    Poll: Do you ever fly beyond visual line of sight?

    I pretty much avoid it at all costs. Maybe its because I think the COB is gonna appear behind me screaming about it. But in all seriousness, I avoid it. Not enough awareness for me to be ok with only seeing 1 direction and there hasn't been a legit shot where I couldn't get closer.

    Crystal Sky Monitor

    Honestly, thats fine to do. Just please tell us in advance so i don't buy something that turns out, isn't standard. I worked on a freakin car android system where the end user could install apps. Its..expected in this day and age. Concerns about 'unruly' apps and such are part of the reason...

    Crystal Sky Monitor

    This. Short of the SDK they were using, im not getting any further. With the RC integration, I would be worried about rooting it only to miss critical system parts. I just dont understand why it was built like this considering its not a kiosk or some other public facing system. Who the hell puts...

    Crystal Sky Monitor

    Considering the last android device they made, im running the other goddamned direction from this monitor.

    conflicted: Phantom 4 Pro + (with 5.5” display) vs the Phantom 4 Pro

    After plugging in the pro+ rc last night and spending a few hours hacking on it, kinda wish I had chosen not to get it. I wont go into the technical details, but its quite annoying to have such a limited android device that i cant install anything onto. I should have considered this as ive...

    Is anyone actually happy with their P4P??

    Read the answer here https://www.quora.com/Why-is-5Ghz-wifi-faster-than-2-4-GHz-wifi *Im no radio expert but it seems the same principles will apply to our RC's using these frequencies.

    Is anyone actually happy with their P4P??

    This is likely the only thing i would change: going through DJI directly

    Phantom 4 Pro + Integrated Screen query.

    While ive had to deal with app crashes, i dont crap my pants when emergencies happen so I calmly reboot the controller. While im feeling a little silly about not being able to use 3rd party apps at the moment, I feel like that is a matter of time. Still dont have a fraction of the problems...

    Line of Sight

    For the purposes of signal transmission, Line of Sight means there are no obstructions between you and the bird. For the purposes of seeing the bird, Line of Sight mean you can see the drones position and attitude clearly with unaided (glasses ok) vision.

    Trying to get better at this.

    So here are two videos I made from a trip down to San Pedro, Ca yesterday. I failed myself a bit by getting there late which made trying to shoot in peace and without people impossible, but I actually felt like a drone ambassador because there were so many people coming up to ask me questions...
