OK Thx.

Still need to figure out why it won't upgrade but I did unbrick the AC by downgrading the RC firmware back to 1.5.8. I think the AC is version 1.7.60? On the about screen it shows the App as 3.1.5, the next line says version 1.7.60 (I assume that is the AC?) and the RC shows the 1.5.80 I was...

After years of relatively trouble free Phantom use, I now have one of the firmware bricks. I updated the DJI app this morning after not flying for 6 months. Sent the phantom out and flew around without any issues. Figuring that any serious glitches in firmware would show up by now, I updated...

You must not go to a lot of gun ranges :) At our local shooting ranges, we have to call cease fire on the firing line almost daily to allow deer and turkeys to walk across the range. They get used to regular activities. It would be better if they just adopted a law similar to Colorado where it...

How do prior court rulings that a property owner has certain rights to the immediate airspace over their property work in this case? I don't remember the exact wording but I recall it said something to the effect that a property owner has rights to control the airspace required for the enjoyment...

One of the newer ones is "30 millions drones were used safely and responsibly today" The others are the main ones though ;-)

I'm curious if manufacturers will require entering your registration number in a future firmware upgrade? Not sure if it would just be a DJI thing. Wouldn't be surprised if manufacturers played along to get some other concessions. Sounds like the start of the slippery slope. Reading some of...

I'm more interested in the thermal camera the guy in the launch videos shows. I can't find any info on that accessory. That is a big want for the Fire and Search and Rescue crowd.

The plan is to use a cell phone hotspot for the wifi connection. That's worked in the past and in bigger disasters, we can usually get a portable cell site site set up for emergency responder use.

Doh!!! Sorry, just saw the other post on this. Looks like vapor ware for Android for now? I must have passed this post in the process of writing mine.

I've been through a bunch of links but I can't seem to locate a simple answer about how to live stream the video to you-tube. Do you have to go through a bunch of set-ups with Youtube and Google +, or is this a one-step button in the Pilot App? I've been through every part of the the app that...

Sorry, just saw this . DJI Direct

It is actually a pretty big limit on one of the more functional uses of UAVs. For search and rescue and checking out smoke reports for wildland fires, it is pretty common to fly from the road side or a parking area and up a trail or ridge line to do a quick look before crews head out, saving...

I ordered my P3A without extra battery on the 10th and it just arrived here at the office. As mentioned above, I am pretty amazed that this thing left China yesterday morning , went to Hong Kong, Memphis, Colorado Springs, Grand Junction and arrived here in Aspen, CO before noon. Hats off to...

Thanks for the thought and ideas. That will give me some things to look at. I did do a search but didn't think of the correct terms to search by. Here is the video that I donated my footage to. https://vimeo.com/81898143 One thing I considered was stuffing a small handwarmer inside the...
