LOL no but funny you ask. I saw that post on SA Drones and sent my father-in-law a screenshot. He is a white retiree in his 60s LOL. I asked him if he had something to tell my wife and I...

Thanks, wasn't aware the frame didn't extend to the motor mounts. I've included pictures of the crack. Most people say DJI replaces the shell or device and its only 10 months old so what do you think? Send it in?

Does this affect P4s the way it does P3s or is this cosmetic? I thought I read somewhere that the magnesium alloy frame is what the motors are mounted to but I'm not dismantling mine to find out. bought refurb last Thanksgiving, had to replace RC and just started flying again. I've noticed...

If you are on FB you should look for SA Drones, group of local enthusiasts. Of course, if you bought a mavic after this post then perhaps you already are a member?

Anyone know any "safe" places to fly in 78209? I recently moved and spent the last 6 weeks RMAing my RC (not charging issue) and now have a fully charged working remote...but no longer live on NW side of SA. Olmos Park? Anywhere? Thanks, badgenes

Wonder if you ever ran into my father in law, Mike McDonald? just curious, another Datapoint support engineer in SA...

ok, so it seems to only happen when I start the app with the a/c running. when the a/c is started after the app it doesn't prompt. guess its a bug, since the app crashed midflight and did that on restart of app. just tried closing the app and restarting it while running, same prompt.

I've updated to the latest firmware on aircraft and the controller. First flight on RMA remote and at the end I get prompted to "update data" (I don't recall the exact message at present), "connect your drone" via USB. Sounds like it wants me to firmware update, but I believe I am already at...

How is the performance and head tracking?

Did you ever get yours back? I sent mine in nearly 3 weeks ago, it was just changed to status "Verified" on July 28th. Based on your experience I am expecting to get it back in a month :(

US drone registry axed US drone registry axed Given the law used by the courts in this ruling states "no rule or regulation" may be promulgated regarding "model aircraft" by the FAA.....too bad I just moved 4 miles from an international airport lol I'm sure that no fly is still in effect...

filters or no?

careful, I quickly found out that one of my dogs is capable of bursts exceeding 36 mph followed by 6+ ft jumps :0 I have one video where you can see their shadows merge on the ground at ~ 40mph. Needless to say I've been much more circumspect when playing with the dogs with my P4! once that...

Right on Xenomorph. While there are always "bad" people in any line of work overall police encounters that go south are usually the fault of the citizen. Despite many encounters with police, one at 12 years old holding a shotgun on an intruder, one with 6 officers many years later pointing...

Amazing videography. After watching another of your videos my wife wants to do same, but she says we won't be casting for talent lol
