    FAA 333 Recommendation

    No, I haven't changed a thing. It is a pretty cut and dry application. Very close in content and format to other applications. The only thing I can think of is that I included two airframes. One of which has precedent in other applications (Sensefly EBee). I don't believe that the other...

    FAA 333 Recommendation

    I am wondering if anyone has a recommendation who has 333 experience. I turned in a 333 application on June 28th, 2015. I received my docket number on October 26th, 2015. Nearly 3 months later, still nothing. Understanding that they are swamped, I waited until last week to bug them via...

    Just posted my follow-me test run

    It looks like you were below the top of the light poles. Maybe just perspective throwing me off? If not, we're you pretty confident in avoiding them?

    DroneDeploy Real World Applications

    Keep us posted on how that goes. I appreciate your testing and sharing. Being an iOS user, my hands are a bit tied. Which stinks and makes me miss my P2/Ground Station combo. I know a good map planning software will come soon but we may have the next Phantom before whatever it is gets out of...

    Authorized Dealers (Amazon, Best Buy)

    I did. And got it in writing that they cover it as a camera. So, accidental damage is covered. Also had them confirm in writing that a crash would be accidental. What I also liked with the coverage is that batteries are covered.

    DroneDeploy Real World Applications

    Yeah, iOS beta would be great. It was out there at one time. I downloaded it but deleted it a while back bc I couldn't get it to connect.

    Worth the extended coverage?

    I've got it in writing from them. They will also currently honor a price match on the $100 drop Sears has going. DM me if you want the in writing confirmation.

    PC Ground Station for phantom 3?

    That's awesome news. Hadn't heard that. I assume it will not need to be a hardware add of any sort? Direct application from DJI?

    Authorized Dealers (Amazon, Best Buy)

    Bestbuy for the protection + rewards. Plus the price match. I took the $899 deal Sears has going right now on the P3A in yesterday and the gave me $100 back. Rewards is about 5% unless you are new to rewards then you can get 10% back to use towards something else.

    PC Ground Station for phantom 3?

    As a former P2 owner with Ground Station, I feel somewhat like I have downgraded with my P3A. Mapping with Ground Station/P2 wasn't ideal because a GoPro doesn't have Exif data but the features of the photogrammetry tool on my PC with my P2 blow anything yet available for the P3 out of the...
