Yes macoman, I saw the little red flag next to the USA flag on their website. But this company doesn't have you ship your problem drones to/from China for repair or replacement. And what about the DJI company wide ban of their drones from our military? Not happening at Autel, just DJI. It...

Meta4, on the contrary, YOUR confidence in a Chinese company dictating where you can and cannot fly YOUR drone that YOU paid for in our own country is what any intelligent person would say is confidence misplaced. You may condone and continue to accept the flight limitations placed on your...

XSP's and P4P's look similar but are no where near the same UAV. Can you tell the difference between a Boeing and an AIRBUS? Boeing doesn't sue Airbus because their aircraft has two engines, similar shaped winglets, flaps, and ailerons. I didn't call the DJI lawsuit "frivolous", the District...

Meta4, Thanks for your post. I mostly agree with your opinion(s) about DJI's P4P but Autel Robotics has certainly come a long way in the very short time they have been building UAV's. While I have no doubt the vast majority of P4P owners are not having issues with their P4P, I also doubt that...

Ah well, that makes much better sense. I am itching' to pull the trigger here...

I agree. If it ain't broke, it don't need fixin'!!!

Atlas Dynamics looks quite interesting but nothing immediate to buy/fly. The best drones of 2017 listed the Autel X-Star Premium as #4 (which was pleasing to know) but listed a con as "no live stream". What? How do you know what you're filming if you have no live feed to see what the camera...

Autel Robotics has a FLIR camera available that mounts to their removable camera/gimbal on their X-Star Premium UAV. www.autelrobotics.com

I have cancelled my order for a new P4P due to the many problems associated with their latest firmware AND primarily DJI's attempts to dictate where we can and cannot fly. Just background info here, I don't wish to debate my decision… I came across the Autel X-Star Premium on Amazon's website...

FlashBuddy, after the first few their all good but my favs are Patron Silver (or Patron Platinum if someone else is buying) or my 2nd best and more readily found is 1800. I limit my drinking to the occasional margarita at fine restaurants while dining out with the wife. Mostly it's having a...

It sounds like your "wealth of personal knowledge flying Phantoms" doesn't include utilizing any extended range controllers or you might have commented differently. While you may have flown your little Phantoms far and wide in the last few years, I think with my own 27,000 + hours and 35 years...

For the same reason I upgrade to the better tequila when I order a margarita. I can afford it and want the best (within reason). All too often, interference is an unknown factor until it is too late and I wouldn't want to lose my new drone. I'm looking for someone that may know from...

I'm speaking specifically what Drone World promotes with regard the FireBridge Technology Remote: Signal Booster Range Extender System Upgrade

Newbee drone pilot here. Just ordered my 1st Phantom 4 Pro today and will have to wait an extra week for the range extender modification to be preformed by (due to forum rules, maybe I shouldn't say). Are these range extender modifications worth the $300-$400 the drone web stores are promoting?
