    US National Park Service has banned all "drones"

    They don’t need to lobby most end users that buy phantoms will not bother searching whether things are banned or not. And even if they are they will prob still fly it and risk it anyway.

    New user wondering about firm ware

    Word of caution opening shell

    +1 Never had any problems with using the tools provided (unlike normal tools that come with things) Seems more like user error more than anything wrong with the Phantoms themselves.

    New DJI Phantom 2 hobbyist.. Insurance?

    Why do you even need insurance? Who are you going to hit? You’re more likely to win the lottery and then get struck by lightning than to be in the situation were you totally loose control of the aircraft and then hit someone and even if you hit someone you might not even do any real damage to...
