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!

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.

    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.

    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?

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.

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.
