We had an apartment fire here last year and I drove out to check on it and have to admit it was tempting but then I looked at the residents standing there watching there living quarters burning an I thought to fly here now would be so disrespectful and unkind. I never gave the TFR a thought I...

I alway hand catch but with all the sensors it now getting harder to do, one has to play dodge the sensor or it runs away. :-)

I have had the P3s P4s P4A mavic pro and now mavic air. All the phantoms were great. The P4A was the best for image quality especially in low light. But they are not very portable especially if you do a lot of travel by motorcycle as I do. The MP and MA are perfect for this but the MP is poor in...

I hate that when it happens - mine are all set to auto start record so I never give it a thought.

Here's the thing on eBay - search any product the sort by highest first and there will almost always be something starting out at 40 grand or higher even if you just are looking for muffler belts. I paid 299 for my P3 2 year ago. Best is to buy the DJI refurbished as they are every bit as good...

why do they say near miss? a near collision is correct a near miss is a collision.

P4A is the same as the P4P except for lacking some sensors. Camera is awesome and this is a real step up from the P4.

I only use the go app for configuration and all my normal fights are done in litchi as the quads just perform better with litchi. Plus i don't get the daily update nag. I've said before I am not a fan of IOS but have 3 ipad mini 2 units that I use only on the drones and they work flawlessly. I...

I'm 67 and have lots of fun with the drones. I have crashed my P3 twice. repaired and sold it then got a p4 which I crashed and totaled once. Got a new one and in a short time sold it to buy a P4A which I did not crash. I just sold the Phantom and now have a Mavic Pro and Mavic Air. No more...

I went to Ace hardware an purchase a pack of torx drivers which encompass all the sizes you need. It's handy for all things electronic so worth the effort and expense $29 I think.

Yes remember the big box and the bag of gunpowder and the tray you had to hold over your head and ignite just at the right time?. That was something wasn't it?

I agree as I only carry my Mavic on the motorcycles for the same reasons as above. I normally pull a trailer on long trips but prefer to have the drone on the bike as the ride is smoother and less chance to damage the unit. The video was good and the music was OK and not distracting to me. I...

Now wait I could be wrong but it is not against any FAA rules nor DNR rules to fly in a state or federal park. What is not allowed is landing or launching in these areas. Only the FAA can control airspace not parks so you can technically do a fly over just like an airplane or helicopter just not...

I have the new props on both the mavic and P4. I think they are just fine and will continue to use them. They do just what they are intended to do.

It's the one in six rule - you need to learn this
