Should delete the thread, has nothing to do with us, just a view into the new generation.

I agree ... there are ALWAYS freeky things that can happen, but you can ALWAYS cancel the RTH function and manually override and land the aircraft. I test my RTH every now and then to make sure it is working, and cancel as soon as I can see the aircraft as the GPS is not dead on and it will...

What did I miss here? Why would the Phantom crash at the boundary of the beginner level? Something else went wrong here. He coould of just powered down the remote and it would have came home

This is all BS anyway. With my P3 Pro I would have to be 15 feet above a pool chair to actually see clearly the person. And that would sound like a swarm of bumble-bees to the pool deck. Get a clue people. If I can see your wife's "stuff" at 400', you need a smaller wife! There are no zoom...

What a bunch of BS!! There is FAR more worries with bird strikes (ie; plane into the Hudson) than any drone. This was just an over-reaction to try and blame the drone world. Where exactly did the "drone" come from? However, they are right about terrorist loading some plastic explosive on a...

You actually CAN mount them on the side. I accidentally did this when I first got them and NO INSTRUCTIONS. Then I figured how to roll them in the mount correctly. SO my dumb mistake allows you to get them on the side as you wish. But the hanging wires are indeed interfering with radio...

I bought a set of these LED lights. They are fun for short range flight in the dark, but I get a lot of radio interference from the wires to the LED paralleling the antennas on the aircraft. No lost signal with them off, lost signal with them on. The good part is they are super easy to remove...

Not really. Been flying at model airfields for ages. There is a pecking order of people set to fly and allowing them the air when they are flying, taking your turn when they are down. We even had FREQUENCY FLAGS on our antennas so there was so interference in the pits with people in the air...

Update the aircraft, remove the SD card and delete the .bin file and re-insert the card. Then turn the aircraft back on and it will not find the ,bin file to update. I think their firmware has an issue not confirming the current firmware matches the .bin file on the SD Card.

No kidding on the visibility. I have a lot of distance issues flying by pilot view with the wide angle. You would have to be hovering at 15-20 feet to get a clear view of a person. Then you are violating their privacy. i have clipped a tree leaves on a high tree twice (and recovered) But I...

Thanks --- I did have a signal issue with the Pro Polar LED lights, so that is good to know

Wow, nice reference list, thanks. I was more interested in which ones work the best and affect the aircraft the least

I was flying the other day and way out there and my screen went blank white. Low and behold, very fast a white cloud was dropping in. I had to fly back totally by "instruments" on the DJI software. Yea, I could have used the "go home" feature, but that was too easy. I just switched to map...

I have seen this before from the PRODUCTION COMPANY recording the show live. I have seen now police using them, fire departments using them and people on a cruise ship using them. EVERYONE flies over people, including the aircraft over my house right now. Over people is a stupid statement...

That is pretty funny. Reminds me when I parked my Honda "Shadow" next to a group of Harley riders. THEY MOVED so they would not be parked next to a Jap Bike. LOL Honda went through a lot of work to make my gears crunch when I shift to sound like a Harley! Just ignore these idiots. He is...
