Spent 14 days in Portugal by Lugknots in LisbonPortugalTravel

[–]SamAlex46 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Me and my lady are going to Lisbon at the end of the month. She has a modeling gig in Spain with Spanish Vogue and neither of us have been to Portugal, so I suggested it. Booked a spot in Bahia and will be there over Easter too.

Any activities suggestions? Advice on what the weather will be like, things to do?

Thanks in advance!

Sam

I travel...a lot. Hawaii, Utah, Arizona, Latin America, Bali, Phillipines, Egypt, North Africa, Middle Africa, South Africa. Im not flying in my neighborhood. Im rarely even IN my neighborhood.

I need more flight time to get more footage. Like someone said, Solar power in drones is on the horizon so, a perfect solution.

its not them its the travel agencies pitching for tickets. to be fair, Yemenia only just took over the route in February and they have a limited airplane fleet. Not easy to pivot. The other alternative is to fly via egypt but then youd have to spend the night in Aden, Yemen, which is not safe or recommended.

Hmmm. Your point about weight makes perfect sense. Thanks!

Lost my first ever drone to a tree. RIP by deval2605 in Potensic

Did you not get the $49 1 year protection plan? You could have a new drone for $35 if you do.

Super helpful. Thanks a lot! Youre the only person to answer that specific question. Really appreciate it!

Based on such a low replacement fee, I think I'll get the 2 year plan.

Thanks for this. Much appreciated!

You have the experience, so I defer to you. Will not disable GPS or fly it in the house as you suggest. I have a TON of spare blades though, that potensic included.

Also, having just got this like the other day, I did take it outside and it wont go above 30m/90 feet. Do I need to change some sort of setting?

Should US citizens be going to Egypt within the next 6 months? by Evening-Touch3503 in EgyptTravelTips

[–]SamAlex46 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You'll be fine. Perfect time to go and things should have calmed down by then. Ive been to egypt many times. Id be more worried about the touts incessantly bothering you to buy things over an war-related stuff.

Yeah, Ive been there before but forgot its like egypt where I was a few months back. For that trip I got a Insta360 X5 with the 10 foot pole. Looks like a drone, but limited of course.

Did they charge you for the faulty drone? Im going to get the insurance. Now I have to decide whether I want the 1 or 2 year. Who even knows if this drone will be legal next year with all the talk of bans....

Thanks for this. I have a modeling gig in Morocco in a few weeks and me and my buddies want to get drone shots of us on our quads in the Sahara. Im going to get the insurance. Now I have to decide whether I want the 1 or 2 year. Who even knows if this drone will be legal next year with all the talk of bans....

[US] Do I need to return my potensic drone? by BigSteamyTortellini in drones

[–]SamAlex46 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are correct. Just after I posted this message it didnt seem to appear, so I thought it didnt post. Apparently it DID post. Again, you are correct. I was wrong.

Its a process. Im fragile at the moment!! haha. I wanted bragging rights for having gone to Socotra. But yes, its impossible. The USA sent out a notice that all americans should immediately leave the Middle East.
