When I'm shooting fast and furious, I have grown used to finding a good exposure and tapping the upper right "lock" button to lock in exposure. HOWEVER, with my new Phantom P4P+, this option seems to do nothing. I have tried tapping it in auto exposure mode and it doesn't seem to do anything, I...

So....just to be clear, you enjoy randomly hovering over the tops of trees for no real reason, or you knew you were harassing wildlife? Cuz it’s not much of a destination unless you were trying to provoke an attack.

Advising a nervous newbie to fly in ATTI mode is incredibly bad judgmrnt. ATTI is fir expery flyers only.

Here is the YouTube link to the Podcast listed above:

I guess there is a protocol consideration between hovering at a reasonable distance and flying by.

This "neighbor" doesn't actually live in my neighborhood, he posted on an information sharing website for our entire city called nextdoor.com. It identifies his general region (about 4 square miles) but not his address. As I mentioned he claimed he saw a drone hovered 150 yards away (he later...

Hi there, A local resident of my community forum (Nextdoor.com) has posted that no one has the right to fly a drone over his property under 500 ft. He is pointing people to the US "Bundle Of Rights" law, which I Googled, which states that private property owners must grant an easement to anyone...

Not sure why Gary would think I don't have enough evidence when I recorded undercover video throughout, including paying my fine to get my passport back. The video now has 3800 views and an investigation in MK has led to a nationwide review of customs police conduct. So some progress made.

I suggest you record with your iPhone if this ever happens in Broward to you personally. I doubt it is as widespread institutionally as in macedonia but asset forfeiture is certainly a temptation anywhere to simply stretch the law to meet budgets.

Mind you drones are (technically) legal, but I personally watched 3 drone be confiscated that day, and there were many more in the warehouse. They are absolutely part of your personal belongings which in no way require declaration, but even if you declare them, you may lose them. It's a corrupt...

My point is there are different reasons to favor one over another. My point is that "the Mavic is dead" isn't quite the right title for this. Many people can use the Mavic for a number of purposes where it may be a better choice. Also, doesn't it fly very very quietly compared to the P4P?

Just curious, if I am going through customs in a foreign country, which drone has the better profile. Oh, that's right, the Mavic.

Oh, ok, I understand. This isn't a Mexican style police operation where they might hire a uniform and try to take some things by the side of the road, wanting no evidence. This is institutionalized from start to finish. Piles of paperwork are done. Photos are taken. It's all made to look very...

I'm not sure I understand what you are saying exactly. The video was edited and finished a few weeks ago. So as not to make a big deal out of it, I kept it private and selectively sent it to key people in several ministries, including an investigative team for corruption in Macedonia and the...

This is true. The vast majority of Macedonians are good people and it seems like a beautiful country.
