    Would you trade a P2 for a Spark?

    I am a beginner and my daughter really wants to learn to fly. Not really interested in professional photography/videography even though I work in the TV business. She's mostly interested in learning to fly and getting really good at it then upgrading later as needed. The camera is really a...

    Would you trade a P2 for a Spark?

    I am new to flying and I have a P2 with gimbal for a GoPro (but no GoPro ) three batteries, spare props, case, etc but am new to flying. I am just curious - from those more experienced with drones in general and flying would you trade one for the other. I know that they're in different classes...

    Are my batteries just bad?

    I have three batteries too and they're going from 100% charged to 1 green light and not being able to fly in just a few minutes.

    Is it possible to set an altitude limit?

    Correct. That's what I did. However after entering my values and pressing enter it did not seem to want to let me keep those entered values and instead changed to 20 m for height. It wouldn't allow me to go any lower.

    Is it possible to set an altitude limit?

    I managed to get to the screen, but it seems it would not let me make the low adjustment that I wanted such as not to fly higher than 2 meters.

    Is it possible to set an altitude limit?

    Hey thanks. I'll give this a try. Is the go home altitude specifically the altitude it will climb/descend to for returning home?

    Is it possible to set an altitude limit?

    My daughter and I are learning to fly a P2. We'd like to practice a little in our backyard without worrying about it going too high, the neighbors being concerned about privacy(we have the gimbal, but it's not attached and we don't have a GoPro anyway), and any other mishaps from learning to...

    Scary first time use. Need advice on status and connectivity.

    I am not able to get the Mac to recognize the drone or the transmitter. I am on macOS Sierra with the latest DJI software downloaded and the unit (powered on) connected through USB. Any ideas? The software gets stuck on the splash screen unless I elect "skip". Then once I am in it, the...

    Scary first time use. Need advice on status and connectivity.

    Thanks. Everyone. I want to makes sure this is all safe first for sure. I will follow your advice to start. I've download the necessary and updated apps, but so fart haven't gotten the computer to connect to it. I'll try again. Right now I feel like I want it tethered while I learn it just...

    Scary first time use. Need advice on status and connectivity.

    I recently was given a DJI Phantom 2. Read through the manual. Set things up properly; blades and calibration. At least I think. When I turn it on and after the startup process I get 4 green lights followed by a rapid flashing red light. Pattern repeats. I couldn't seem to get the motors...
