Jeesus its gettin pretty heated in here, all I wanted to know was about line of sight

I know this is a stupid question and I’m sorry.

If it isn’t the second one what would...

I have mine on an adhesive label mounted to the rear landing gear. Works great and can be removed if I want to sell my drone and upgrade

You’ve sold me. I was confused at their purpose. How much does it cost, where can I get it and how do I fasten it to my Phantom 3 Professional

Thanks! If the “You make the drone guys look bad” comes up again that will be my response. Thanks for the help!

Thanks! I agree, and thanks about that picture!

I agree, I wont be returning there
