    Can you steal a drone from the air with another remote control or other technique?

    No. If RX/TX communication is cut, modified, fffff in any way the craft will RTH as programed.

    Camera going crazy half way into flight! P4

    This is a normal gimbal overload protection situation (a good thing). If by the wind and the way we fly (G force) causes the gimbal motors to overload because of higher amps needed to hold position for longer periods, it just shuts down and freaks us out. Land, restart and get back out there.

    Best Antenna

    I have both maxx uav itelite flat panel only and the Titan switch that is a boosted panel with cyclone or change over to boosted whips. As far as range for video goes since it's coming from the craft is close to the same for boosted or not. The boosted titan is a bit clearer but not by much...

    small crack on battery

    It must be about 2 years now that I glued cracks in the battery and the craft with Locktite 414 and all the cracks have not expanded all is solid. I tried other types of glues with not so good results but the 414 works very well with this plastic.

    Propeller guards - yay or nay?

    In the open no. When training a newbe yes! They may to tip the craft on take off or landing. It saved my P4 from tilling the lawn a few times.

    Crack in battery case

    Yea I have 2 of my 4 batteries with a crack, under the spring pushing on the case from the inside and pressing to hard on the tabs only makes it worse, so easy pressure when you take them out. I put Locktite 414 glue on a few cracks on my P4 and batteries and the cracks never came back! Tried a...

    Links for new Canadian rules effective June 1st 2019

    As far as I understand for a craft registration you have to be a Canadian citizen in order to register... Transport Canada has NO study guide, all the literature they list is about 600 pages worth! I passed my basic exam and like others said, wow many many questions that are not required...

    Crack

    I had pretty much the same crack on my P4 over one year ago. My first attempt to fix was a capillary type Locktite 420 glue (5cp) like water that did not hold very long just a couple of flights, then I glued with Locktite 414 (110cp) more like syrup, I made a very small bead of glue over the...

    Thought I would have a quiet flight then invaded by teens.

    Teens having fun and it was all in good tast. Nice to see this generation is not paranoide of drones.

    Mostly Phantom 4 footage of my trip to Iceland

    Beautiful, that's why I got a P4, to have a view you would not get from the ground. I would change a setting in GO if you want smoother panning (a bit rough at times) In the RC settings, slow down to the minimum EXP (I think it's something like .25) this will slow the stick input in the first...

    DJI security concerns

    Same here, Check my videos and they will have proof that Canadian trees hang out with other trees!...It's a party out there. As you fly further some trees are missing.....there at a lumber mill waiting to get a trim and a dressing and placed into a nice home. DJI app isn't any worse than the...

    RTH setting...very conservative!!

    Many of us fly at -20C and even lower because being Canadian if we don't fly in the cold we don't fly for 4 to 5 months a year. At -20C when I take off with warm batteries the internal battery temperature will rise into the low 40C range as I cruise around 30mph. The craft handles well in the...

    RTH setting...very conservative!!

    The 20% battery back home is a safety margin I try to maintain. At times I over compensate for wind and I get home a bit quicker than 20% so I fly around my yard a bit just for fun and at times just land at what ever % I got. I agree that landing at higher % reduces cycles and will extend...

    Lenovo Tablet

    GO 4 needs at least 2G ram, your Tab3 only has 1G and your S7 has 4G. GO4 is needy and thats is why I can't run it in my Samsung tab4.

    MINI DIN TO MINI DIN HDMI CABLE FSV2012

    John, I did a quick search and I have not found DIN to HDMI. You might have to go to mini DIN to USB (F) then from USB (M) to mini HDMI. not sure how well this would work but it's also not very expensive to try, all kinds of those on Amazon.
