    it's illegal here to fly higher than 400 feet. glad to see you got your mavic back especially without any tragedies like a car accident where somebody was killed because of the quad crash landing in the nearby highway.

    • @montiraruba2831
      @montiraruba2831 6 лет назад +2

      In the US, only in controlled airspace. But outside in the desert or woods outside of airspace (Use your judgement and common sense) You can fly higher then 400 feet.

    Good people still in this world. Had you been close to me I'd gladly have hunted. I'd hope someone would bring one of my drones back. Luckily I use drone gps trackers on mine. You can activate beeping that helps find them unless underwater. Lol happy flying.

  • @dhansel4835
    @dhansel4835 6 лет назад +1

    I have several videos lately of their DJI Mavic Pro quad-copters loosing their minds and flying away. Is it a glitch in the software or is it operator problem (not doing a compass calibration) before they start flying?
    I still think DJI should have a beeping device so the operator can push a button on the controller and have the drone make a loud beep to direct the pilot to the craft.

    • @retro93277

    • @retro93277

      07siksi I bought aftermarket props from GEEK

    • @retro93277
      @retro93277  7 лет назад +1

      +AboxofMonsters yeah it looks like it snapped from the ring because the other side was intact and the metal pin was still there . Must have had a stress crack.

    I'm going to smear my drone with meat grease and have my 3 dogs find it around my house,then by rewarding them with treats they will always be on the look out for it when I say search,so if I lose it out somewhere, I'll have my dogs help me search for it.

    @russellschundler6559 6 лет назад

    Over 500’, way beyond VLOS. A total disregard of FAA rules for commercial pilots in command and safety guidelines for recreational pilots. Get with it. Most lost drones result from irresponsible long distance flying. You were lucky.

  • @sookiee7675
    @sookiee7675 7 лет назад +25

    you shouldn't be flying 700+feet in the sky. 500ft is max. your lucky to find it, just avoid flying so high

    • @retro93277
      @retro93277  7 лет назад +6

      Sookie Endo the max height limit is actually 400ft , but that's 400ft above the tallest structure. The windmills were above around 700-800 feet. So I was good to fly .

    • @urielgutierrez614
      @urielgutierrez614 7 лет назад +1

      500 meters is the limit. 400 feet is the law in U.S.

    • @peterhughes2091
      @peterhughes2091 7 лет назад +1

      Same in U.K. It may be 400 feet above the tallest structure but looking at the video it seems you weren't over the windmills at all (which in itself would have been rather irresponsible) so your using their height to justify yours seems incorrect! Glad you found the drone, I would take a lesson from the experience and stay lower. Safe flying. Peter

    • @retro93277
      @retro93277  7 лет назад +1

      Uriel Gutierrez FAA guideline state 400 ft above the tallest structure , not in general or else a plane could not fly close to those heights or they will hit the windmills

    • @peterhughes2091
      @peterhughes2091 7 лет назад +1

      Sookie Endo Sorry I misunderstood. I thought, looking at the video, you weren't actually over the windmills. It looked like you had cleared them and moved on but was still maintaining that very high altitude. My mistake. Safe flying. Peter
