These 10 pages have been a time consuming and rather tedious read. To me, the main point is that if DJI wants to impose a requirement to fly, DJI needs to be up front before purchase is made. The least sinister scenario would be that this is a conflict between their marketing and their...

It's been alluded to, but not stated this way (unless I missed a post): First, one does not have to download and install the software/firmware update. Second, if the updated software/firmware IS downloaded and installed, THEN if you don't log in to dji, functioning and performance will be...

This (second to last sentence). This is the norm where DJI is based. People are expected to fall in line.

All of those were taken with a Canon 7D or 7D2 and the 100-400, versions 1 or 2. That's my go to combo for most things that fly. Occasionally, I'll use an extender. Speaking of airshows, in 2016, I decided not to go and stand in the sun for hours. I watched a good bit of it from the back...

I just finished reading the court order. It seems that the only thing changed is the registration requirement. I don't know on what the authority for the 5 mile airport exclusion/notification zone is based.

Lawn chair works quite well. No roof necessary. It can get noisy. From my yard:

All good information. The last time I landed at an airport shared by mil jets was 45 years ago. I'll ask my son who has a pilot/instructor friend who used to work at that base. If the planes are in the described pattern, they are probably lining up 1.5-2 miles. I've seen them cut the...

This has probably not been discussed before and I am curious. I live 2.1 miles from an AFB and 2.6 miles from the end of the runway. A straight takeoff from Runway 03 puts the aircraft a little over 1.5 miles to my east. The base trains F-16 and F-35 pilots. When the jets are in the pattern...

I agree that freedom must be earned. The problem is that it is earned by a relative few of the population, and many reap the rewards, but have no appreciation. I also have travelled a good bit, including the Philippines, the then Soviet Union, and all of Central America, as well as more...

Did you download the full manual from DJI? There are a lot You Tube videos with good information. Just need to weed out the so-so.

67, P4P

I've been here a couple of weeks. Received a P4P two weeks ago. I am gathering the relevant information on the dos and don'ts, and coming to the realization that flying will likely involve having to travel.....to avoid the 5 mile radiuses all around me (two miles from an AFB and sandwiched...

I don't know, but am waiting for a knowledgeable response. (bump)

A few minutes ago, I saw a photo of a phone held just like that. So obvious, and I didn't think of doing it that way. Must be age. Thanks.

I have the iPhone 7+. The control screen-holder is mounted vertically. I see no way to make it horizontal. The two side tabs fold forward but cannot be pulled to the sides (to allow for the iPhone to be mounted horizontally). The top clamping mechanism in its lowest position, will not hold...
