    Packard Plant in Detroit

    Am I missing something? There is no full screen button. I'd like a good look at this. Edit: If you click on the word Vimeo, it opens a new page where you can view a bigger video. Nice production. Thanks for sharing.

    Looks like the "hexacopter" page has been removed.

    Here's an idea..

    And just to be clear, I wasn't suggesting some homebrew technique. I was meaning to suggest that this is something that a drone manufacturer like DJI could incorporate into a drone and would work out the details with the FAA and the FCC.

    Here's an idea..

    Ok, "Unlimited" was not meant literally. Of course, it would depend on the quality of the local cell signal and if there even was one at all. I know that I lose video on my P3A a heck of a lot sooner than 4 miles. What I was envisioning was being able to use my already cell data enabled...

    Here's an idea..

    Interesting. Seems like the key sentence in that act is; "When any aircraft leaves the ground, all cellular telephones on board that aircraft must be turned off." But, if you had a built in data connection utilizing cellular data, is that a "cellular telephone?" I think the intent is to...

    Here's an idea..

    I was thinking about how the Mavic will be able to connect to your ios/android device via wifi and I wondered wouldn't it be cool if you could use cell data to be your wifi connection. In other words, the bird would likely have to have a sim card and connect and your device would also. But...

    Question from a newbie

    If you're not already, you may want to consider Litchi. With it, you can use flighthub online and map out a mission or missions around your property and just send off the drone to run the mission as often as you want.

    In the US, near Canadian airport. How does this work?

    As the title says, I am in the US but about 4 miles away from a Canadian airport that has a 5 mile no-fly radius. If I want to get permission to fly, how would I do that? Can a Canadian air tower give a US citizen in the US permission to fly? Can a Canadian airport even impose the no-fly...

    Phones that work well with DJI GO and the Mavic

    I currently have a P3A, I like having the control of the joysticks, plus my iPad screen to monitor and view what is going on. I really do want both and I feel like the biggest drawback of the Mavic is that in making the controller small and portable, it is also limited and will not support a...

    Phones that work well with DJI GO and the Mavic

    This Fire tablet is 6.7" Should fit and it has pretty strong specs. https://smile.amazon.com/Fire-HD-Tablet-Display-Wi-Fi/dp/B00KC6I06S/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1475967115&sr=8-1&keywords=6"+tablet Edit, hmmm, just 1 gig of ram. Would that be OK?

    Phones that work well with DJI GO and the Mavic

    Yep, I was just hoping for something bigger than my iPhone. I'm going to take a look at the Fire line and see if any of those would fit.

    Phones that work well with DJI GO and the Mavic

    I have a regular size iPhone and an iPad and want as big a display as possible for my new Mavic. I am thinking of buying an Android tablet dedicated to the Mavic. Wondering if there are any reasonable cheap ones out there that should work? Any suggestions?

    Poor Casey Neistat Lost his Mavic Pro

    Why didn't it return to home after a lost signal?

    Selling P3A- Do I need to transfer with DJI?

    I'm going to be listing soon on my local Craigslist. I got my answer regarding the FAA registration. (Just take off the sticker and put one on my new Mavic.) But, what about DJI, do I need to transfer ownership of the drone? I bought it from Amazon on July 17, so it I'm guessing there is...
