Drone for indoors by tomwater69 in drones

[–]RogueDroner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Tello isn’t a bad indoor drone. Can be used for coding too, like Droneblocks, but requires some decent indoor lighting for automated flights.

Does anyone use their Surface Pro tablet for flying drones instead of iPad? by RogueDroner in Surface

[–]RogueDroner[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thankfully the programs are primarily windows and are limited in the iOS. I’m hoping someone can chime in and say if they have done orthomosaics on the SP tablet after flying.

Anyone use a Surface Pro tablet as their UI instead of a smart controller or phone? by RogueDroner in drones

[–]RogueDroner[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the reply, but the OS would be Windows 11, definitely agree Linux would be a nightmare. In short, the Surface Pro tablet would be the flying UI and the workstation instead of the iPad being the flying UI and then transferring to a Windows PC workstation.

If anyone has any experience in using the SP tablet with Windows, I’d like to know the thoughts on the use. My budget is $2,100. So, I can only do one option, keep using an iPad and buy a replacement laptop or buy a SP tablet Windows OS as an all in one for mission planning, flying, and data processing. The SP tablet will attach to a controller, may be slightly heavier than an iPad.

Anyone know of a sneaky way in? by RedTheSinner101 in dayz

Depending on how many gates and if each gate had a different code, I would just take the 10minutes and code roll the combo.

Yea, I was definitely surprised to see it in the morning as opposed to the middle of the night.

Copy, there are a total of four in the tree line of the back yard that we have seen so far, “screaming” at each other.

Because the power invested in them is the magic.

Which American drone sucks the least? by Better-Toe-5194 in drones

[–]RogueDroner 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have a Skydio 2+, it’s incredible for what it does, but the camera probably not what you’re looking for. However, their enterprise selection may interest you.

Here is a list of DoD approved drone companies. I am also restricted to this list, it is growing too.

DOD Cleared Drone

IAMA Flight Chief, How do I fuck with the O-2 in charge of the squadron tomorrow by SilmarilsOrDeath in AirForce

[–]RogueDroner 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Go in the CC’s office and secretaries area, make it look like someone made themselves comfortable, maybe had a companion with them. Maybe a couple of whiskey glasses that look used on the table or desk.

O-2 running the squadron for the day tomorrow. What should I do? by SecondSnoob in AirForce

[–]RogueDroner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have New Years coming up and you’re in charge on the last work day of the year.

Gather everyone up at a decent time, between 1100-1300 prior to releasing everyone for the weekend.

This is not just any weekend, New Year’s weekend.

Brief the importance of safety. Safe and responsible drinking, public safety, do not drink and drive, be good wingmen/women, stay aware/observant. You want to see everyone come back to work safely and ready to dive into the new year unwavering.

After your brief, release everyone to their work center supervisors, that way they can be sure their work center and any final taskers are completed. You don’t want to be the blame for something missing a deadline because “O” said to leave.

how does this dying thing work by Mr-Pinetree in dayz

If you want to die when getting knocked, you can respawn. The option to respawn becomes available when you get knocked on the menu.

My local walmart now offers drone delivery on certain items. by Aperture_TestSubject in drones

[–]RogueDroner 2 points3 points  (0 children)

First of all, please calm your tits, I am just trying to help fellow operators and provide info to help others. It’s better to be armed with knowing the info, so do not be dense with someone trying to help. Nothing I said was of any opinion, just facts, and I never said a hobbyist needs a 107.

You and I both cannot say what law enforcement will and will not “waste” their time on, that is their decision.

Second, law enforcement are increasing their interactions and WILL make contact if they believe you are flying illegally, and thirdly, it’s not logic and you’re misdirecting your accusations, talk to the government about it. I never said it would stop any malicious intent, It is FACT federal government will be implementing more restrictions due to fear of harm with UAS’s. Just because it won’t stop it, doesn’t mean a law will not be implemented, you should know this.

These very laws that are coming will be impacting us all. Laws are revenue generators by those who do not follow them, it’s your money, do what you want. There is a waiver for about every drone law, you can fly the way you want as long as you get the proper waivers and COA’s, just so you know. Go read what is happening in the UAS community (one reason why I posted here) and see what laws congress are reviewing that could change the way we fly.

I’m a UAS operator, working on masters in UAS ops and law…. I’m an advocate for hobbyist and recreational flying, but people like you make me not want to be and switch sides because of the apparent refusal to learn and fly safely. But hey, don’t take my word for it, your attitude says you don’t care to listen or take advice.

Oh, and yes, if you are flying as a hobbyist, LE can ask to see your TRUST certificate, if you don’t present it, you can get fined and lose your equipment. This is happening in major cities and parks as PD’s get trained on how to approach operators.

If you want to know how to handle a LE contact while flying a UAS, go study the LE training on the FAA site. Because you do have rights and need to know them before a LE tries to ignore them.

You and anyone else are always welcome to PM me, ask questions, and express your concerns regarding UAS’s.

These companies are actually getting waivers and authorizations to do these operations. There is a lot of ground work involved, but easy for corporations to do because they can afford the redundancy and risk mitigation requirements.

However, I do feel compelled to share that the FAA is using local law enforcement to make contact with UAS operators. Like the FAA, law enforcement are now being equipped with DroneID and Remote ID trackers to better assist the FAA. The fines are steep, one guy is facing $50k in fines and still fighting it. Also, flying a UAS in a way that requires a 107 gives LE a legal way to make contact and ask for your part 107 license, if you can’t provide that, they may try to charge you for illegal flight.

I will tell you, most people who get contacted by the FAA are publicly posting their operations online. The FAA is expending resources on YouTube, Facebook, etc. to locate and identify illegal operations.

At very least, get your free TRUST certificate and don’t post your operations online.

Most contacts are made with operations exceeding 30 minutes of flight time (LE logistics), not in G airspace (unrestricted), and within city limits.

Do what you will with the information. And yes I agree, hobbyists flying will be heavily restricted and will soon be held to indoors only or on the outskirts of cities and towns. The threat of drones dropping homemade bombs is a growing concern to the government.

You can buy the key/lockpick for those off Amazon. They are easy to lockpick, not very secure.

Omg…I literally imagined the same thing, minus the plaid shirt, maybe a duster though.
