    No Fly Zone....everywhere?

    https://www.yahoo.com/tech/hate-drones- ... 05119.html Anyone can make anywhere a "no fly zone". Is it really possible that DJI would use this database in future firmware updates?

    Video "Phantom almost bites the dust" thread

    Hello Frank, I do agree I was very lucky! In reflection I have determined that I was an idiot at attempting the distance that I went. I did not have a ground station, the only "thing" I was using was the FPV booster app. I don't remember turning the Phantom but I guess I must have. I do...

    Video "Phantom almost bites the dust" thread

    When I lost video feed a message came across that stated that "dynamic homepoint could not be reset". It then stated that it was going to land. When I posted the original thread I had not watched the video. I had no idea what happened I only knew that the distance changed from 3600 ft to 6600...

    Phantom almost bites the dust....please help

    Thanks crash, I have now turned off my dynamic home point. Thanks Frank, I do appreciate your input. I understand what you are saying about "little security". My flight plan was to observe the shoreline across the water. If the wind would have caused any drift it would have caused it to...

    Phantom almost bites the dust....please help

    That may be the reason for why it stated the incorrect GPS location. I have no need for the Dynamic Home Point so I will turn it off. Why would the app tell me that my Phantom as landing? I just looked at the footage and it didn't seem to loose any of its altitude throughout the flight. Thanks

    Phantom almost bites the dust....please help

    At ground level I was not experiencing any wind at all (no trees blowing or even noticeable cloud movement). I stated the wind speed that was displayed on my weather app. My altitude was at 150 ft. When I switched over to ATTI mode it drifted extremely slowly in my direction so I went into...

    Phantom almost bites the dust....please help

    I fly in ATTI mode because I like the flight characteristics better. (more responsive and faster)

    Phantom almost bites the dust....please help

    So I just came in from a very scary episode in which I felt completely helpless. I took my Phantom out for my first flight of the day (air temp 35, wind 13). I did all the preflight items I always do and waited for homelock and gps lock. I took off, switched to atti mode and went...

    New Owners Impressions

    Re: New Owners Impressions - NAZA mode I almost lost my Husban for the same reason. I took off on my back deck and when it got above my roof the wind started to take my Hubsan away from me and toward the water. I tried to pull back fully but it didn't have enough power to go against the...

    Cold Temp Flights : 14'F or -10 C.

    Well you guys are a lot braver than I. The manual states that the phantom is not to be operated at a temp below 32. I have been chomping at the bit to get back up in the air but have been scared to since I now live in Michigan and it doesn't appear that it is going to be above freezing till...
