    Phantom 4 Pro fell out of the sky!!

    I have written many times in other threads offering a 180º different experience when dealing with DJI. I shan't repeat myself here, just to say that for the "relative" few bad experiences (among tens of thousands I am sure) there is a magnitude of good experiences, people just don't go online to...

    Phantom 4 Pro fell out of the sky!!

    Yep... that's why I added the caveat: "unless warranty is transferable from original owner and it is purchased within the covered time period?" I just bought a crashed Mavic off craigslist for 200 and sent it in for repairs... ($198) got back a shiny refurbished Mavic (total outlay 398)...

    Phantom 4 Pro fell out of the sky!!

    Don't believe they will "replace" it per se as there is no warranty unless warranty is transferable from original owner and it is purchased within the covered time period? However... DJI are in my opinion pretty [ha ha ha] good at replacing a bird with a fully refurbished one with a quick turn...

    Please read. Threatened while flying my drone!

    Threatening to "shoot down a drone" is a an act of terroristic threatening and if reported to the FAA will be investigated and reported to the FBI... my contact at the FAA here in Hawaii told me a story just like this... and the FBI paid him a visit. No further complaints. AT 300ft it is barely...

    Flying in Oahu, Hawaii?

    If you are flying within the grid as a recreational pilot you have to call ATC and inform them of your intentions... these LAANC are for PT 107 pilots where we can submit a flight plan and get instant approval... The LAANC map is a good indication of the altitudes you MUST adhere to whether PT...

    Had the exact same issue last week while flying (trying to fly) a job... and I am a commercial pilot with a company that does construction inspections... not inexperienced as this post might suggest ;) so do this every week 3 or 4 times... I was getting more and more frustrated... booting...

    Drone knucklehead . . . very UNCOOL stunt flying over HELICOPTER

    I am the first to call stupid on reckless pilots... But it appears that from my estimation he was in legal airspace if he was less than 400ft agl but yeah looking again it does appear he is much highe than 400... The other video of chasing wildlife upsets me no end... in Hawaii here DLNR would...

    Hi all.... Please help

    Technically and semantically you are correct, but you have to include "intent" and no matter what you call it, the "intent" was to keep it within visual range. But even then, looking at the map with all those buildings etc and it being so far away, Im not sure it was even in LOS... still...

    Unfortunately, Google Play Services has stopped...CrystalSky
