I have been thinking about a quadcopter for a couple of years. Good thing I took my time as this is a
new thing for me and I just kept reading and learning. I joined both the MavicPilots and AutelPilots
forums to learn of the headaches and enjoyment from others preceeding me. I was surprised to
learn that Autel USA is only about 20 minutes from me.

Long story short, what pushed me to the Autel camp was the potential for camera swap out, the
geofencing was not restrictive like the DJI, and the better camera specs. There is still a bit of gambling
as firmware issues are still not quite dialed down perfectly. In the end, I got tired of reading while other
pilots were having fun and posting about it here and on Youtube.

I decided to go for the part 107 testing because with all this shelter-in-place time that I currently have,
I may as well put that to good use. The test should be relatively easy - I live about 15 minutes from
Boeing Field....and 30 minutes from Boeing Renton, both of which has site testing.

Okay, I'll begin paying more attention to your posts, now that I'm just kicking back awaiting B&H Photo
inventory to be replenished for my order (Evo II Pro 6k Rugged).

p.s. I piloted a drone toy over Mother's Day when I played with my brother's cheap toy drone. Buoyed
by the fact that I did not do a Top Gun crash and burn, it prompted me to move foreward even more.

Welcome to the Forum. I think you will enjoy your membership. There are many other members happy to provide assistance for any issues you may have, and those that may need information you bring. A lot of good information is already stored in existing threads.

Couple easy things:
1.) The search Icon is your friend. It's the magnifying glass near the upper right of the screen when you scroll all the way up. It can find many answers you will never find by yourself.
2.) Be aware that you won't always get a quick response. There are times when many other members are on line, and sometimes only a few. A response may not show up until the right person sees it.
3.) Be aware the forum is Global. If you are exchanging with a member on the other side of the world, response can get delayed and out of sequence due to a difference in local time.
4.) Although the Forum is global, the language is English. It is customary to translate other languages to English. Many members also include the original language post to help alleviate translation errors.
5.) Review the forum rules (on the bottom right). There are not too many, but it is important they are followed to keep the Forum a useful and happy place for everyone.

Also please ***READ BEFORE POSTING FOR HELP***
 
thanks for the welcome. I've already rec'd notice that the 6k bundle
is to arrive in a few days, a nice surprise as I wasn't expecting it for
another few weeks given the chatter on the forums.
