    Is Homeland Security creating drone hysteria?

    Keep in mind America is the "take kids away from parents first and investigate the possibility of abuse second" country. People fear what they don't don't understand and with media coverage like this will only lead to more fear and less answers. I recently watched a youtube video of a guy here...

    Show off your Cases!!

    So this is my new Nanuk 950 that just came in today. Love the looks and how secure it feels. It's not light but has wheels and a handle as well. Sent from my iPhone using PhantomPilots mobile app

    Nanuk 950

    Which backpack did you get if I may ask. I've never had a problem with checked luggage but would hate for my phantom to be the first piece of luggage "lost". I looked at the Dji pack and few of the other options but just not sure :-(

    New P3S owner!

    Cases are very subjective I've found. A lot of people like backpacks if you plan to go hiking with them, others like hard side cases if you plan to travel with it a lot. As I plan to bring mine to England to visit my sister in a few months and I don't do much hiking but will be driving around...

    Stupid rookie mistake :-(

    I hope so. I will continue to monitor it but if I need to (looked at motor replacing videos and yeah no) have the motor replaced. Can anyone more savy than I in soldering do the job or should I send in to Dji to have it fixed if needs be since I don't want to void my warranty as its only 2 weeks...

    Nanuk 950

    I thought about the 945 but the I decided to go with the 950 for the wheels and handle. The orange does stand out but even if I had it on my backseat I would just put something over it anyway. The 20$ in price between the black and orange was negligible when considering what we paid for the...

    I am using a flashlight to look down the holes but I can't really see anything out of place.

    Stupid rookie mistake :-(

    That's good to know. I didn't notice it going any slower but I'm gonna have to keep an eye on it. Thank you so much for the quick response. I am still terrified :-(

    Stupid rookie mistake :-(

    Ok so after almost 2 weeks decided to remove the prop guards. Yes it's about screws. I had the original screws in a little jar in my phantom 3 tool kit but the first screw I replaced I accidentally used one of the longer spare screws from the prop guard kit (Dji set) so my question is I...

    Nanuk 950

    So finally ordered it and I chose the orange it's bright but will also be easy to spot if someone tries to make off with it.
