    Various versions of Assistant 2?

    Does anyone know why there are suddenly a bunch of different versions of Assistant 2? I have V1.2.4 installed on my computer which I'd swear used to be listed as compatible with the Phantom 4, but now I see that the Phantom 4 series has it's own version, while my other drone, the Mavic Air, is...

    Criticism Mounting over Transport Canada Drone Certification Exam Questions

    I passed the basic exam on the first try a couple of weeks ago and now have my pilots certificate. Even though it's only needed in time for June I decided to write it early to get the weight off my chest! I did have to Google some stuff but overall it wasn't too bad (though the TC server went...

    Phantom 4 upgrade brick

    I ran into a similar issue a few months ago when I upgraded my P4 to the latest firmware via the DJI GO 4 app. Update stuck at 99% and poor image transmission. Solution for me was to refresh the firmware using the Assistant app on my Mac. Had to recalibrate the vision sensors, IMU, etc. but it...

    DJI Spark Photos

    Yeah... just off by 50 grams. :( Especially here in Canada that would have been really welcome to have a fully featured drone under 250g... Still will probably end up getting one (but now more torn between getting the Spark or spending a bit more $$$ and getting the Mavic. Decisions...

    I really hope you are right! If so this is good news!

    Higher Capacity Batteries in Original P4

    Can anyone confirm if the higher capacity batteries that come with the P4 Advanced and Pro models are compatible with the original Phantom 4? If so, how much real world extra flight time to they give? Thanks! (Sorry if this has already been asked, but I could find no clear answer on DJI's website)

    Recreational drone now illegal in most of Canada...

    Not sure if this was already posted in this thread (probably was -- either way it's worth sharing again), but this petition has accumulated quite a few signatures, and everyone here should take a moment to add theirs if they haven't already.

    Recreational drone now illegal in most of Canada...

    I too plan to write a letter to Mr. Garneau later this week once time allows. I hope everyone reading this will also take the time to send a letter to him. The more letters we collectively send, the more likely we will succeed in our cause.

    Recreational drone now illegal in most of Canada...

    Glad to see DJI has acknowledged these ridiculously over-restrictive new regulations. We all knew new regulations were coming, but I don't think anyone really expected something as harsh as this. Fortunately, I live very close to a large ball diamond which is often deserted, so as best as I can...

    Silver iPad mini2 64 gig cellular lifeproof case

    Judging from the home button, I'm assuming it's the 2, and you may want to include that in your description of the device.

    Drone Deploy Question

    Does anybody know if it's possible to mark a bunch of coordinates on a 2D map that was made using drone deploy? I can use to marker tool in the annotate section to place a marker on the map, and it'll tell me the coordinates but I would like to work it backwards were I input the coordinates, and...

    Scary flight behaviour (sudden changes in altitude)!

    So yesterday I tried ActiveTrack for the first time with my P4, and noticed that while it did a good job of following me it gradually lost altitude as it did so. Around the same time I noticed that when stopping from forward flight, the Phantom would dip down a bit before returning to it's...
