    P4 first distance flight

    Do the outbound leg of your long distance flights going into the wind. That way, you can return at 60% power and be sure you can make it back. Wind directions may be different at different altitude, so as send to the cruise height and switch to Atti to observe drift before commending.

    Flying Within 5 Miles of Airport - Objection

    Notification is very different than permission. So does this mean we can fly within 5 miles if we notify, regardless of the objection or not if the flight can be done in a manner that is perfectly safe? Say about 30' up to take a picture of a roof gutter on your house.

    DJI go iOS app update 3.0.0

    Does anyone know if GEO, web based geo-fence that can be changed or activated anywhere any time to restrict flight, is still optional in V3 like it was in V2.9.1? There was a slide that you can turn on and off before. Does that still exist in V3? Or is it now always on so your bird have to phone...

    Using DJI GEO, worked fairly well

    Does v3 DJI go have the option to turn off GEO? I don't have a problem with the extra info per say, but I do have a problem that the machine we bought have to seek permission from a 3rd party (DJI geo service) each time we fly. GEO makes it possible for them to ground all the drones if they...

    Check your NOTAMs - glad I did.

    Can someone confirm what version of DJI go no longer have this option? I am using v2.9.1 right now. Anyone checked v3? I am OK with an advisory system to let you know where DJI thinks that you cannot fly, but one that can be changed at anytime without notice and cannot be turned off is...

    DJI Care: What do you do after you get your repair quote?

    I don't have DJI care on my P3P, but they gave me an RMA when my camera will not send video feed and it was repaired in 2 days after they received it (they paid for shipping both ways). They replaced the camera without charge, this was about 8 months old. Not happy that the video transmission...

    Hey DJI: Easy solution to most crashes

    The retrace steps is a great idea that should at least be an option. This would all but eliminate the chance of an obstacle impact on return. In my opinion, this may be a good default if the system detects that there are sufficient battery reserve to return home on a retrace. Otherwise, it...
