    I had the perfect morning to get the fog and the great fall colors.

    In Asheville. Need clues for flying in mountains first time.

    Yup. I always to make sure to get that permission before I hunt a property. So far only one person told me no, but she was very thankful I asked.

    In Asheville. Need clues for flying in mountains first time.

    I live not 30 min from you, and when I fly, commercial or otherwise, I always fly up to the point I feel I have cleared the trees, then I do a 360 sweep to make sure, and fly my target property. I use the focus a lot so I only have to worry about left and right, and not the camera. I would also...

    Has this been covered?

    I have my temporary cert, how long does it take to get the permanent one?

    Need opinions

    I would think it is more the OS that it is running than the Tablet itself. Make sure it has a version of Android that is works with Litchi or DJIGo and you should be fine.

    Recovery from near Disaster

    I have learned from first hand experience that water, fresh clean water, is not the end. While yours was close to the water, mine fell 20 ft into the water. Like you I drained it out. I howerver didn;t get home till much later. All I did was leave it in the sun rotating it every so often till I...

    Stay away from the Parrot Disco if you are thinking about buying it.

    Stick with DJI, that is pretty much my motto.

    Kindle fire

    I think I would just go get a mini Galaxy or a IPad, and forego all the extra steps.

    Pumkin Cannon vs Drones !!

    I get nervous when I am flying. Every time. I guess that is good though. Keeps me on my toes.

    Autel drone

    Did not realize how much that Autel drone in the pumpkin video looks like a DJI. My gosh they pretty much ripped it off.

    Still receiving flight logs every day or two from lost P3 PRO...baffled

    This may work for you, it did for me. When mine went down, due to a tree just jumping out in front of me, my battery ejected and Litchi did record the last spot. The controller however still access GPS and the "your are here" spot showed up in Litchi and I was able to guide myself to the drone...

    Tuff drone.

    For any of you who are on this forum and are trying to decide what drone to get. Go with the DJI line. I must say that as a novice flyer, I have put mine through the ringer. First I hit a tree, and it dropped 20ft into water. Dried it off, worked fine. Then I was out doing a job. Like a dummy I...

    Up and running

    Well I was able to nab a new P3S at Walmart of all places. I also went ahead and got the 3 year warranty with it. I also plan on getting my batteries, real DJI batteries from Walmart as well, that way I have a local place I can take it back to if anything goes wrong.
