    Using Phantom during fireworks

    If we are going to look at it logically, then please re-read my reply, as I did not say I would be ok with flying over a crowd. Sent from my iPad using PhantomPilots mobile app

    Using Phantom during fireworks

    Jeremiah, I am not sure why you would think I drive a 3000lb vehicle at 70 mph because I am concerned about someone launching a Phantom with 3yr olds playing 6-8' away. While I would be concerned about someone "flying" a phantom over a crowd of literally 1,000 + people, I would not have...

    Using Phantom during fireworks

    I attended a 4th of July fireworks event on Monday. As expected the park was packed- thousands of people enjoying food stands, face painting, and even some kids rides. As it approached 9pm everyone gathered for the fireworks, and I see some guy going through the collaboration of his Phantom...

    Interesting accessory

    I came across this interesting Kickstarter campaign while surfing through Kickstarter tonight. It allows you to land your drone on water and other terrains. WaterStrider: Perfect Footage. Confident Landings. Anywhere. I'm not sure if they are going to meet their pledge goal, but if they do...

    DJI Phantom 4 CARE

    You can add DJI Care after the purchase. I was just in the process of purchasing it, and if you purchase it within 48hrs of activating your phantom it's really simple (although I am confused my they want to charge me another $10 for shipping for a warranty??). If you activated your P4 more...

    Has anyone purchased any P4 Accessories, like Gimbal guard, promp guards, Skins or anything like that. I haven't found anyone selling accessories for the P4 yet. Sent from my iPad using PhantomPilots mobile app

    How much did you sell your P3 for?

    $699 for P4A, with an extra battery, the DJI Hard case, gimbal protector, lens cover and prop protectors. P4A was only 2 months old but had a small crack on the shell. Sold on eBay. Cost my $60 to ship it though.

    Phantom 4 malfunction and loss

    I am glad you shared your candid opinion on this. It has made me realize how I have a lot to learn. I rely heavily on GPS, and now Tap tap fly, and need to spend some time with how to control it manually.

    General P3A Health

    I understand you don't think I was deliberately tying to mislead someone, I am just surprised (and a little disappointed) there doesn't appear to be a diagnostic tool to check my overall P3A health. At least not that I know of.

    P4/Apple

    "Pre-orders from Apple will be shipped out on March 15th, just like from DJI" I think you meant to say Apple orders will not be delivered before March 15th. Because my order from Apple is being delivered tomorrow.

    Who will be the first PhantomPilots member to have the P4?

    Mine is scheduled to be delivered Tomorrow (Tuesday March 15). I ordered it via a special portal for Apple Employees, so I am not sure if that impacting the shipping timeframe or not. I order it a couple days ago.

    General P3A Health

    OK, Serious question. I have flown my P3A 4-5 times since the crack and it has performed flawlessly. I haven't shipped it to the buyer yet, is there something else I should do to make sure the crash didn't cause another problem? 100% positive feedback on Ebay isn't easy to earn, and I have...
