The problem is “perception.” You could be flying over another’s property. You could be hovering, but, what is most important is the direction the camera faces. From the ground, many don’t bother or cannot see the camera they look up to the noisy bees and see a white quadcopter and immediately...

I live in very rural America. So when I got my first Phantom, I took off from my yard and practiced. When I crashed, I searched the internet for parts and made the repairs to get it flying again. Then I got the Vision. Finally the P3P. I was always careful to ensure I was not bothering anyone...

If you carry a gun, odds are you have already had a background check. I just got my conceal carry permit last month after a background check and will get another when I purchase a gun. Besides, if you fly for hobby, and have attended conceal carry classes, and have common sense, background...

I flew inside a church with a P3P. Turbulence generated, even with high ceilings was wicked. Avoid being near the walls. It will try to suck you in.

Love the wiener dog sticker, too!

I took these last Sunday. Our high was 1.1*F and it was not during the time I was flying. I had the battery inside for a few hours and freshly charged. Had zero problems and a slight breeze so “feels like”was probably -8 to -10*F. I flew slightly inside to the right in this image due to the...

Before “reporting” shouldn’t the FACTS be known? To make a report to someone without knowing facts also seems irresponsible. You will be utilizing government resources to investigate something, that had simple questions been asked before filing a report, you may have found there was no...

Curious, if this person had been in the United States, your post made it sound as if you were going to call the FAA because you saw what you believed to be a small airstrip? Did I read that right? Just curious because too many believe it is illegal to fly near any airport, but that is not the...

So very glad I live so rural my nearest neighbor is 1/2 mile away. House right next to us is empty and uninhabitable. This is what stupid people flying do to this hobby rallied by the media.

I am very sorry someone ruined your enjoyment. Remember, there are some people who just want to be jack wagons. Complain if you hung them with a new rope, so to speak. Yesterday, (I work in retail auto parts), an older gentleman came in, sort of ambled slowly around the door area. I...

P3P is 27 months old. Just flew last week. I did learn it will not activate the camera if your iPad had no space left. Deleted pics back all that time and it continues to work fine.

That was awesome! Not something I would try. My skills and eyesight preclude that. Never mind the naysayers. It is easy to hide behind a computer screen and keyboard and type away. You are talented. Besides, I am guessing they didn’t read your title screen so close. It clearly states “in...

I have a P3P and my iPad mini IS solely dedicated for flying. I do not use it for any other purpose. Only because it is easier. Charge everything and go. No worries about space or what else may be on it. Mini was purchased for the Phantom flights. That said, I find it amazing/amusing how...

We had a tornado (actually several)come through the area several years ago. I was talking to my brother on the phone but had my video camera in hand when I saw one forming. I began recording and recorded the entire tornado as it went past (about 2-3 miles away). I edited the footage to remove...

Above this thread is a survey question. Do you agree or disagree with DJI restrictions, yes or no? WTF kind of question is that? If you have agree and disagree, responses should be agree / disagree. If I mark yes does that mean I agree or disagree?
