    Confusing dji article

    Unless I am a total idiot, and misread the MANY postings from their (DJI) email, and the mass forums presence about said topic, they clearly stated that if you update to the latest firmware, and DJI go App, and then do you as you said, log in / register again, you're fine. If not, you then have...

    Confusing dji article

    Exactly, once an item is bought, they shouldn't be able / have the right to tell me what I MUST do in order to keep using the product I paid over $1000 for (I have a P4, P3P, and Inspire) each, or if I don't comply they'll cripple me? I'd rather sell them and build my own as I've done numerous...

    Confusing dji article

    This is exactly why my Phantoms and my Inspire sit at whatever update is RIGHT before they introduced GEO (I believe the Phantom is like 1.8.8 or something along those lines, can't recall) and this is exactly why I probably will no longer buy a DJI product. I have enjoyed my DJI products, there...

    Your Opinion Of This Police Harassment Of Drone Pilot:

    The driver eventually gave his license if you watched the video... which you probably did not? I watched this the other day, and what transpired was in fact illegal. The other fact here is that once the driver finally handed over ID because of the made up causes after police initially admitting...

    Ignorant People Make Me Wonder Why I Bother?

    No, it would have been a waste, ultimately it's my word against his. I did tell them what he said, and they logged it as a complaint, but without recorded proof there is nothing that could be done.

    Ignorant People Make Me Wonder Why I Bother?

    All those media sources about drone strikes, then invasion of privacy? They make local and national news headlines. Look at the guy that was trying to create a Kickstarter for growing organic lemons, who concocted a BS story about a "peeping" drone, and it ended up HE was the pilot of the...

    Ignorant People Make Me Wonder Why I Bother?

    I recently (a few months ago when it was warmer) was flying one of my mini quads in FPV, and as anyone knows, those things have directional cameras, and mine are tilted 30 degrees up for fast forward flight. Anyway, there is a field in front of my home that I have permission to fly on, and have...

    Battery life percentage

    I learned it's normal. the batteries are based on a number of cycles. They are set cycles (according to my research). These set cycles take away from the % as the number of charges goes up. It kind of reminds me of the limit HP used to put on their ink cartridges before getting sued and they had...

    P4 owner in trouble with the law......

    One thing I have to say after reading the story, and don't get me wrong, I do NOT condone this behavior as it makes the rest of us look just as guilt as he is. In fact i've been approached before by neighbors accusing me of invading their privacy when I don't even fly near houses, but up and...

    Man Accused of Flying Drone Above Anti-Trump Protest - Oh boy. This is all over my local news.

    I do have one question to add to all of this.. While flying over people isn't allowed, and while occupying airspace while the Helicopter is up isn't a good idea either... can anybody truly say that if they were close enough to almost strike a REAL helicopter with a phantom that the down thrust...

    [P4] Pixelating and lagging

    Yeah, I know some (Phantom 3?) go down to 2mbps, but it's the HD section and you have to choose "custom" channel instead of auto, and it will allow you to change that slider. Let us know if this solves it for you.

    [P4] Pixelating and lagging

    This was proven to be a transmission issue with a noisy RF area, and a "link" issue between the UAV and the RC. By lowering your video transmission rate to 4mbps or 2mbps, you will no long experience the lines / pink bars etc.

    DJI GO Compatible Tablets

    Well, I hate to say it, because I am a Linux / Android guy, but I have had NO issues with my iPad, and it works wonderfully. I cut my teeth on Apple, started using windows out of necessity for my line of work starting in the early 90's (1994 and on), but grew to love Linux and Unix due to...

    DJI GO Compatible Tablets

    The Nvidia Shield K1 is a great Android tablet capable of handling the DJI Go App (at least up to 2.8.1 from what I understand, no personal experience with newer), and is currently back in stock at Best Buy for $199 after being out for a long time. I couldn't recommend the Samsung Galaxy Tab A...
