    Take off + land at different altitudes?

    Thanks Zerone, that is reassuring! One additional thought: are you able to auto-land without going back to the home point? For example, lets say I take off at point A, fly 20 meters to point B and hover 20 meters above point B... if I press Autoland, will it be able to 1) land at point B...

    Take off + land at different altitudes?

    Hi everyone, I was just wondering - is there anything wrong with taking off at one altitude (say, a 10-storey rooftop), and landing at another (say, the ground floor level of the building)? I have an idea for a video I want to film and it would involve doing this. I'm just wondering if anyone...

    My first drone video ("The First Snow")

    Hi everyone, I just made my first little drone video. Let me know if you like it! It's basically my collective apology to the Drone community for crashing my first one before reading the manual lol. Here it is! I travel a lot so I hope to make some cool videos, hopefully Fiji soon...

    P3 Beeping / no camera signal after gimbal replacement

    Hi all, I replaced my P3's gimbal today after having lost the previous one in a crash. I replaced it with a brand new one from DJI, and the install was simple enough. However, after the install, the P3 is beeping (like beep-beep.... beep-beep.... beep-beep), and there is no signal (red bar) on...

    Can I fly with 2 carbon props, 2 plastic?

    I have no idea HOW I missed it but apparently the carbon fibre props I bought on the DJI website only come with 2?! How silly... but I guess I didn't read enough... I thought $15 seemed low for these bad boys. Anyway, can I fly with 2 carbon and 2 plastic? Or is that going to mess up the flight...

    Bought a phantom 3, destroyed in 2 hours later - next steps?

    Thanks for that -- I totally understand where you're coming from regarding not wanting to make the community look bad. To be honest that did not occur to me at all, I had no idea there was such a strong community behind drone flying, and had no idea there is so much current and pending...

    Bought a phantom 3, destroyed in 2 hours later - next steps?

    My credit card's annual fee is $899 so I think I deserve the top tier purchase protection insurance, which I clearly have. Kind of surprised at the attitude of some of the last few posts. My apologies if my drone accident has offended you.

    Bought a phantom 3, destroyed in 2 hours later - next steps?

    Oh, phew, okay thanks! Yea, I thought that would be a little mean of them to just ship the camera without that cable and expect you to buy it separately!

    Bought a phantom 3, destroyed in 2 hours later - next steps?

    Oh no! That sucks, hopefully I can stop the order before it ships out and add it. But, with the link you sent, those are not the types of cables I'm talking about. The cable that broke is one of those flat looking ones. Not sure if its this one: Buy Phantom 3 - Flexible Gimbal Flat Cable (Sta)...

    Bought a phantom 3, destroyed in 2 hours later - next steps?

    Thanks for the responses! The card is the Visa Infinite Privilege and it has amazing insurance. I'm already talking to the adjuster and have submitted photos of the damage, etc. I've just purchased a new 4k camera/gimbal from the DJI website. It was $539 USD (my Visa will reimburse this cost)...

    Bought a phantom 3, destroyed in 2 hours later - next steps?

    Hey everyone! Merry Christmas! So I went to the Apple Store today and bought my own Christmas present! I got a Phantom 3 Professional. Love it, it's amazing. I spent about an hour playing with it, recharged it, and decided I wanted to try the follow me feature in my car. I got it up in the...
