    Follow Me Mode Question. How Accurate does it keep it's position?

    You know, I thought about that. The tallest trees that border the road in my neighborhood are 140 feet. I hate to be that high and not capture the action.

    Follow Me Mode Question. How Accurate does it keep it's position?

    Hey guys. I have a Follow Me mode questions for the P3A. I am planning on plowing snow in my neighborhood Saturday. It's our first real snow here in the south this season (8-12 inches). Our neighborhood street is straight with about 30 feet of tree clearance from the center of the road. If I...

    IMPORTANT: DJI Go app 2.50/2.51 enables GEO functionality

    If you use other app to control your P3 like AutoPilot or Litchi, do they bypass this Geofencing that has come out with this new DJI 2.5 release? I have seriously been considering switching to the iOs Autopilot app the more I learn about it. So many more features than the DJI Go app. I ask...

    Devastated, flight number 124, Phantom 3 at the bottom of the ocean

    I certainly agree with you. There must have been hundreds of birds that lifted off as he passed over. They when he turned back is when something happened. I'm sorry man. I think this guy may be on to something. Bird strike is my guess.

    Advanced Or 4K

    Oh, by the way, if you can't tell from my post, P3 Advanced all the way. I'm actually down grading from the P3 Pro. I just don't see the value for the 4k camera. Unless I plan on upgrading all my TV's and Macbook pro, I will never see the difference in video quality anyway. To be honest, 90% of...

    Rules for Flying Around Small, Non-Control Tower Airports or Grass Strips?

    Does the no fly rules apply to small, non-control tower local airports or grass strips? I have one near me, about 3 miles away that is very rarely even used. It's not even a class D airport. I understand the rules that apply to Class C and B airports and that makes sense. My question concerns...
