    WHY did my Phantom 2 fall out of the sky?

    Don't care what you kids say; I'm sticking with gravity as the culprit!

    Updates Official DJI

    Quote: " " If everything works well, there is no need to update. " So their (sic) you have it ." Besides missing grade 6 grammar classes :D:D, I see you didn't attend the lesson on "Not believing everything you read", which these days translates into "Don't believe everything on the internet."...

    Is the following an invasion of Privacy?

    The original survey question here assumes that there are only two opposing answers; a problem with a lot of surveys. They're set up to produce emotion and discussion; which, as can be seen time and time again, can very quickly deteriorate into anger, intolerance and even hatred. This technique...

    FAA Violation - Another Idiot

    I’m wondering if a drone this size would actually cause any damage or pose a risk to the Airbus if it had collided.

    Attaching dog tag on Phantom 4

    I’m with Geoelectro: This should be legally protested! This ‘dog tag’ could be made out of any number of plastics which would cause no potential interference with the safe operation of the drone. However, I do like that the Dutch government has implemented this identification system...

    I Dropped my battery and this happened...

    Just my thoughts. BUT It seems to me that the plastics that DJI are using are rather low on the evolutionary scale of plastic. Seams coming apart; stress cracks here and there withOUT crashes or dropping. I do realize that you dropped your battery here, but a drop from 2-3 feet as you describe...

    Latest Firmware Update for P4P - Apr 12

    Basic stuff here BUT, I'm assuming you've made sure that your antennae are properly aligned and parallel with their flat sides pointing upward toward the bird? Had a friend of mine with this issue; he had no idea that the antennae were this critical. --- Duh!

    White and blue dots on my pictures PLEAS HELP!

    1. First, find another person. 2. Lie flat down on the ground on your back. 3. Tell that person to do CPR on you. You'll likely live! [emoji23][emoji57][emoji16] PS: Dead pixels on your sensor? Contact DJI support. Sent from my iPad using PhantomPilots

    Icy Frost at Sunrise

    With my larger full-sized sensor in my SLR, I could have taken this shot out of the window of my car without even having to open the door. Wouldn't need to get out of my warm vehicle to set up the drone with freezing fingers, then worry about flying the thing with reduced battery life because...

    P4P maps question

    Meta4: At the risk of sounding didactic, pedantic, and probably old-fashioned, I'd change your last statement to: "My photos show what is possible with jpeg only." I'm probably like this because I'm a photographer first and a droner second. Of course your mileage may vary. I've shot in jpeg...

    Polar Pro Shutter collection delayed again

    Richard: What the hell is a shutter collection? I ordered, and quickly received, one of their ND/polarizing filter sets (3 filters) for $99, but I did not see any shutter collection. Am I missing something here? In any case, don't "hole" your breath too long; I'll have to come over to...

    P4 Pro Camera

    Easy: Are you primarily into flying (Mavic), or photography (P4P). Have had both and returned the Mavic. Realized I'm really a photographer; the drone is a fancy tripod extension, and I don't need to rent a helicopter any more. Sent from my iPad using PhantomPilots
