Visiting Honesdale PA

Hi, I’m visiting the US and was wondering what is required for me to fly, just for fun. I understand that you have to register, but do I also have to register on some sort of national Hobby model aircraft site or just follow their rules? I’m assuming I can only register under section 336?

Yes, I’m happy with autopilot. There is almost nothing you can’t do with it, as long as you get time to clarify what shot is required. The great thing is it can be all set up before the drone is turned on, and ‘played’ to see if it does what you want. If after the shot you are not happy with one...

Just wondering if Autopilot would work? If I know the shot a wee bit in advance I can set it up with Autopilot. You can program the flight and/or the camera gimbal, so you can have the focus of your camera change mid shot from an actor to another subject.

Bought the Inspire 2 and love the craft, but part of the lure was the handle for the x5S. Hate not knowing what, if and when it might be a reality.

What about using a ballistic parachute? This would in theory, increase safety. Opale Parachutes - Kit for DJI Inspire 2 - Safetech ST60X
