Have you ever hit the "land" button accidentally? A significant part of my flying is over water so I was wondering if that would be an issue. I also hand land using the remote all of the time without using gesture mode or the landing slider. The spark will initially try to move up and away...

Here in Alaska, we seem to literally have an airport every other mile on the road system. I got around the notification requirement by getting my part 107 license. Though flying under 107 rules can be more restrictive (cannot fly in controlled airspace without a 3 month air space waiver...

Edited using LumaFusion using my iPad mini 4 which is also my RC screen. I wish I had polarized filters with me...

Very nice!

Still too scared to land the drone off my kayak while fishing, but trying to incorporate more drone shots into my videos. The first 30 seconds of this clip is from the Spark. I shot it in rocket mode than reversed the video. Tried the circle mode but it was just too windy and blowing the...

Wow. very nice! looks much warmer than in Alaska. lol.

Kenai River in Cooper Landing, AK.

Thanks! I probably should have said recreation/Hobby vs Part 107. I was thinking 101 applied in part to statements like this on FAA's site. Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) Frequently Asked Questions Does the new Small UAS Rule (part 107) apply to recreational UAS operations? Part 107 does...

Totally agree. I have so far been able to capture a few Sea Otters in my videos, They just seem to pop up near us. It's not like we are chasing them. It is the one reason I wish the Spark shot in 4K because the fairly wide angle lens means you need to be fairly close to a subject to really...

Nice. Did it seem bothered by the drone in anyway or did it just ignore it?

A few more Panorama shots stitched using Lightroom at Portage, AK.

Nice! I just drove by there when I went to Lake Louise.

Sunset photos I took last night: Panorama of 4 pics stitched together by Adobe Lightroom. And a Photo and video I had posted earlier but got deleted hopefully because of the spam clean up.

Royalty free music often doesn't mean "free music". But I want "free"royalty music. I have been playing around with Soundcloud. If you search under Creative Commons music, there are loads of music suitable for video background that not only can you use, you can monetize the video and not pay...

Without getting into whether its appropriate for DJI to enforce no fly zones, the OP's problem is the main reason I decided to get my part 107 drone certification. Now that I am certified, I dont need to call every airport. BUT there are other restrictions. It wasnt for commercial flying...
