    Drone Laws State, National and International 2017

    I was looking for Virginia drone laws and came across this site. I looked here to see if it has been posted and saw no direct reference to it, so hope I am not repeating info.

    No Fly Zone Override

    Not yet. Just got this today: DJI is requesting the following and note that it is only good for 3 months even with the waiver from the airport. (Interesting, same scenario, Golf Course and river 1 mile from the airport and the airport will give me verbal authorization but haven't found the...

    Unlocking unauthorized zones

    Another wasted day as far as the DJI is concerned. I got to where I wanted to fly and the RC refused to connect via my phone to authorize my flying in this area. I am going to talk with DJI but right now I am considering selling it. I bought this in June, had it replaced and when I finally...

    Unlocking unauthorized zones

    That is an issue for me as I have tried to connect for authorization and run into login page errors. We are losing battery time as well when doing this. Today I am attempting this unlock from home but driving 25 miles to be able to test it. I now have to take two drones on my weekend trips to...

    No fly zone how to download license on my Phantom 4 pro plus

    I see this is a dated thread, but I have permission to fly in the area of a small airport. I fly a couple of miles away from it every week. They asked that I follow FAA Hobbyist guidelines and that they were fine with that. DJI unlocks online expire after three days. When I go to the field...

    Forward and Reverse obstacle avoidance failure

    I am not too concerned, but was wondering if others experience this. I recently had my P4PP replaced by DJI and the controller repaired to enable wifi connections. Prior to those fixes I flew the craft new, out of the box, for two weeks and never saw any warnings. Now I see various warnings...

    P4PP Screen very hot to the touch

    Anyone notice this? Or is it normal? I just got my P4PP back from service with updated firmware. I am experiencing issues in general which I did not experience prior to aircraft replacement and remote control repair. I noticed today my built on screen is too hot to touch comfortably. That...

    Vídeo streaming is cutting off

    I am experiencing the same skippy results when live streaming to Facebook. My P4PP is fresh back from service with all updates current. My problem includes skippy video showing on my P4PP screen as well. I don't know, but before I sent it off for repairs and firmware updates I was a lot...

    Man.... this sucks

    Good idea. Mostly I believe the DJI is superior as a working platform. It has more features based on what I remember. It is a smoother ride and the Tripod mode makes a lot of sense over the Autel's somewhat jerky response to movement. The Autel is more fun as it is harder to damage whether...

    Man.... this sucks

    Ta da! Finally received the RC from DJI. I have gotten in the habit of flying the Autel XStar to the point where I don't even miss the Phantom since it has been down so long. This weekend I will set it up and start flying. Thanks everyone who commented and offered help and or advice.

    Autel X-Star Premium, any good?

    I love my Autel. My P4PP was replaced due to a crash on my part but was returned with a broken RC. I flew it a week and it has been in the shop since, since late June. As far as the Autel goes, I love it. Fly it almost everyday. I crashed it twice and repaired it myself. The cool thing I...

    Man.... this sucks

    Still waiting. They have sent me notifications that they received, repaired the RC. Approximately 6 days left for return. No charge. Considering service times, I may consider flying my Autel for prepping shots, videos and save the DJI for specialty or final shoots. Just want to maximize...

    DJI Service Sends Refurb for 6 Week old Bird

    Just chiming in to totally agree with service complaints. I bought my P4PP in June. Had it replaced under the refresh plan. When I received it the RC would not connect to WIFI. In short, I flew it for a week in June and I am still waiting for my RC with no word if they will replace it with or...

    Man.... this sucks

    Finally. Today is Saturday. I had to e-mail DJI and explain my issue(s) and finally I have both a response and shipping labels. They are not clear on replacing the RC or Repairing it and it is not clear if they are charging me or not.... It's the little things, I find missing from my Phantom...

    Man.... this sucks

    I think I have to turn off some driver protection service in the bios of my p.c. The Assistant app only shows a picture with no options for doing anything. I've been distracted from getting this done by other things at home, plus I just want to go fly today..... :) Thanks!
