New Flag Flying over the Santa Monica Conservatory in Tujunga CA
I was driving on Big Tujunga Canyon road when I spotted a new flag flying high up on the ridgeline. Even though it is very cold and windy, I needed to take a closer look. Enjoy!

I was asked by my neighbors to go fly up to a flag above the Big Tujunga Wash. I hope someone can leave a comment if they know what this flag is telling us. Thanks and Enjoy!
Good Riddance DJI’s GEOFENCING - Mini 3 Pro Altitude Test
Переглядів 1,4 тис.21 годину тому
I was unable to fly higher than 1,640 feet with my Mini 3 Pro. I am going to add a new Geo Zone Override in DJI's Fly Safe database for my Mini 3 Pro. I'll make the max altitude around 3,000 feet. Let's see if the altitude changes in the controller after the unlock of this Geo Zone in selected in the DJI Fly App.
Good Riddance DJI’s GEOFENCING - Apollo 11 Model Aircraft Field
Переглядів 18421 годину тому
DJI Flysafe database would not allow any DJI drone to fly at the Apollo 11 RC Field. Other drones could fly there with no issue. You needed to create a unlock for that zone in ourder to fly there. Now that geofencing has been removed, I wonder if my Mavic 3 and Mini 3 Pro can take off with no override.

Good Riddance DJI’s GEOFENCING - Altitude Test
Переглядів 1,3 тис.День тому
I for one am extreemly happy that DJI removed all of the GEO restrictions. The GEO zone I set up cost my Mavic 4 to spend a month in a bush on the side of a mountain. I know this may cause issues with people who fly their drones illegally. A drone is a tool just like a hammer. You can use a hammer to hammer nails or cause someone physical harm. The difference is who is holding the hammer.

Flew my Mavic 3 straight up from my driveway to get a shot of the smoke coming from the Eaton Fire. I wanted to go to the top of the ridge but I started getting a high wind warning. I hope everyone affected by the Eaton fire stays safe.

LA will never give up and rebuild herself 👊🏼🪽 The chaparral in the background that has recovered or is still from the Station Fire of 2009 shows that the greenery will have a new life and a tomorrow. 🌲🌱☀️
tight flight, boss
Thank you for the Hike I Didn't have to make.
very nice ....even with the wind ...great footage !!
A truly inspiring sight. 😍🥰
Yes it is
Drone look look like it weighs 300 gram
Wow!!! 👌👌👌👌🙏
Spectaculaire !!!
Thank you 🙏
nice flight there Rob
Thank you 🙏
very nice work ...thank you for sharing !!
You are welcome 🙏
The snow is very majestic above Tujunga, great views Bob 👍🏼🏔️!
Thank you 🙏
😍👍🙏
Thanks 🙏
Praise God for the rain and beautiful sunset! 🙏 Winds must've calmed down a bit too, nice! 🙏
God never disappoints 😊
This is a pretty glamorous view Bob! Keep these videos moving forward 👍🏼⛰️☀️
I really liked this one. You usually don’t have clouds in your videos. I’m glad you made use of them. Drone on Bob!
The clouds were a welcome change for me too!
yoo. earlier this month i tried flying in Anaheim but my area was engulfed with the no fly zone and I assumed it was because of the fires. Now it’s removed and displayed as “Enhanced-Warning Zone” and Im able to fly again in Anaheim. Great to know that the map is synced to the FAA.
Because of the theme parks, flying a drone is not allowed.
I can barely hear you over the music. If you ever try to edit anything again, you might want to drop the music 3db. (at least)
Thanks for your input
Just curious, why did you cover up the distance numbers?
NM I saw you answered that on a different video. I figured I knew why. Can't say as I blame you.
I cannot unlock Geofence. Does it require firmware update?
Yes
Maybe it means data point or dill point as part of a survey marker or a utility marker?
Thanks. I appreciate you guessing
Some dramatic clouds and smoke. It's beautiful but depressing too. I hope this craziness ends soon. I hope it's not someone starting them. If it is, I hope they'll be stopped. I remember last year that guy was seen rolling that burning car down a hill. So frustrating. All I can do is pray.
I hope so. I’m sad for all the people who lost their homes.
I don't know what it says but hang gliders have put flags in that spot for the past 50 years. I live in Riverwood and have seen them. They have to be replaced after fires. It used to be orange before. I think it is just to tell them the direction of the wind. They jump off the top of the mountains.
This makes sense. Thanks!
I might be saying "Don't Pass". Just a guess.
Could be. Thanks for your guess.
You have to import it after you’ve turned it on which you failed to do.
I did import it
Dang winds and geozones! ☹lol Oh well, I hope you'll get it sorted out with the altitude display on your transmitter anyway. Hang in there, Bro!
Thanks brother
Interesting place to have an RC field right south of the van nuys airport
Well if you are flying in the US, 400ft is still the FAA rule. People who fly illegally are the ones who end up causeing more anti-drone laws to be passed, screwing all of us who fly !!!
I never fly over 400 feet AGL. I just like flying up my local mountains.
political parasites will always make up what ever law they want regardless.
Sharing with the FAA! Congrats on breaking the law and posting it on the internet!
Disappointed that I have to unsubscribe. It was nice for awhile. Good luck to you. Good luck to all of us.
Sorry to see you leave. I used to be a Democrat for years until I saw how Democrats cancel anyone who thinks differently than they do. I hope this changes.
Wow!!!magnifique 😍😍
Thanks 🙏
FWIW, no indication that this works on a Mini 3 Pro or an Avata 2. After all the latest updates, they still max out at 500m above launch in the Safety setting. I did verify with the Avata 2 that I could submit a self defined region unlock request to DJI flysafe with a higher max altitude and if approved, that can be imported into the drone, and activated while in that zone. I used that one in the mountains here this weekend, up to 3000ft. When you say in the description, the "GEO zone I setup", that sounds like an unlocked zone. Are you sure that one is not still active, giving you this ability?
All my unlock zones were turned off
@@DroneFlyingwithUncleBob Must be a feature of the Mavic 4 then.
@@daemn420:47 The Mavic 3 and the Air 3, you could slide the max altitute to 3280ft. The Minis and the Avata you can only slide to 1640ft. In the Air 3 and Mavic 3, you would need to be outside an (1640ft altitude zone) to be able to climb to 3280. With the new geozone changes, I think those birds can now go 3280ft anywhere.
@@rubengarciajr7560 yeah i was wondering why my mavic 2 mini wouldnt go past the 1640 ft,im climbing a nearby mountain keeping AGL well below 400ft i was now hoping to get to the top after seeing that mavic 3 have 3280 after the update.Maybe more info will be released soon.
@ Gotcha, thanks. The Avata 2 can go higher, but need the self defined zone unlock to do so.
How do you see the drone from 5000 feet away? I can barely see my Mavic Air 2 with strobes at 400 feet.
you don't. you keep line of sight of the direction of your drone and watch the area around it. kinda hard to hit a plane when you know it's coming unlike the idiots in California that didn't watch and hit the waterbomber.
This is really cool. Do you think a mini 3 can do this?
I’m sure it can. Just make sure you stay under 400 feet above ground level.
@DroneFlyingwithUncleBob ok thank you!
I tested my Mini 3 pro and I was unable to fly above 1,640 feet. Video coming soon.
@@DroneFlyingwithUncleBob that's interesting, looks like the new geozone changes didn't remove the altitude limit.
@ the altitude limit was elevated for my Mavic 3. Normally, the max altitude was 1,640 feet. Sadly, my Mini 3 Pro’s altitude is still maxed out at 1,640 feet.
I think this is a very bad idea...there wil be more stupid things done with drones that will just make it even harder for us "normal", legal operators to enjoy the sport. I think DJI did this to annoy the Feds...
Autel drones have never had geo fencing. I personally am pleased. People who do bad things will continue to do bad things.
Beautiful view of the LA Mountains. You’ve got really good views of Tujunga. Cheers 🇺🇸⛰️
I am so blessed to live here
You ever tried flying to its Eastern peak neighbor, Mount Lukens?
Not yet.
Pretty sunrise and mountains. Cheers!
Thanks 🙏
@@DroneFlyingwithUncleBob You're welcome, my pleasure. 🙏
Drones are a menace
The Drone is an inanimate object...the stupid owners are the "menace"
And so are you
Thanks for sharing brother boy. Keep droning... G-day from down-under.
Thanks, cheers from up here!
Happy that you can use the reduced restrictions. Let's hope others won't abuse.
We can only hope.
Bravo!professional channel-))
Thanks!🙏
Awesome! 😎👍
Thank you! Cheers!
Hey, walked past your car on a walk today and saw the decal on it, so I thought I would check out your channel and decided to give you a follow. I live in the area and last week when the fire was burning I really wanted to get a better view but I don’t have a drone so it was really cool to see your channel and this video.
Someone posted this video in a comment on my channel about DJI removing their GEO service in the US. Think it would've saved your Mavic? Commenting as watching so maybe your video will answer my question. Just subbed, too!
Very peaceful- beautiful video, thank you Uncle Bob
The wildfire brought me here, lived in Tujunga from 1954 to 1962, last years in 7 hills, ET house was not built yet. A man named Mr. Deliban owned all the surrounding property. He had peacocks. It was not unusual for one or two to hang out in the yard. Pollywog hunting at the tiny dam, digging for fools gold on the hill. Saw one wildfire while living on the hill, contained quickly though. God bless you all and keep you safe. Thank you for posting this, it was great to see.
If one has large luggage that won't fit overhead, where does it go?
Once again a peek at my old house.
How far away is the fire? Where is the wind blowing towards? Last question, when you were landing I saw the drone heading towards the garage I assume. Did you move it or did the drone do the adjustment?
The Mavic 3 made a manual adjustment. The wind is blowing west.
Nice oncle 👌🖐🇨🇵
Thanks
