In Ossining but very very new, only a couple of practice flights so far.

NY just put in a law that you cannot fly within 1000 ft of a prison. Is there a down and dirty way to figure how far away the drone is if I'm shooting in the area? I've seen some laser tools but they are very expensive. Regards... Steve

Depending on where I will be, I have one or several airports and multiple helipads that I would have to notify. I understand if I'm several hundred feet up but 50 - 75? Just now I ran Airmap and there is one airport and 6 helipads. Your input appreciated. Regards... Steve

Thinktank Airport Helipak. More than enough room for the bird, extra camera, lens, laptop, etc. The older version is at substantial discount, new one just came out. Best.... Steve

With the demise of the P4, will there be a firesale on the batteries? What price can we expect? Best... Steve

Just received the Thinktank Helipak. In addition to the P4P+ I have an extra battery, Nikon D7200 with L bracket, 80-200 F4 (a touch too big but workable, an 11-16 and a 35-70. Also have a laptop and all the charging stuff and still some room. I'm a short senior citizen and the bag is very...

1st firmware I've ever done. Connected to the p4p+ controller and had it connected for some time, way more than 15 minutes (red light blinking) but don't think anything happened. Did I miss some kind of start button or something? I then disconnected and hooked up to my computer and launched DJI...

I think he was referring to seagulls being pretty territorial and will attack things that come into their area. Read that on one of the boards. Best... Steve

Don, did you ever make the Word doc available? Regards... Steve

FYI... just ordered the Thinktank Helipak but I know this is a great bag as well. Price drop might be because they are going to come out with a new one that will fit the P4P batteries? Best... Steve Manfrotto D1 Backpack for Quadcopter MB BP-D1 B&H Photo Video

Looked in the manual and some of the threads but can't seem to find the answer. Also, where do I find how many satellites I'm locked into? Best... Steve

Just starting to learn all of the menus upon menus but not sure what settings to choose and why. Right now using the default - Gimbal up, Gimbal down. Seems the scroll wheel does the same thing. Much appreciated. Best... Steve
