    (SOLD): DJI Phantom 3 Professional with XTRAS!! ($750)

    Hello everyone, I have recently purchased a Mavic Pro and decided to sell my DJI Phantom 3 Professional that I’ve used for recreational photography over the past year (approx.. 15 flights). Everything is in excellent condition, up to date with the latest firmware, and working perfectly. The...

    Just Returned Pro 4+

    In regards to FAA restrictions, they're actually looking to lift a few, allowing more freedom for pilots (may require remote pilot license). Big Changes Coming To Part 107 | Remote Pilot 101

    How to obtain a commercial license?

    Quick question for those who have already taken the test. How far in advance did you schedule your test?

    How to obtain a commercial license?

    I'm taking the online course offered by www.remotepilot101.com and it explains everything. It's full of useful information, and covers everything that's on the test. Yes, it costs $100 but it's so much better than trying to sort through all the YouTube videos, and trying to figure out if the...

    Mountain or gorge flying and 400 ft. ceiling question

    Oh, so if I'm a hobbyist, i can fly above populated areas, over an airport (heck, right over the runway), 20,000 feet up, right beside a commercial jet? Wow, why would anyone want to get certified if there are NO RULES for those who simply remain ignorant? No, sorry, that's not how it works...

    Mountain or gorge flying and 400 ft. ceiling question

    The general rule of thumb, or "recommendation" (don't want anyone's panties to get in a bunch), is to not fly within 5 miles of an airport and to remain below the 400ft recommended ceiling. This keeps you out of the way in most cases. Now, if you get the Part 107 license, you are free to work...

    Calling the Tower/Airport Owner

    This is correct. The term "recreational" refers to hobbyists. If you go for your part 107 license, you're then taught where you can or cannot go as a "commercial" pilot in command which will be much more specific. The 5 mile rule is for everyone else as a precaution to keep people who may not...

    I lost it.. :((

    Fly responsibly people. A drone falling from that height could have killed someone. Even if the drone wasn't registered (I doubt it was because they would have agreed to keep it within line of sight), law enforcement could have checked the forums and quickly found who recently lost a drone in...

    400 ft - Guideline?

    If you're in anything other than class G airspace, you just need permission from the surrounding airports that may have a ground level restriction or a shelf below 600ft. If you're in class G airspace, you're free to fly while following the rules (e.g. maintaining line of site, whether that's...

    With P4P out, Mavic is dead

    I was not one of those people, but I do remember when the Phantom first came out with the same camera as the Inspire. The natural progression of technology is that everything gets smaller over time. It's sort of like the smaller drones are getting the larger drones' hand-me-downs'. In any case...

    With P4P out, Mavic is dead

    I have a P3P and ordered a Mavic for portability. Will I buy a P4P? Nope. I'm going to wait because we should all know by now that the better camera and extra sensors will be added to the next version of the Mavic. The Phantom form factor just doesn't work for me. Every time I go out, I ask...

    When voltage goes yellow..

    Looking at this, the voltage for each cell dropped over time, which is normal. Once it drops below 3.55 (i think) it turns yellow, and below 3.50, it turns red, or sometimes shuts off (from some reports I've read). There's a setting that allows you to see the voltage on the main screen to...
