    Phantom 4 or camera almost goes sideways. Cause?

    Happened to me a week or two ago, no errors, but camera made it look like bird was sideways. Quite scary, even though I could see the P4 well and *knew* she was flying as she should, I thought maybe it was falling, maybe I didn't see a bird, lots of maybes.. Drone in sight, no bird strike, very...

    Can you steal a drone from the air with another remote control or other technique?

    That'll be an older phantom, not a Phantom 4.... Though interestingly, last time I checked, a WiFi password was still in the app, just not used on the P4

    P4P battery in P4, check charges/health

    Possibly and probably, I tried tonight with the latest go app and notice they've removed the 'manufacture date' from the app. Shows charged 0 times. Litchi shows battery life as '0' which does worry me. I'm asking as have been offered the battery by a friend, he says has only been charged 'a...

    P4P battery in P4, check charges/health

    Airdata doesn't seem to show battery stats on free accounts anymore. Battery charges to all 4 lights. Anyone confirm if go should show more data when battery in a p4 standard? I am using an older go version as didn't wanna risk anymore firmware upgrades. It can obviously read the battery as...

    P4P battery in P4, check charges/health

    I've recently been offered a P4P battery that is unused. When in the p4, go only shows the serial number but nothing as to the number of times charged, just a blank space. It's this normal, and if not it's there another way to check times charged/health etc?

    Can you steal a drone from the air with another remote control or other technique?

    Interestingly, there is kit out there that will scan and show locations of drones, circumventing the standard encryption, it also shows the location of the transmitter.. being installed in airports as we speak. What concerns me is that if DJI can circumvent the birds pairing/encryption, so can...

    London’s Heathrow airport halts departures amid possible drone sighting

    British often use the terms, copper, plod, bizzies or pig to mean policeman. Plod could also mean 'to plod along', meaning someone takes their time, one slow step at a time, either at a job, or generally in life.

    London’s Heathrow airport halts departures amid possible drone sighting

    Just like a real UFO, there appears to be NO decent footage, hours upon hours of supposed drone flights yet no one with a camera other than the one on their GSM phone? Hmm

    End of hobby flying in USA?

    Would be easy to incorporate adsb direct into the aircraft, decoding the signals on 1090 is a trivial task. How about an app that runs in the background and simply beeps if an aircraft is below a certain height, withing a certain radius? I'm forever scanning the skies in case of non conforming...
