Welcome to the forum.

These pre-orders are not sanctioned by Autel. These dealers are taking it upon themselves to offer you a place in line if it makes it to production. If you do a preorder be sure it is a reputable company that will refund you if it comes to that. B&H would be a reputable company.

Just found this - Farewell DJI Spark - sUAS News - The Business of Drones I don't see any discount pricing, still $400. The article seems to be false, time will tell.

Did it say they were stopping production? It is a good entry level seller. They were on sale at the holidays but all the drones were. Do you have a link? I am not disagreeing with you, just very surprised to hear.

I would consider a model that will have support. DJI is currently one of the only manufacturers that you can still get parts and batteries for older models. The parts may be third-party parts, but they are out there. Also the DJI products have a large selection of third-party apps. Customer...

Whoops, corrected. :oops:

The lawsuits allege that, during the Class Period, defendants made false and misleading statements and/or omitted material adverse information regarding GoPro’s business and prospects. Specifically, it is alleged that the Company failed to disclose that demand for GoPro products had dramatically...

Well, they tried. It is too bad as we need all the competition we can get.

I prefer DJI products. I have owned several and they are rock solid. My Phantom2 uses my GoPro in its ZenMuse gimbal. I also own an Autel X-Star Premium. I used to build my own years ago but modern UAV's come with so much packed in them for a small price in comparison to the tech. As it stands...

I have used Itelite antenna on drones in the past and still do. They make a quality product. I have not seen any reports from Karma owners yet.

After more digging on the FAA site, I see the waiver process which puts you in 107 territory. AMA has a slightly different set of rules, I should have been clearer and I believe I did mix up some specifics. Thank you for pointing it out. Waivers are needed for flights over 400' which puts you...

I like to use the "Hover" app.( Hover - an app for Drone Enthusiasts ) to check the area pre-flight. If your flight will be in a 5 mile airport ring you click on it and it will give you the name and number (if there is one) to call (if there is no number you can fly with caution). To be clear...

If you are in the USA this information is not exactly correct. 400' is the recommended safe ceiling (manned, fixed-wing aircraft lower limit is 500', helicopters are less restricted). That being said, AMA members, for example, can fly over 400', or at night as hobby fliers without breaking any...

Many drones can exceed 400' in the USA but that is the hobby ceiling height as per the FAA. Just because it can go higher than 400' doesn't mean you should do so but in some cases it is OK, like flying up a mountain where you will likely be much higher than 400'. Liken it to automobiles that can...
