    Drone and Travel

    Thank you. To be honest if one plans to go on a similar vacation in several EU countries I would seriously consider getting Mavic Pro instead for portability :)

    Drone and Travel

    I didn't get to film in Prague, my drone was grounded in the hotel room. Speaking of Melbourne, to be honest I am getting pretty disappointed with our local regulations. You can no longer film in National Parks - which are the best places to film. I filmed in Grampians National Park after asking...

    Drone and Travel

    Hi guys, Whoever is interested, I wrote a piece about my experience of traveling with a drone here. I didn't have any issues taking my drone from Melbourne to Europe with stop overs in Vietnam, Russia, Czech Republic, Italy, France and Iceland. A part from a few questions here and there it was...

    So who's dumping their P4 for Mavic?

    I am a P4 owner and I recently came back from my 5 week vacation in Europe. Now I am not sure how big a difference in video quality there is between P4 and Mavic but I could really use the portability of Mavic in Europe. I can’t stress that enough. For example: I had a backpack dedicated to the...

    Filming in Venice Italy???

    I personally wouldn't fly in Rome...I had a drone with me pretty much everywhere in Italy and only got to fly it in Lake Como area, very early in the morning with almost no one around. And even then DJi Go app displayed a message asking if I knew what I was doing. Rome is very busy at all times...

    Random obstacle avoidance not working error

    I too have this happen every now and then. At first I thought it was a sunglare blinding the sensors but the issue has become too frequent (once in 2-3 flights) so I'm now thinking it is a software issue.

    Filming in Venice Italy???

    I know this thread is old but if anyone else is planning to drone in Venice, Italy please be aware that Venice is a no fly zone for drones for many obvious reasons. In the best case scenario you will be fined Sent from my SM-N920I using PhantomPilots mobile app

    Restricted flight zone Italy Venice

    I'm in Venice right now and my phantom 4 is grounded in the hotel room. I asked local police and they said that all of Venice is a no fly zone for drones, even the outer parts of venice towards Murano island where it is much less busy (I was planning to film in outer parts of Venice very early...

    what will happen when this drone is in hands of terrorist?

    More like flying over populous areas and crash landing on someone's head, house or car. I would be more comfortable flying 2 miles out above the ocean where I can't see it than flying 100' AGL in say, Paris city center. Sent from my SM-N920I using PhantomPilots mobile app

    what will happen when this drone is in hands of terrorist?

    There is more risk associated with a car ramming terrorist attacks than a small drone that is only able to carry extremely light load. I would be more worried about recless idiots flying their drones where they shouldn't that can potentially lead to a blanket ban on operating drones at all.

    Traveling with the drone through Moscow airports?

    Thanks. If my drone is still with me after my first stop in Moscow, I will write a comprehensive post about traveling with the drone thru several European countries. Currently on my list: Russia (Moscow), Italy, France, Czech Republic (Prague) and Iceland. The latter is the main reason I am...

    Traveling with the drone through Moscow airports?

    Hi guys, Most of the threads relating to traveling with the drone are somewhat outdated. Just wondering if anyone's had a recent experience of travelling via any Moscow airports with the drone? I am going to Europe this week and my first stop is Moscow. I don't plan to film there (I heard of...
