Amazing! In Russia where there is little jet stream. Guy knew what he was doing. Props for thin air, batteries in series, custom build. 2 lbs. Loved watching the whole flight! A Small Hobby Drone Reaches 33,000 Feet

Very nice! You never see that perspective when the Hollywood sign is shown on Tv or in movies. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks Mike! I had bought a phantom 4 at an Apple Store for a family member on 9/21. After the Mavic release we debated returning the Phantom 4, but then decided that for a novice pilot who would be driving to any flying spot, and not vlogging :) that it came down to proven performance and...

Thanks! I have been getting them again now. Not sure if I had not signed in for 30 days but it is possible. Most forum browse functionality is available without logging in so sometimes I only log in when I wish to comment. Now I know!

Haven't been getting mine anymore. Nothing has changed in settings or email account.

Thanks formstone! don't think I would try the dam...probably security restrictions and too many obstacles.....beyond my experience for sure! not only shallow water at times but lots of protruding rocks and swift current!

thanks for all the encouragement and advice. I was careful to shutdown everything in the boat...engine, battery, sonar. winds were light so I didn't take the bimini down. yeah, my hands were shaking for sure....probably my knees too. Took me a while to learn the minimum basics of power...

After a lot of research and planning, and practicing hand catches, I did my first take off and landing from the boat today. actually landed it on the deck of the small pontoon boat after fighting the buffeting from the updraft, just when I thought I would resort to a hand catch, I saw the...

Thank you fizzlefish! That makes it quite clear, doesn't it? Btw, I am in Harford County. I think the problem is being created in part by the adoption of the media-reported "evil" drones perspective.... Combined with the abuse of power ftttu spoke of. But in this case, no one wanted...

Wow! When I grow up I wanna fly like you do! Love your technique for panning, when to fly sideways, when to back up....beautiful! But how in the world do you fly that route without getting in trouble!

Thank you all for your advice and encouragement. I agree that RC fields are not what we want to do. But I thought it would be a more acceptable way to take off and land from. Guess not. Agree that there is an epidemic of abuse of power in our society today....not just drone related...

discouraging experience flying today... Went to a new location, a county park with a RC airfield open to public as long as you have an AMA number. within 5 miles of two local airfields, one a large military installation, one a seaplane base, called both with flight info (have great...

I live in Harford county and work in harbor east (have a window office on a high floor overlooking harbor from exelon bldg, domino, key bridge, under armor, and the south Baltimore lighthouse style tower whatever it's called) Too much a newbie with my P4 to participate and don't use Litchi but...

I ordered first day from DJI directly and have the markings. The markings are also referenced in the manual - noting that their purpose is to prevent misalignment pressure on the gimbal.

Very nice! You definitely seem to have some experience and talent at flying and editing. I think I have 13 flights under my belt now and only just got brave enough to briefly fly over water. Thanks for sharing.
