    Using gasoline inversion generator

    I've had my EU2000i for 9 years now. I use it for a wide variety of uses with which I won't bore you. A great unit. I recently purchased a 36' Travel Trailer and I am purchasing the EU2000iC Companion which when paralleled with the EU2000i provides 4KW to power the RV when no hookups are available.

    Are you guys registering your Phantoms?

    Yes, I have. As another guy commented, I also hold an ATP rating and wouldn't want to jeopardize it.

    New to Apple world

    I love my iPad mini 4. A word of advice. I certainly advise a good case for it, I prefer the Otter. But take it out of the case to mount it on the controller. The controller clamp does not function well with a case on the iPad. I had a cheap case first and, with it installed, the iPad fell off...

    Official DJI Hardshell fit

    You are placing the remote in the reverse manner that I use. I place mine in with the metal stand and antennas down and it fits fine. I even have room for my RC harness above the metal stand.

    Best tablet for DJI GO

    My vote is the iPad Mini 4 with Cellular/WiFi. Perfect size, great screen, fast processor.

    Most appropriate video editing software

    I'm relatively new at this, David. I've had some good success with Adobe Premier Elements. I also use Photoshop Elements. In the past (15 years or so) I've used the full blown Photoshop, but I find, these days, the "Elements" versions give me pretty much all the features I need and and they...

    Drone Newbie - Tips for first flight

    In regard to question 1, I learned, from a thread on this forum: Try your first flight on your desk. In other words, LEAVE THE PROPELLERS OFF, sit back, relax and turn on everything in order i.e. RC, Aircraft, App. You can get comfortable powering the props up and shutting them down...

    ND and Polarizing Filter Installation?

    This was a great method. I had one in my pantry. It allows for light pressure around the front edge without squeezing the "barrel."

    GPS/Satellite Maps Incomplete?

    That was the first thing I tried. No dice. Up until today, the map was fine and I have mobile LTE service on my iPad Mini, so I shouldn't have to cache any maps. But thanks for the reply. New info. I actually had to shut down the iPad and restart before it would cache in more map data. Working...

    Unbelievable DJI Repair Time!

    I sent my P3P in for repair after a minor crash rendered it incommunicado with the RC and also resulted in some minor gimbal damage. 5 days after it was receipted for and it was on its way back. I like the website status "meter." Very happy. Customer service is obviously getting better.

    GPS/Satellite Maps Incomplete?

    Just today I fired up my P3P and noticed map view in Standard mode was missing roads and complete areas that were there last week. I called up the Hybrid view and the same situation. When I first started flying last November, I noticed that the maps were about 2 years old based on the...

    Vertical Studio - Looking for Beta Testers

    Great stuff! I've been trying to figure out the best way to track a water skier down a competition slalom course instead of simply following the boat. Also catching and following ski jumpers. This will be the ticket. Waiting for the iOS version.

    New mod coming from DJI for us phantom 3 pro users?

    According to their web site, it appears that DJI is manufacturing and marketing this as a propulsion system for another entity's drone design/manufacture in the commercial realm. Not for inclusion on one of their aircraft.
