    PHANTOM 5

    After watching the Max Tech video about why he sent his Mavic 2 back, I’ll not be getting a Mavic any time soon. Say what you will about the guy, but he knows cameras, that’s what I truly care about, and I think the Phantom is still the best platform for Pro consumer enthusiasts. If Dji doesn’t...

    What are the chances for a Phantom 5 in time for Christmas

    I agree that the P4P has a better camera, and for me, the Phantom line is a superior drone.

    RTH setting...very conservative!!

    It just takes some time to learn exactly when to RTH in order to get the most flight time without the risk of running out of battery. There’s actually a formula for how many minutes you have of flight to battery level.

    Questions about Class E / G airspace.

    This doesn’t directly answer the OP, but FWIW, part 107 pilots can still fly under hobbyists’ rules in a hobbyist capacity.

    Phantom 4 Pro V2.0 drifts north on it's own

    I believe you're correct, but for what the P5 is likely to offer compared to the V2, I'm willing to deal with it.

    Phantom 4 Pro V2.0 drifts north on it's own

    I think you're right, but I just can't justify getting both the V2 and the P5 when it finally comes out, and my expectations are pretty high for the P5. btw, great piloting and video work.

    Phantom 4 Pro V2.0 drifts north on it's own

    I'm changing my tune about getting the V2, I think it will be worth the wait for the P5, even if it takes another 6 months.

    110v Portable Power Station? Do we need it?

    Personally, I think it's a great idea for charging in the field, and in addition, they make chargers that charge 3 batteries at once, as well as the RC(I have the Thor brand). It looks like you picked out a great portable power supply, and here's another good looking one for less...

    Question about Care Refresh options

    Thank you for the reply, I'd tend to assume they have my new serial number on record, but I'm just wondering how the claim filing process works with an AC without the original serial number, because in the form, they ask for specific information about when and where the AC was aquired. I'll get...

    Question about Care Refresh options

    I received a refurbished AC after my crash and Care Refresh repair, and need to send the new AC back for service, preferably through Care Refresh, however the new AC obviously has a different serial# than the original. I'm going to call DJI customer support to try to get an answer, but I was...

    DJI Mavic 2 confirmed by Argos (specs & model names)

    My biggest concern about the MP2, is whether or not it has aperture adjustments, because if not I’m definitely not going to deal with that again. Im sure it will be a force to reckon with overall, but without aperture adjustments, I’m out. FWIW, when the Phantom 5 finally rolls out, I'll forget...

    Should I be shooting stills in 4:3 aspect ratio for the best quality?

    Thank you very much, I appreciate the reply.

    Should I be shooting stills in 4:3 aspect ratio for the best quality?

    Or is the aspect ratio irrelevant? I much prefer the look of 16:9, but I've heard somewhere 4:3 is best for quality, is this correct?

    P4PV2 - Buy or Wait?

    Agreed, this is my reasoning for saving up for the V 2.0. Ocusync behaves differently than Lightbridge when the video feed degrades due to interference(in my experience), it degrades gradually, instead of just dropping out all of a sudden without warning, giving you the opportunity to adjust...

    What would be the cause of weak/no satellite linking?

    I didn't get the same AC back that I crashed, I received a refurbished AC instead. I flew it today, and either the problem is an intermittent one, in which case I'll send it back for repair, or the issue just went away, but either way, I'm being very careful in the manner in which I fly, until I...
