He was well up the side of that mountain. I could go to the top of Everest and fly my phantom back to the level ground and say look I'm only at 20 feet when in fact I'd be several thousand metres above the ground.

That's rubbishy. I live near hills and often see planes lower than where I am on the side of the hill as they fly down the valley. Okay not a 737 but light aircraft and the airforce do on a regular basis. Point is it was clearly several hundred metres above the ground

Ah unlucky then. Mine was always tilted one direction only.

Once i altered mine by 2.1 degrees in the app its been fine and level.

Yeah i took mine to a suspension bridge and checked IMU before take off. Instead of the normal 1499 I was reading 1150 lol

He was way over 400 feet though. Notice he took off from a mountain side. The height on the app is the height above your take off point, not to ground. When he was flying over the lake i estimate he was flying at more like 400m not 400 feet. So illegal (in most countries) and dangerous to...

Only issue was very fist time it crashed. Ever since then its been fine. Does have me concerned that it might crash in flight though now :(

Amazing how time moves on. In 2014 DJI actually used this guys footage filming a football match in their advertising to encourage people to buy them.

Occasionly talk into your wrist saying things like "suspect is in view, cannot see whether he has the explosives on him or not yet"

Two hopes of that working at my place................Bob and No.

This. I find that with the screen set to maximum brightness manually and a hood I can see my ipad fine,.

This. For the price DJI want for just the drone you can buy a complete phantom from a reputable reseller.

Its batteries which limit the range. Ive done a 6 miles trip (3 miles out and back) with the normal stock antenna and all was perfect. Was past the 30% battery warning when i landed. I suspect with height I could go much much further but I would never get the bird back so whats the point?

Fantastic camera but comes at a price. I would love to own one and sets a new level for aerial photography

Same here. Really impressed. My third flight was 3 miles along a reservoir and back so totally over water! Loving it
