    Beware your P4P 2.0 could be a dangerous good

    I had DHL do the same thing on bottle of cologne I bought in Kuwait. It sat in customs in Germany over a week before it was shipped to me in the USA. I asked why and was told by the seller that it was the alcohol content. Go figure.....

    How far?? And what happens if...

    You have the ability in the app to adjust the critical battery limit to below 10%. Mine was set to give a warning at 25% and auto land at 10%. You have limited maneuverability when the drone reaches its critical battery limit, but it will auto land no matter what you do. I could have returned...

    How far?? And what happens if...

    The signal strength on the remote controller was at 34% when Smart RTH kicked in. The battery was at about 60%. The worse thing that could have if the battery got too low is that I would have landed it in the field, climbed over the fence and retrieved it. That was the purpose of flying it over...

    How far?? And what happens if...

    I took my stock P3P out 3.41 miles (18,000) last weekend. I specifically flew it over farmland so ensure there was minimal interference because it was distance run. I was surprised I got that far since the most I had done in the past was about 2 miles. I was at about 34% signal strength on my...

    Inspect your P3 before flight!

    My P3P cracked almost in the same place on one arm on the top. I was just flying it normally and it cracked one day. The only thing I did differently was to change the original propellers to the ones sold on DJI's website that have the composite hub with gold stripes on the tip. I'm not sure...

    iPad Mini 4 $299 @ BestBuy

    I'm seriously thinking about getting in on this deal because I believe there will be a run on them if the rumors are true and Apple discontinues them. If that happens then getting one later will be harder and cost a lot more. Similar to the nVidia Shield tablet. It was $199.99 before it was...

    Greetings from San Antonio

    Hi, I would like to come out and fly my drone tomorrow. I flew my P3S yesterday morning at Kitty Hawk. There was nobody there so I had the whole place to myself. I can't make it for breakfast, but I can come by Heroes Stadium a little bit later. Let me know what time you will be there and...

    Greetings from San Antonio

    I live in the Alamo Heights area and am planning on flying this weekend. I have flown at Kitty Hawk multiple times so it is getting old. Would like to fly somewhere else. Open to suggestions.

    My first pic with my new P3 Standard

    Nice photo. I got in on the same deal from DJI/Newegg. It was delivered Friday. I updated the firmware last night, but I haven't had a chance to fly it yet.

    Needing Tips for Orientation Practice

    I bought a Syma X5C and practiced in front of my house until I got comfortable flying it. It's VERY easy to lose orientation flying it so you will get plenty of orientation practice. I went though 4 or 5 of them due to me hitting trees, power lines, mailboxes, etc, before I got it down...

    Tips for litchi

    The Litchi app works perfectly. I've used it at least a hundred times and it has never malfunctioned. I prefer it to the DJI Go app because it gives audio feedback during the mission. I lost contact with the drone one time during a way-point mission and it returned to home just like it was...

    LIPO on a plane

    I'm sure you would probably get away with placing the batteries in a ziplock bag. I just wanted to be safe rather than sorry. The last thing I wanted to have happen is to get to the airport, have customs give me a hard time about the batteries not being wrapped properly and refusing to let me...

    LIPO on a plane

    I just got back from Cancun about a month ago and did not have any problems bring my P3P with me. United allows one carry-on and a personal bag. I had the same carrying case as the OP. I took it on the plane with me as a carry on and placed my discharged batteries in a LIPO bag, with the metal...
