    Where to Fly in the Coachella Valley?

    I know Palm Springs is a no fly zone due to the airport, but I have also read some of the local parks have banned drones. I'm curious if any of your know the best (or at least legal) places to fly within 30 minutes of Palm Springs. I'll be here for 10 days or so. Thanks!

    Drone Insurance - Seattle Area

    I have insured my drone with State Farm... covers loss, theft, damage, repairs. Covered my brand new P4A for a whole $36 per year. I'm not affiliated with this group in any way and have never set foot in their office. Used State Farm in Bellevue where the agent is a fellow drone pilot so no...

    Noticed that B&H has a substantial sale on P4A for next 24hrs

    Awesome deal; I bought from them and have a 60 day best price guarantee from my CC company. Mine was the great Holiday deal for $1149 with a new battery. This will get some $ back. Also CC gives me an additional 2 year warranty. Thanks for posting; a screen shot is all I need to get the money.

    Gimbal resting position

    I agree but if my undamaged gimbal/camera is being replaced, either the product was defective or in the time between when this was manufactured and today, they have made some improvements and are willing to replace. Either way, I'm glad I sent it in.

    Gimbal resting position

    I am certainly not as experienced as many here and have all of six flight days under my belt. I too have the tilted gimbal issue when the P4A is turned off. However, because mine is new and the weather in Seattle is not conducive to much flying at this time of year, I decided to send my P4 in...

    My pick for transporting p4p...

    John All great point but when I travel with my full Lowepro backpack on regional jets, I have been able to avoid checking the bags by bringing them out to the gate and checking at the point of boarding. This avoids baggage handlers and keeping better track of my gear. I will do the same with...

    Maine Mid-Coast: Pemaquid Point Lighthouse

    Beautiful video. I'm not being critical but it appears your horizon is not flat. You may need to make a gimbal adjustment.

    Seattle area met a few guys

    i was at Sixty Acres in Redmond which is wide open and legal to fly as long as there are no soccer games (not until March) and met up with a couple of guys, one with a Mavic Platinum which is very quiet and the other with a Spark. Saw a demo of Litchi the Mavic guy uses which got me very...

    IPad Mini Updated to 11.2?

    I did the mini update and had zero connectivity issues. Still working on getting video to be smooth but I believe that’s the pilots skill more than any equipment.

    What is your C1 and C2 settings?

    Spokane area

    Yeah but $25 each time you go there seems like a ripoff and a penalty for following the rules. I guess it beats the Seattle rules of Absolutely No Flying in any City Park

    Another Holiday present Noob

    hello everyone... Just got a Phantom 4 Advanced. I have some smaller quadcopter experience but this is certainly a leap for me. I have been reading the posts here and trying to follow the knowledge base. I am Not flying my drone for a few days to gather up all the knowledge I can out of the...
