    Phantom 3 worth it with remote id coming?

    So, what good is "Part 107?"

    DJI will be adding airplane & helicopter detectors to drones in 2020

    Anyone own the phantom 4 and the 4 pro?

    I still have both. P4P camera results in noticeable still photo improvement and video quality is much smoother having no "rolling shutter effect". Comparing by viewing YouTube videos lessens the difference due to compression.

    Is a flyaway possible in atti mode?

    I wonder why your P4 wasn't in "Opti Mode" where the downward optical sensors provide the aircraft horizontal stability and the obstacle sensors function? I have flown indoors many times in that mode without incident. Unfortunately the technology that makes these UAVs so easy to fly also makes...
