This was on my bucket list from about two years ago after purchasing the course. After two years and staring retirement I finally have the time to put a check mark on this one. I used the Pilot Institute Part 107 Made Easy as my study guide and glad I did as it helped me achieve a 95% score on my Remote Pilot - Knowledge Test exam. I would highly recommend Pilot Institute and Greg. I studied about nine days and watched all the videos at least twice, worked with all the cheat sheets, app and listened to all the audio reviews. I know one question was about how many miles is there across the outer shelf of a Class B airspace and I did not remember the answer but, I did remember Greg mentioning that every dash on the longitude and latitude lines are one mile. I looked in the book (FAA-CT-8080-2H) what I call my somewhat of a cheater book and looked up a Class B airport and counted the dash and found my answer. I knew the test is not going to be easy so I needed all the help I could get! Hope you enjoyed the video and if you did hit the 👍 like button, subscribe, and leave a comment 🙂 if you want.

A little hike on the new Minot Outdoor Recreation Area walking path. A Very nice walking path and a coulee to hike through as well. Summer is almost here in North Dakota. # shorts

A little hike on the new Minot Outdoor Recreation Area walking path near Green Thumb to check it out. A Very nice walking path and a coulee to hike through as well. It was too muddy to walk in the coulee on this day as it had rained the night before. The ducks and duckling photos were at a little pond at the end of our street. When I see green grass, trees with leaves, flowers bring planted and blooming, as well as warmer temperatures, along with other thing and of course the little ducklings and goslings out and about, I know Summer is coming. 😎 Thanks for watching, Dave & Jo Hope you enjoyed the video and if you did hit the 👍 like button, subscribe, and leave a comment 🙂 if you want.

Note: This video was uploaded to my personal account about nine months ago and for some reason I did not get it upload to this channel. Better late than never!! One of the reasons for living here in North Dakota are the Summers. Last year GREEN foliage was some of the nicest we have had in years around here. This is a video with a few pics of the nice and green Summer we had last year. It looks like with the rain we are getting this Spring we may be in for a repeat. 🙂👍 Video/Pics are from: NW Minot, Gassman Coulee, Trestle Railroad Bridge, South Minot by Walmart and South Prairie. Hope you enjoy and Have a Great ND Day!! Thanks, Dave & Jo Credits: DJI Mini 3 Pro Filmora 12

This is the gimbal issue I am having with my DJI Mini 3 Pro. Please let me know it you're having or not having this issue. Thank you # shorts

Firmware Update 01.00.0310 maybe a new update but, I believe it is just for the drones that are having this issue: Unable to take off - Code 30064. I feel the issue was all started with the new DJI Assistant 2 (Consumer Drones Series) software update. After installing the software, it updated my firmware on the Mini 3 Pro and that is when the trouble began. 🙂 One more thing from the email I received from DJI, it reads as follows: The optimized firmware will be directly sent to the DJI Fly App and not to your personal email. The recommendation of our engineers is to open the APP to check the new firmware after connecting to the network. The firmware version should be v01.00.03.10.

Autumn or Fall foliage came on quick this year, and is turning fast. I was able to get out and get in some footage of the 2022 autumn colors before it all turns. I went back to my hometown (Sawyer) and took in some of the Fall colors from around that area, along Highway 52 and the Souris River Valley. Here are some links to different web sites on the history of Sawyer, ND. https://ldsgenealogy.com/ND/Sawyer.htm https://www.bing.com/images/search?q=Sawyer+ND&form=RESTAB&first=1&tsc=ImageHoverTitle https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sawyer,_North_Dakota Hope you enjoy watching this video and don't forget to hit the 👍 like button, subscribe, and leave a comment 🙂 if you want.

A little walk through the great outdoors in Northwest Minot. Some of the foliage is just starting to turn. I was also able to get a bird's eye view of the new walking park just North of Green Thumb.

This one took some time to figure out! Now that I know what is causing it the big question is how to get it fixed. DJI seems to have no idea at this point on how to fix it. This may not be a big deal I don't know but it would be nice to know if this is correct or if we need a firmware update or something to fix it. If other DJI Mini 3 Pro owner are having the same issue, then we can at least ask DJI for an answer or a fix. Please leave any comments you have about this below, I guess I just what to know if it's an isolated issue with my drone or not.

This is a real flight time test with the new DJI Mini 3 Pro between the 249g and Plus batteries. They don't get that close to their advertised times of 34 mins (249g) and 47 mins (Plus). This test is around what I usually get when flying the Mini 3 Pro. ** This is a complaint, DJI Please give us RC controller owners something better then 720 resolutions when using screen shots, 1080 or better Please!! I'm sure you can do it. ** It was a nice day and the coyote made it interesting as well. One more thing, I had to send in my Mini 3 Pro in to DJI because a twig flew in front of a prop, Ha Ha. The drone hit the ground and messed up the gimbal in cine mode only. It sure is nice to have the DJI Care Refresh in cases like this. 0:00 I Have a New Subscriber Maybe!! 0:45 Start the Time Test of the 249g Battery 3:57 Results of the 249g Battery Time Test 4:20 Start the Time Test of the Plus Battery 5:14 Hyperlapse 6:24 Part of a Master Shot 6:41 Results of the Plus Battery 7:09 Ending Hope you found this of interest to you and if you did don't forget to hit the 👍 like button, subscribe, and leave a comment 🙂 if you want.

For our Anniversary this year, we just stayed in town and hung out. It was a beautiful day, so we decided to go through the Woodland Trails and Stopped by Oak Park. Lots of geese enjoying the day! We also went to the Roosevelt Park Zoo. Minot's Roosevelt Park Zoo is quite impressive. We spent most of your time watching the young Amur Tiger Cubs and what a fun time that was.

This video is from Friday after the blizzard & Saturday the day we finally were able to get out to pick up a few things before the Sunday snowstorm. Being a nice sunny day, I decided to grab my drone and camera, and this is some of what I came up with. These five days the 12th - 17th were nearly 10 times the average snowfall for April. Here is a link to, This US town just picked up 4 feet of snow in less than a week from Accuweather.com: https://www.accuweather.com/en/winter-weather/minot-north-dakota-picked-up-4-feet-of-snow-in-less-than-a-week/1174751 Hope you enjoy watching this video and don't forget to hit the 👍 like button, subscribe, and leave a comment 🙂 if you want.

This is not a drone video even though I wish I could be flying my drone right now, need to wait for the street to open up first. Here is my time-lapse video from the Historic Spring 2022 blizzard! With 36" of snow and 4 -7" more possibly coming on Sunday, this is a historic event for this time of year. This storm has been hard on people, livestock and wildlife. Let's hope this is the last one for a long time! Hope you enjoy the video. Hope you enjoy watching this video and don't forget to hit the 👍 like button, subscribe, and leave a comment 🙂 if you want.

This is the Time-lapse from the camera I had in the basement but had to stop because the snow drift got too high on the window. I do have my Action cam doing a time-lapse on the main floor and hoping that will work through the whole storm.

This Video is all about the steps I go through before taking my drones out to fly and right after taking off with them. I know this may or may not be what some will do before their first flight of the day, but it works for me. Hoping this will help in some way with the new drone pilots in this hobby and to better understand some of the many regulations & safety rules that are out there.

This video is all about the snow cover we have had so far this Winter in central North Dakota. Living here all of my life we see it most of the time as cold and white or boring. But it can be fun, pretty and may I say relaxing at times. This year we have had enough snow to cover everything outside in white, which makes it nice and wintery instead of brown and ugly!
