I prefer to blame the bloated app issue on the completely unnecessary video editor included in the app. Leave the uploader if DJI wants to host flight videos, but there are plenty of free video editors already available. Slim the apps by dropping the editor. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G935A using...

I'm about to replace the upper and lower shells on my P3 due to growing stress fractures, but before I do, I'm painting the new shells black. This should make it easier to see during the day against the blue sky. From what I've read, if you're flying at night, the FAA requires that, "The drone...

I've had two close calls in Oklahoma with what I believe we're Mississippi Kites. Both times I had noticed them leisurly making their way toward my P3s and then suddenly making a direct pass. It wasn't until I watched the captured video later that I realized how close each bird actually came...
