I know I don't need another drone, but man the new DJI Mavic 3 looks pretty amazing! This is DJI Mavic 3 A Journey Above

Hi. I need a hexacopter or any drone that is need to lift 25-30 any payload and it need to flight 8-9 minute with this payload. 5 – 10 km flight range with video transmitter is enough . Autopilot with altitude and avoidance radar are good options. I need a huge drone frame, I couldn’t find. I...

Do you think the Hubsan 502s is worth the extra $50 over the Hubsan 502e? On the 502s will the screen be viewable in the sun?

The 2018 winter Olympics feature an astounding 1,218 drone show. Think Lady gaga Superbowl show, but much bigger (record breaking actually). Just check out the video below! In addition, Intel will be feature a 300 drone show each day during the Olympics.

Well this is embarrassing... DJI left it's AWS credentials, private SSL, firmware keys and more publicly accessible for years! Looks like plenty of personal information was passed through the system. No idea if any attackers have taken advantage of this info, but it seems even the US government...

Pretty interesting idea on how to use drones to plant thousands of trees each day.

Today a federal appeals court has struck down the regulation requiring the public to register drones. It seems the US Circuit Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia found that the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) does not have the authority to regulate so-called "model aircraft."...

Hey guys, been out of the RC hobby for awhile but looking into the racing drone scene for fun..(mostly buggies and trucks) Can anyone point me to a fun/durable racer? Looking to spend under 500 for a RTF set-up. I've dug around online and have discovered many different racers but so many to...

Well we know pilots have a hard time using common sense on where to and where not to fly their drones but DJI is helping fix that issue. The DJI Geospatial Environment Online software already kept pilots from flying in sensitive areas (like the white house) but the update released today makes...

Police in Hartford, CT are looking to arm drones. During a testimony with lawmakers, Police argueed that armed drones would be an effective weapon for public safety. "We've had a report that somebody's going to fly a drone into an airplane, into an engine, or it's a weaponized drone,"...

I give up, all I see on pretty much a daily occurrence is idiots with drones, multi-copters, quads, whatever you want to call them, that uses them to do incredibly ignorant things. Like this story, where someone flies a drone within 30feet of a passenger jets final approach of about 500 feet...

These headlines no longer surprise me anymore, there are far to many pinheads out there that own a multi-rotor / drone of one kind or another. The latest is someone flying their drone over a submarine base... who really thinks this is a good idea? It's only a matter of time before these morons...

So you just bought your first multi-rotor and you're ready to go downtown and start recording things, maybe the college football game, or the burning building downtown, or just wherever you want to... well DON'T! Before you even put the batteries in your new mutli-rotor / drone be sure you read...

What, another yahoo gets in trouble for flying a drone? Say it ain't so! Sean Riddle was out flying his drone near the Empire State building in New York when he managed to crash it into the 40th floor side of the Empire State building. Sean then went and asked the security guards for help...

I think it's fair to say emergency personal are not fans of dangerous drone operators, between firefighters trying to shoot them down and now Dutch police are training eagles to take down drones...
