Thank you. That's exactly what I was looking for. I just didn't know whether the controller had enough power to power the transmitter or whether I would have needed an external battery to do that. I just didn't know whether the HDMI port in the controller had enough power

I know that you're going to see a lot of these agencies applying for a waiver to the rule. And, if they will open this up to outside consultants, it'll be like the drone pilots employment act of 2023 for florida.

Just wanted to add one more where we found a dog that was missing for 3 days. We were able to spot it, mark the position and send the GPS coordinates to a ground search team.

I think that there are going to be so many agencies filing for this exception that they're going to have to do something to amend the law. One of the issues that I run into is that, even though the law doesn't specifically state that they can't contract with an outside party using DJI equipment...

I've given up on working with Florida agencies at their point. The only drone that comes close the parrot anafi and the specs on it are not very impressive. The only reason I thought about getting the Autel is because it's not Geo restricted like dji's products. I am certainly not going to...

I am selling a brand new DJI m30t package with RC controller plus, the battery charging case and two batteries. This is a replacement for a drone that ended up in the water so it is brand new and it's not been used yet. I had already purchased another one before DJI agreed to replace it so now I...

I got an update from DJI today. They shipped my brand new (I think) M30t yesterday and I should have it by Monday. The total replacement cost of $900 and they paid shipping both ways. I wish that they would have done this under warranty but hey, it beats losing a $14k drone. Now, if anyone...

I am hoping that there is some allowance for independent contractors.

I don't know anything beyond what is in the legislation. I can tell you that the county fire department here had their attorney weigh in (I think the city or county attorney) and he said that using contractors is a gray area and as such, he advised them not to do it.

I tried out using an external monitor today with the M30t RC Plus controller. It worked. However, I could not get it to display the thermal image (from the thermal camera) on the external monitor. I can choose FPV only, Camera only or FPV/Camera. I selected camera and that allowed me to...

I'll do my best to answer here. It was on the receipt that I paid for it and it did come with a card that had the activation code on it. But the folks I bought it from, DroneNerds.com, down in Florida, also emailed me the code as well. If it doesn't say bound on the controller then it is not...

Doesn't look like there's been much activity on the search and rescue for them but I'll give it a try. I'm looking for an external monitor to connect to the RC controller so that while I'm up doing search and rescue work I can have additional folks watching a larger monitor that will contain...

So the most recent update is that DJI has agreed to bind the care plan retroactive to the date that I purchased the m30t. This means that they are going to honor the care plan and replace the bird for the deductible cost. I couldn't be more excited or grateful but they've agreed to do that...

The diver assumed that it would have drifted south a bit due to a very slight current. He looked in that area for about 45 minutes without any luck. So, I had him look in the exact location of the last GPS coordinates before I lost the drone and it was in that exact spot. So, I have to say...

Well, I finally recovered the M30t with the help of a professional diver. It's pretty much trashed. I did provide DJI with my purchase receipt, which shows that I did pay for the Enterprise Care Plan as well as the Care Plan code. Now, if I can just get them to honor the terms and conditions...
