Ok actually figured out the Camera View issue; however, now when I try to start the drone I get the ESC error. One thing after another. I remember now this is why I quit flying it - because of the ESC error. I'll review other posts and topics, but if anyone has a quick link to the fix, I would...

Batteries all charged up. Turned on remote, turned on battery, hooked up DJIGO App. The P3P does the D---DD. On the equipment screen all I see is my name and "Growth of Value" whatever that is. Then Footprints, Top Distance, Max Takeoff Altitude and Top Speed. No camera. Drone wont start up...

As soon as DJI makes a 25x Optical zoom lens camera, THEN it'll be flawless. ;)

Yep, all kinds of birds will chase or check out the drone. I was fishing on the Madison River in Montana over the weekend and we had all kinds of swallows, ospreys, even seagulls come in for a closer look. The swallows, surprisingly, were the most aggressive, coming close, swarming around it...

You will need a really big foam field, about 6' feet deep...

Anyone else experiencing bad data recording in the DJI Pilot App for iOS? Look at this screen shot. From the dates to the flight times to the distances - it's all wrong. I rarely fly less than 3000 feet distance, for example. The dates are all correct on my device(s), but the app seems to...

Perhaps he meant resolution?

Whatever you do....do NOT read the manual! Sorry, couldn't resist. ;)

Just watched a video on another forum where a P3P crashed and it had one of these carbon fiber guards on it. Didn't help. Look at post #20 on the ROLL CALL discussion for the video.

The carbon fiber camera guard is good to protect the camera/gimbal from grass/weeds/rocks and such during routine landings or low level slow flights, but will do little to protect the same from a free-fall at any altitude we usually fly, even if it hits legs first. I have yet to test my theory...

I gotta tell ya, while I'm glad you're ok, I was laughing out loud a bit as I read your narrative. I could see myself doing that same thing.

So don't use the word "drone." Rather, I'd tell the landowner you are going to take some spectacular video and stills of the stadium with your remote mobile camera and would love to share them with the owners for whatever use they desire. While I understand the asking forgiveness part, I think...

Try photographing wildlife from above a la Planet Earth series. Arizona has some of the best pronghorn, elk and deer available anywhere. Check with your local game laws to make sure any such attempt is not considered "harassment" of the wildlife. Find watering holes and game trails. Use your...

I use the Lexar 633x 32GB and it works great for 4k video and anything else. I have not used any of the others listed.

Also, FWIW, it is doubtful municipalities would purchase additional insurance as most are covered by some form of tort claims act, which limits their liability and has specific filing requirement and time limitations.
