I'm very confused about this 'flying over people'. If this is the case, how in the heck does anyone have the ability to take any aerial photos in suburban/urban areas. We all talk about 'countryside', 'oceans', 'lakes', nature. However, I'm trying to start a hobby-level side business with the...

I have both..how do i verify if i have 1.4?

Also, since posting this I was able to upgrade the controller as well so all firmware is up-to-date. The problem, I guess, was connecting to my Internet as that was the message I was getting.

But I've just upgraded all firmware and have the current ones. So if it was added in 1.4 and I'm beyond that version, why wouldn't it have carried over. Knowing that information is informative but still doesn't tell me HOW to get those features on my app. Do I go back and 'downgrade' to 1.4? I'm...

Firmware update . . . need help! I was able to upgrade the firmware on my P3P aircraft and batteries. However, when I try to update my controller...nothing. I've tried both ways...by having the Micro-SD card in the aircraft and using my USB to Microport cable...nothing. Tried putting the SD...

WOW! I think the music edit add is just as beautiful.

Couldn't agree more (about missing a car)...can't believe it took this many posts (including the pilot) to overlook this. IMHO, he should be GRATEFUL it hit ground...could you imagine the damage (to a vehicle), negative publicity and, assuredly, a lawsuit with possible criminal prosecution...

Call me crazy and I'm relatively new to drones (have made about a dozen flights now) but it seems there's a common denominator in all these high altitude crashes and fly-aways. As an outside looking in, I'm not sure what some of these drone pilots seem hooked with pushing their Phantoms to the...

Thanks...I like the toggling between live view and map. Now I get the point. I was only thinking of actual functions on the aircraft.

I have a P3P. I can't think of what I could use those 2 customizable buttons on the back of the transmitter for?...Any suggestions?

For some reason, my P3P simply climbs to infinity when i activate the RTH function. I've tried setting to 200, 250, 300 max altitude. At one point it went to 600' and still climbing. I took control of left stick climb to stop climbing and it then returned home from that altitude safely. It's...

I read stories of 1 mile, 2 miles, etc...On the DJI software it maxes out at 500m gor range...how are you all exceeding that?

Sorry, but these are legal devices that were intended just for this. If he has no liability insurance then he is an idiot. Driving cars, drunk drivers, texting and driving, etc, all daily risks. Perhaps licensing with a field test to see if you can control these might help.
