    Lost my phantom :-(

    It's too late now but couldn't you have used the "Find my Phantom" feature (not knowing which model you had, maybe that wasn't available?) And I assume the 6 satellites is after the bird's suicide attempt, not prior to?

    Stress on landing gear with catch-landings.

    x2. I've been hand catching for a long time and never had a problem nor did it feel like I was stressing the gear. I had some pretty hard drops (some due to VRS) and have never had a problem with the landing gear.

    What happens when you fly skid row

    Wow. That's enough to get your heart rate up.

    I got my upgraded transmitter for Christmas.......

    Putting instructions in the box would make too much sense, not DJI's strong point. The best instructions I've seen were by Moparbob at: viewtopic.php?f=27&t=29063&start=40 I used his instructions twice on two separate occasions and it worked perfectly. Good luck. The wheel is sweeeeeeet!

    Hawaii Vacation Reel- Lava Flow, Shark Dive, Aerial Footage

    Re: Hawaii Vacation Reel- Lava Flow, Shark Dive, Aerial Foot I'm skeptical. That would require four (4) separate downdrafts in four (4) distinct locations in the mountains (5 with Mholz's experience), only at 14,000 ft. never at 12,000 ft., all occurring on calm days.

    Hawaii Vacation Reel- Lava Flow, Shark Dive, Aerial Footage

    Re: Hawaii Vacation Reel- Lava Flow, Shark Dive, Aerial Foot I use the standard props at 10,000 to 11,000 ft. all the time with no problems. I ordered some thrust-boosted props but haven't received them yet. I doubt I'll try them at high altitude (i.e., 14,000 ft.) unless DJI wants to pay for...

    Hawaii Vacation Reel- Lava Flow, Shark Dive, Aerial Footage

    Re: Hawaii Vacation Reel- Lava Flow, Shark Dive, Aerial Foot What the hell is with this? The same thing happened to me four separate times at 14,000 ft. here in Colorado. Flying fine then suddenly she just drops! If you figure it out let me know. I've heard lots of theories but none of...

    Free DJI Pilot Training - yeah, right!

    They said it was Inspire #6. I'm sure they'll start showing up soon.

    Agreed. You're not missing much. The only thing that made the one I went to worth it was seeing the Inspire but so what. It's mostly a couple hours of marketing.

    Vision + owners buying or not buying a Dji inspire 1

    I feel the same way. I saw the Inspire last weekend at the DJI class in Denver. Two things surprised me about the Inspire: the size/weight and how quiet it was! I loved the looks and it was significantly quieter than my P2V+. When I picked the thing up I was shocked; it's a substantial...
