    Will You Upgrade to New GEO Firmware/App?

    Same reason I do any beta test - to get a glimpse of the future and give my feedback.

    Will You Upgrade to New GEO Firmware/App?

    This is insane - thank you very much for sharing. As I noted above, I live in rural Iowa and there are a good number of farmers with private airstrips. Additionally many of the towns around me have a municipal airport, but I'm probably 10 miles away from the closest. I'm a bit scared to try the...

    Will You Upgrade to New GEO Firmware/App?

    I have 100% no problem with no-fly zones and I registered my P3S with the FAA, but this new beta firmware/app that DJI is testing seems a bit over-the top. Why do they feel they need to micro-manage their drone users? If anything happens, it's on the pilot - not the drone maker. There is now...

    28 hours of SNOW!

    I've taken my P3S out in light snow here in Iowa - the props seem to generate enough force to blow any pesky flurries away from the open grills on the sides of the Phantom, preventing any damage. Taking the P3S out in heavy, wet snow, on the other hand, I can't say that I'd advise.
