He was in visual contact at low altitude, he told me that his problem was he couldn't figure out the directional control. We were really unable to search because of the snow, maybe this spring we can walk in the general area and look. Chances are he has lost it.

Last week my neighbor approached me and asked if I could find his drone. Basically he wanted me to look for his new drone that he purchased at ****** using my drone. My neighbor is a nice person and would help anybody at any time, I cannot say enough about his character. I shortly found out that...

Getting those great shots and making them pop in post production is the fun part, going to get a print is a whole different skill set and at least for me the hardest and can get real expensive. Most likely what you see on your computer screen is not going to look the same as in print. If you use...

Received call from FAA, my airspace authorizations were approved. I submitted my request on the 22nd of Feb.

I purchased a P4 - Advanced. Prior to purchasing it I chatted with DJI to which they responded DJI has never made an Advanced model of the P4. I sent a couple emails to Amazon merchants and BuyDig.com (Beach Camera). The emails from Amazon gave me P4 camera specs. Even the model number was a...

Recreational vs commercial in controlled airspace. Does it really matter if things go wrong? I myself believe that safety should dictate every flight and flight planning as a drone pilot is paramount. Get a sectional and take the time to understand it. There is a lot of quality online education...

Just had my first experience with open box P4 (Advanced) with BUYDIG. I unpacked and did an inventory and found that the sd card was missing. I plugged the Intelligent battery into the charger and the battery would not take a charge. So I called the service department and the reply was send it...

I have been interested in drones for a couple years now after my nephew flew drones in the military. I have a pretty good rounded experience in aviation both as a pilot and mechanic. Logged my last hr as PIC in 2002. I passed the FAA Remote Pilot test and have been putting a couple hrs a day on...
