on.

    HOA banning drones

    It will only take one successful attack, which will happen in the next few years. Have you flown on a commercial airline flight recently? Did you think back in the 1980s you'd be seeing the hassle and inconvenience that everyone has the pleasure of enduring? It only takes one.

    Counter drone is emerging business

    Spark Replacement the Mavic Mini

    It’s possible that there could be an issue in the DJI supply chain for components common to all of their models. But I think replacement models being announced is a more likely scenario. DJI is working on adding helicopter and airplane detection to its drones from all models released after...

    Spark Replacement the Mavic Mini

    Enjoy them while you have them. Eventually someone will weaponize one of these things, commit a violent act and consumer drones and RC aircraft will be banned entirely. That's why the FAA keeps adding more and more restrictions.

    iPad mini 2 options?

    A meaningless chart compiled not by actual performance measurements but by votes. LOL I use my Ipad Mini 2 everyday with the Spark and it works perfectly. Like any other device, don't load it up with a million games and other junk and you'll be fine. The Google Pixel also works flawlessly. IOS...

    iPad mini 2 options?

    for Ipad Mini, the Mini 2 or above is fine. All the intelligence in in the Spark itself and the ipad processor is more than capable. The problem with older Ipad variants is that you can't update the IOS and once some of the IOS APIs change and the applications can no longer be updated if the IOS...
