I forgot my P3P charger and it's 5 hours away (god dammit). I know someone in town with an Inspire. Anyone know if a stock Inspire charger will charge P3P batteries?

As mentioned before, the app has only a small fraction of airports in it. Using the app isn't enough to show you where you should or shouldn't fly.

Ideally, but not necessarily. Aircraft can be found flying at all altitudes.

You can not rely on the DJI no-fly database if you want to see all U.S airports and their 5nm rings. They have a very small fraction of U.S. airports in that database.

It depends which direction you see it from. If the UAV is lower, as it generally will be, it's going to have the landscape as a backdrop and white will often stand out. This, of course, depends on what's behind it. From the bottom, sides, and top (depending on the type of UAV) the LEDs are...

You guys have absolutely nothing on which to base this idea that these claims are fake. Pilots spot birds on a regular basis. These are typically brown or black or other colors that blend in with the ground. Many UAVs, like the Phantom, are pure white, and have freaking LEDs on them that you...

It could get it from GPS.

The percentage is irrelevant. The number of incidents is what's important. Whatever the percentage is, it's growing, and that's bad for the people who fly safely.

Is there any chance of the filters touching/damaging the lens?

Thanks for all of the great replies guys, I really appreciate it. I did order my Phantom! I can't wait for it to get here. I'm excited to get that camera in the air! I've purchased a few necessities: an extra battery, a case, and a prop balancer. So, a couple more things I need. Do the...

Does it change the way it flies at all?

I'd really like to get a look at the backpack, any pictures you can send, even if they're not ready for the website? I'd like to get some sort of protective case ordered for my P3P tonight or tomorrow.

I'm very close to pulling the trigger on a Phantom 3 Pro. I'm having a hard time figuring out what other accessories are good to have. Here's a small intro since this is my first post: I've always been interested in R/C, and have been a hobby photographer for a while. Naturally, I'm very...
