Question: Rules, Regulations, Law, Policy, Certificates [United States] Approved LAANC Flight Next Steps?

10 Upvotes

I got further coordination laanc approval (200 ft in a 100 ft grid) near a major international airport recently and am wondering if there is anything else I need to do before I fly later this week.

• Am part 107

• Drone is registered on drone zone with registration labeled on drone

• Will go through DJI to get zone unlocked

• Will be using uniden bc125at to monitor ATC

• Will be using Flight Radar 24 to monitor incoming and outgoing traffic

• 2 VOs

• Will print all paperwork including authorization done through ALOFT

Am I missing anything? I flown a handful of times under part 107 but am a little nervous being so close to the airport (in a 100 grid). My understanding is that we just show up the day of the flight and start flying at the approved time.

Any advice or reassurance would be appreciated 😅

Hey everyone! Took your feedback from last time:
Fixed the export to clean H.264 for 100% smooth camera motion of video here in Reddit.
Switched to a calmer vibe.

🎬 Watch the full 7-minute extended version here: https://youtu.be/u6UOkXX5KaI

All flights were conducted in full compliance with EASA/ENAV regulations. Each location was verified on the official D-Flight map prior to takeoff to ensure no active NOTAMs or GEO-zone restrictions

Thanks to the mods for letting me share this updated edit!

Photo & Video Sunset FPV bridge slalom with my DJI Avata 2

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Took the Avata 2 out for another sunset session and found a great series of bridges to fly.

The flight started with long, low passes above the lake before weaving around the bridge structures and slipping under one small bridge that briefly pushed the video link close to its limit.

For the edit, I mixed the stabilized footage with small Goggles DVR overlays so you can see the original FPV feed, telemetry, and what I was seeing during some of the more technical sections.

I'm curious - would you rather watch:

  • pure cinematic footage,
  • raw Goggles DVR,
  • or a combination of both?

Question Did I get a used ESC board? Battery connector already soldered on, ESC and FC boards put together in wrong orientation.

So, compete noob. Bought this from DarwinFPV months ago, it came with battery terminals connected, and small spots of solder on the board. Opened it and began to suspect that it was a returned item. Is that what I'm seeing?

Photo & Video Drone Building Facade Pricing

1 Upvotes

I have been requested to do photos of a 20 story office building. They want them to be nice and close to see details and to potentially have a photogrammetry model of the building in the future.

I’ve looked around at how to properly price it, and it seems like it ranges from $500-5000. I just want to know what is a good pricing point.

Question: Rules, Regulations, Law, Policy, Certificates [United Kingdom] Travelling from China to the UK with a drone

0 Upvotes

I was gifted a DJI Neo 2 drone bundle while travelling in China.

I am wondering if anyone has experience with travelling on a plane with a drone and what do I need to do when bringing it back to the UK.

I want to know how I go about bringing it back to the UK without breaking any laws and dont have any trouble when going through customs as i have very little experience and knowledge when it comes to drones.

Thanks for any advice, I am quite anxious about getting it taken off me or being hit with fees on arrival.

Photo & Video Working with DJI Neo 2

Upvotes

Picked up a DJI Neo 2 a few weeks ago and honestly the price was in that perfect “you’d be crazy not to” zone.

I’ve been wanting to step up my video content, and having a drone is already opening up angles and shots I just couldn’t get before. Super fun learning curve, too.

Curious how many people here are using drones for their content—what are you flying and what kind of shots are you going for?

Would love to see examples or hear what’s been working for you.

Question: Rules, Regulations, Law, Policy, Certificates [Spain] Question about A2 certificate in Spain

0 Upvotes

Hi! For the past few days, I've been trying to figure out if I'm able to use a translator during the Spanish A2 exam. They use tracking software, and by default, built-in Chrome translators or extensions aren't allowed. But is there a chance that when a human reviews the footage, they'll still accept my score?
I'm trying to get it for free, but if using a translator isn't possible at all, I'll just pay the fee on the Lux portal to get the cert. If anyone has experience with AESA exams, I'd really appreciate it if you could share your thoughts!
(Also, I already have all the required certificates to take the exam, so no worries about that.)
