    Should you use @droneted for your repair?

    I'll second/third/fourth that... Ted's gotten me out of some good jams in the past! He repaired my P3P gimbal to perfection... can't thank him enough - the consummate pro!

    Couple from this morning

    Incorrect. In fact, flown correctly, he would only need to notify a heliport operator (NY Skyports) as long as he didn’t get within 400 feet of the Statue of Liberty. A Mavic 2 Zoom could do some great shots there. And even then, it’s possible to stay on the south side and not even notify...

    Droneted

    Glad you're on the road to recovery! I got very lucky a few weeks ago - tore my knee up pretty good but somehow did it in a way to avoid surgery.... rather than tear the ACL, I broke the attachment point off the bone instead. It's actually heal-able without surgery (amazingly enough!) -- so I...

    Mavic Pro for sale/ Sale Over

    Not sure what all went down in this thread before the moderators cleaned it up, but I need to jump in here and defend Ted for a second. He's a stand up guy that bailed me out of a bad situation on my P3P. I had a trip coming up and need for a new gimbal cable assembly and a few other parts...

    Disappointed with results using DJI Goggles and iPad Pro.

    Excellent suggestion! I had exactly this problem on a P3P with the HDMI module. Turned out the “locking bar” wasn’t locked down on the ribbon cable, causing the interference and dropouts. Locked it and problem solved!

    First crash (yes i am a noob, yes it was indoor testing)

    No need to be embarrassed or forgiven; just chalk it up to a learning lesson. Being indoors, you were likely in ATTI (non-GPS) mode. That's not nearly as stable as GPS-controlled flight, and would explain the "glide". You can't just let go of the stick and hover; it doesn't have the same...

    Top Speed P4P vs P4

    Fastest I've gotten the P4P in sport mode is 59.6mph. Obviously with a tailwind, but dang that's fast!

    P4P Flown with Litchi crashed into tree despite anticollision

    Sadly, it wasn't in free mode ... this is what DJI had to say verbatim: "unit succefusly avoided tree's directly infront of it, but crashed away from where the units obstacle avoidance could avoid the one with it crash. Units vision angle is limited, tree was directly infront but got grazed...

    P4P Flown with Litchi crashed into tree despite anticollision

    It wasn't Litchi, but my P4P was in Tapfly mode and flew head on right into a tree. Collision avoidance... didn't.

    long repair time at dji

    I'm waiting for shipping info to post on my P4P; it should be hopefully today. This sure does take a long time ... And this was WITH DJI Care Refresh. I hate to see what wait times are like without it .......

    long repair time at dji

    On a positive, I got my invoice last night. Makin' progress! Thankfully, my Mavic is unharmed, but I'm anxious to get the fleet queen (P4P) back in service. Looks like they're moving along nicely.

    long repair time at dji

    So I got an email that my P4P has been evaluated, and I should be getting an invoice in 2-3 days. Then, I can pay that, and then they'll begin work I guess. Slow process for sure. Glad I have a Mavic to get me by while the P4P is in the shop. Note that I do have DJI Care Refresh, so this is...
