    Is new update just for DJI Go, or is it firmware for drone too?

    I thought one of them (maybe the app update?) was required or it would limit flight distance, height, video, etc.

    Is new update just for DJI Go, or is it firmware for drone too?

    I fly a P4 for home/personal use, and an I2 for work - with DJI Go-4 for both of them (separate ipads)... Is this new update only for the app, or is it also a firmware update that will need to be applied to the drones?

    Need small case/backpack recommendations

    Think I've about got it narrowed down to one of these - can anyone speak to personal experience with either? https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0167H70M0/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_S_ttl?_encoding=UTF8&colid=2A2TSV9ATIMJE&coliid=I3JV11U1QW5YHP or...

    Need small case/backpack recommendations

    I'm looking for a small case or backpack. Doesn't have to be able to withstand a nuclear blast or anything like that, since it spends 99% of it's life in the backseat of my truck or in our camper. Just want something to keep all my stuff together and easy to get to. "All my stuff" just means the...

    Buyers remorse with P4?

    Got a little more flight time today, and yes, it's pretty awesome. Still deciding if it's ~$400 more awesome than a P3P

    Buyers remorse with P4?

    I haven't "really" flown it yet - I put it up for about 2 minutes last night just to get it in the air. I guess I was questioning myself from the beginning, then I saw a review (or two) that basically said it's not worth it because most of the new stuff for the P4 doesn't actually work as...

    Buyers remorse with P4?

    i had planned on getting a P3P, and today my wife surprised me and told me to go ahead and get the P4 if I wanted to - so of course I did. Now I'm second guessing myself and wondering if I should have stayed with the P3P. I've been trying to watch comparisons and reviews, but I can't convince...

    P3A video link vs 5.8ghz for FPV

    Does someone here have experience with both the Lightbridge link on the P3A and something like a 250mw 5.8ghz IRC video link? I'm curious how they compare in terms of maintaining the signal over distance and at penetrating objects (like trees) - also curious about latency. Is the video feed fast...

    So is it legal or not?

    Thanks yall...

    So is it legal or not?

    That's the same kind of things I've seen - I'd like to find the legal documentation somewhere, but state legal sites are a nightmare to navigate - especially with all of the legal jargon. My guess - is that hobbyists who have a chance to make a little side money shooting a quick aerial video...

    So is it legal or not?

    re: being paid for pictures taken with my Phantom I've read articles saying it's illegal, and I've read articles saying it is legal. I know of people that have said they will keep doing it (for money) until someone stops them. To this point, I've refused jobs just to be safe, but I get so many...

    Phantom 2 drifting more than ever on GPS mode

    Me too - sounds like an identical setup and problem. I've read in the past (but haven't gone back looking for it) info on how the gains work and what they do about this.

    share your gain settings for a p2 + h3-3d (thanks!)

    I can't help, but I'm looking for info on what the gains do, what are realistic numbers, etc myself... So, subscribed.

    Take off with no GPS, but get gps in air?

    Thanks for the responses everyone.. Kinda what I thought but I wanted more informed opinions. As for the warehouse, that was more of an example than a real world situation. What I have done, and I didn't even think about it at the time, was to fly through a covered parking area. Nothing strange...
