DroneUp.com offers part 107 training for free. It sounds like remotepilot101.com is good too at $100.

It would be nice for DJI to tell us previous-generation users when their new features (POI, Follow-me) will be released to our birds.

I sent 2 broken camera/gimbal assemblies to www.atkdrones.com in Utah. Both had torn cables and one had a bent gimbal arm. They repaired both at a cost of $449. We exchanged a couple of emails about when they would be fixed. They followed through on their commitment. I had to deposit $80 with a...

Re: P2V+ video shoot over the open sea Nice ! My V2+ has gotten me a ride on a couple of boats too. But not like that one! Well done!

Love this custom paint job.

There are 2 pages of posts under "Crashed Vision 2 Plus" that you can check out. I replaced my shell and was told the Vision 2 and Vision 2 Plus shells are identical. It worked for me. Be aware of the transmitter being held down with double-sided tape. A few of us got stuck there initially. Good...

Kudos to pilot Evan Kilkus for his coverage of the Napa earthquake damage. In this article, he outlines the care he used to be safe to humans and tells how he he asked permission to film. He also took time and effort to promote this kind of positive and safe use of aerial videography, both to...

This water, part of the US east coast Intercoastal Waterway, is brackish and it is affected by the ocean tides and it is always brown. I understand it is caused by tanic acid released from decaying vegetation. It's not bad for you, it's just not appealing. As you get closer to the ocean, it is...

2 Minutes cruising the Elizabeth River in Chesapeake, VA. First water filming. Winds at 20-25. Pucker factor high! http://youtu.be/q7vVCGYnwyo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q7vVCGYnwyo

I'm also seeing trouble with my wifi getting and then staying connected. I'm getting the "Phantom Connection Broken" message. This began after a minor tree mishap that didn't appear to break anything, not even a prop. This is my second shell, so I'm a veteran of taking off the top and securing...
