    Can you recommend another brand of quadcopter?

    The 3DRobitcs Iris+ looks pretty interesting.

    Low flying plane, near miss

    It looks like you are estimating the hypotenuse of a right triangle. Solving that for the actual vertical component, would make the airplane's altitude even less than 405 feet.

    Was the Crash at Roswell New Mexico really a Drone?

    Not to mention that of some billion planets we're the only one with life on it. We know this because the government told us so.

    Telemetry Issue

    I can confirm phantom connection cutting in and out result also. This intermittent connection is at relatively close range (less than 800 feet / 243 meters). However, I was flying in a relatively populated neighborhood, with lots of WiFi sources. Prior to the upgrade, my Phantom did not cut...

    Another upgrade????

    The DJI way: we may not do it right, but do it often. Go ahead with the new upgrade. It works fl-ahlessly.

    I'm on FW 1.08 and I don't plan to upgrade. Mistake?

    You don't need to use the updates. Things will remain as they were. By the way, is your Edsel still running ok?

    Gimble LEDs

    You mean "Chinese." Yellow means your beard trimmer needs calibration. Don't fly it around women until it acquires 6 or more satellites. Otherwise you will be in atti-boy mode, known to cause some loss of control, drifting, and unpredictable beard trimming.

    DJI App Home Base Issue

    I live close to an international airport (3.1 miles). When I work with cached maps at home, I can only zoom in "close" to where you could actually begin inserting waypoints, and then the app crashes the ground station feature! I have to go back to the camera screen, and let WiFi re-connect...

    Flew it in today's crazy weather with 50mph winds (Video)

    Re: Flew it in today's crazy weather with 50mph winds (Video With this video, it seems the phantom is very capable of maintaining position in winds gusting to way more than 25 mph. It would have been interesting to have seen it briefly switched to ATTI mode! Then switch back to GPS mode...
