    A Beautiful Cow Family lol (**check it out**)

    Nice smooth flying and a good music choice. The music works well without being overpowering. Also the way you were orbiting the animals was high enough to not spook them or draw their attention made the video seem as much in nature as it could get.

    If it ain't broke, don't fix it!!

    Having a P3A, I've subscribed to the "If it ain't broke don't fix it" rule. With all the problems I had with DJI Go app, I moved to the Litchi software and never looked back. (Just my $.02).

    P4P BIG vehicle carrier ship caught leaving port in Philadelphia

    Nice flight and smooth video. I've flown over water, and there's always that chance you might have a water landing, but if you are not taking the risk, you won't have the video.

    Found this on Craigslist today. Thought I would post it here in case it belongs to one of you.

    help please read and reply

    The first time my P3A lost it's tree branch battle, I researched several methods and picked a drone dealer about an hour away. Once my P3A was repaired it had contracted the deadly jello video which was fine while moving and horrible when slow or hovering. I was never able to get it all out...

    Drone scam

    David Harum expanded the quote, "there's a sucker born every minute and two to catch him," The amount of time and expense is so small compared to just one successful transaction. And don't forget the ever popular scam "Your PC has been infected with a virus. DON'T Turn Off Your PC" Call...

    ferry boat in brazil

    That was a very good show of control and concentration on your (moving) target from all angles while gaining the occasional altitude to include other scenery. Well done!

    Man hits baby in the face with drone

    Seems this was hashed out at the time it happened over in the Mavic forum as well. https://mavicpilots.com/threads/man-fined-for-flying-drone-that-hit-baby-in-the-face.45162/ I haven't found any follow up on a civil suit yet....

    Flight Distance

    Oh... um... THAT flight? I meant my friend had a hard time keeping the boat out of frame as we were chasing it. Yeah, that's the ticket. ©Jon Lovitz (Thank you, I'm humbly corrected)

    Flight Distance

    Oh, not much at all, it was a calm day, and I don't think I was at dangerous levels, but I think it was in the 20% range upon landing. I wanted to make sure I wouldn't be too low on battery if I encountered a head wind.

    Flight Distance

    There are several videos on YouTube about removing the distance limit (mainly because of antenna modifications). I've been about 2.39 miles offshore with my P3A, (with a cheap eBay windsurfer directional antenna cover). And if anyone asks, my spotter had binoculars to maintain the line of...

    so another p4 or ugrade to advanced ??

    My current unit is a refurb, I've had no problems, and (had) the same warranty as a new one. I kept the same model to reuse (and increase) accessories. (Just my $.02)

    Dji refurbished

    I'm on my second P3A refurb, each looked new. But the main reason for my refurb decision was to reuse all the accessories (batteries, blades, etc), I purchased mine via Msingers refurb link in the signature. DJI Refurbished Products - Big Savings, Certified Quality and Full Warranty | DJI.com
